The Best Support Cards for Heavy Tanks in Tower Rush

The true power of a tank lies in its ability to act as a meat shield for the incredibly dangerous, fragile 'support' units walking behind it.

This guide analyzes the different categories of support troops and how to build an unstoppable, synergistic deathball.

Clearing the Path

You place these units a few tiles directly behind your tank; as the enemy deploys swarms to kill the tank, your splash unit instantly incinerates them.

However, splash units usually have lower single-target Damage Per Second (DPS) and are incredibly vulnerable if the tank dies.

• Pulling all enemy defenders into one clump for his axe is devastating.
• Smart opponents will wait for your tank to cross, then drop a Valkyrie directly ON your support units, killing them instantly.
• They are the ones actually dealing the massive damage; the tank is just a distraction.

The Single-Target Assassins and Snipers

These units deal massive, concentrated damage to a single enemy, quickly eliminating the structures placed to stop your Golem.

The Night Witch is historically the most infamous support unit for heavy tanks because she continuously spawns flying bats while dealing heavy melee damage.

The Art of the Spell Support

A heavy tank paired perfectly with a predictive Log and a Lightning spell can often break through a defense without needing any backup troops.

The slow march to victory is unstoppable if supported correctly.
