The Best Support Cards for Heavy Tanks in Tower Rush

If you send a heavy tank across the bridge entirely alone, it will be instantly surrounded and shredded by cheap defensive units for a massive negative elixir trade.

If your support units perfectly counter the opponent's specific defensive strategy, your tank will march directly to the Princess tower unhindered.

AoE Support Units

The most common and fundamental type of support unit is the ranged splash-damage attacker, such as the Wizard, Executioner, or Baby Dragon.

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

• A single heavy spell (like Rocket) will kill the support and severely damage the tank.
• If they use a single-target killer, a splash unit won't help.
• It flies, meaning ground-targeting defenders cannot hit it, ensuring it survives longer behind the tank.

High DPS Backline

If the current meta is dominated by heavy defensive buildings (like the Bomb Tower) or mini-tanks (like the Knight), splash damage support is insufficient.

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

Finally, never underestimate the power of pure spells acting as your primary support for a tank.

The slow march to victory is unstoppable if supported correctly.
