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.

AoE Support Units

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.

Once the tank falls, the splash unit is immediately targeted by the Princess tower and dies quickly; they absolutely rely on the meat shield to survive.

• If you use an Executioner, strongly consider adding the Tornado spell to your deck.
• Beware of the ‘Valkyrie drop’.
• Always protect your support units.

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.

These high-DPS units require even more careful spacing than splash units, as they are usually incredibly fragile and die to medium spells like the Fireball.

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.

Protect your damage dealers, let your tank absorb the pain, and watch the enemy towers fall.
