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.
The Splash Damage Sweepers
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.
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.Always protect your support units.
High DPS Backline
You need high-DPS, single-target snipers like the Musketeer, Flying Machine, or Night Witch to rapidly melt through thick defensive lines.
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.
Building the perfect Beatdown push is like conducting an orchestra; every unit must play its part at the exact right time.
