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

These units are designed specifically to solve the tank’s biggest weakness: massive swarms of cheap, low-health defenders (like the Skeleton Army or Minion Horde).

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

• If you use an Executioner, strongly consider adding the Tornado spell to your deck.
• 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

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.

Invisible Helpers

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.
