Defeating Healers and Shields in Tower Rush

There are few things more demoralizing in an arena battler than watching your opponent’s massive tank completely regenerate its health bar.

Many novice players make the fatal error of focusing all their defensive damage on the massive tank, ignoring the tiny support unit standing behind it.

The Golden Rule: Kill the Support First

You must find a way to bypass the massive meat shield in front and deliver high burst damage directly to the fragile healer in the back.

Alternatively, a perfectly timed heavy spell like a Fireball or Poison can instantly vaporize the support units while simultaneously damaging the tank.

• Use it to physically pull the healer away from the tank she is trying to heal.
• Choose the right tool.
• Healing pushes are usually incredibly expensive (12+ elixir).

The Cheese Pushes

A cloned healer essentially doubles the healing output, turning the surrounding army into a literal immortal wall of hitpoints.

Hover your spell the moment you suspect a Clone play, and drop it the millisecond the blue cloning animation begins on their side of the map.

Staying Calm

Take a deep breath, identify the primary healer, and execute your assassination plan flawlessly.

Cut off the head of the snake, and the body will quickly wither away.
