If left unchecked, a single dedicated healer can provide thousands of points of ‘free’ hitpoints to an attacking push, making it virtually unstoppable.
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.
Assassinating the Backline
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.
Deploy your assassin directly behind the enemy push, ensuring it locks onto the healer before the tank can turn around to protect it.
- Never let a Battle Healer continuously strike a target.
- Patience is key.
- Understand shield mechanics.
Countering the Gimmicks
Healing units are often paired with incredibly gimmicky, high-risk spells like Clone or Rage to create an overwhelming, chaotic push.
Cloned units always have exactly one hitpoint, regardless of the original unit’s health, making them incredibly fragile to any form of area damage.
| Response | Execution Detail |
|---|---|
| The Heavy Spell Nuke | The absolute safest method; guarantees the death of fragile backline units without risking your own troops |
| The Backline Drop | Wait until the tank walks past the bridge, then drop a Valkyrie directly behind the tank to separate the support |
Staying Calm
Take a deep breath, identify the primary healer, and execute your assassination plan flawlessly.
Once you learn to surgically remove the support structure of an enemy push, the most terrifying meta decks become trivial to defend.
