If you allow a Beatdown player to execute their strategy flawlessly, there is mathematically no combination of cards that can stop a fully supported Golem push from destroying your tower.
However, the strategy has massive, glaring weaknesses in its early stages that can be brutally exploited.
Striking When They Are Weak
The exact millisecond an opponent places a Golem behind their King Tower, they have spent 8 elixir, leaving them with a maximum of 2 elixir to defend any immediate threats.
If they spend elixir defending your opposite-lane rush, they will have absolutely no elixir left to put support troops (like a Night Witch or Baby Dragon) behind their Golem, rendering the massive tank completely harmless and easy to kill.
- Never attack the SAME lane where they dropped the Golem.
- If you spend 10 elixir rushing the opposite lane and they defend it cheaply, you will have no elixir to defend the Golem when it arrives.
- If you do not have a fast punish card in your hand when they drop the Golem, you are in trouble.
Killing the Support
You must 'isolate' the tank from its support troops using a sturdy defensive building like a Bomb Tower or Inferno Tower placed high in the center of the arena.
The Golem will walk toward the building in the center, creating a massive physical gap between it and the support troops following it.
| What the Golem Does | How to Stop It |
|---|---|
| Night Witch (Spawns infinite bats behind the Golem) | Use a perfectly timed Poison spell; it damages the Witch and instantly kills every wave of bats she spawns |
| Lightning Spell (Destroys your Inferno Tower instantly) | Use the 'Anti-Lightning' placement; space your defensive building and your anti-air troops so far apart that one Lightning cannot hit both |
Breaking the Behemoth
Defeating a Golem deck requires absolute discipline and the courage to ignore a massive threat to secure an advantage elsewhere.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
