Defeating Golem Decks In Tower Rush

The Golem Beatdown strategy is the most visually intimidating archetype in the entire game, designed to create an unstoppable 'deathball' of troops that simply walks over whatever defenses you try to build.


However, the strategy has massive, glaring weaknesses in its early stages that can be brutally exploited.

Striking When They Are Weak

This is your window of opportunity, and you must exploit it with absolute, ruthless aggression.


They are forced into a terrible dilemma: they must either let you destroy their opposite tower completely, or they must desperately spend their generating elixir to defend your attack.

The 'Punish' must be a true threat.If you successfully take their opposite tower during the punish, you can often afford to completely sacrifice your own tower to the Golem to reset the board state.A good player will only drop the Golem when they know your primary punish card is out of rotation.
Killing the Support

The biggest mistake players make is trying to kill the Golem first; the Golem is just a meat shield, the actual damage comes from the Night Witch and Electro Dragon behind it.


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 DoesHow to Stop ItNight 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 spawnsLightning 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

You must fight smart, not hard.


Punish their investments, isolate their tank, and assassinate their support.
