While tanks set the tempo by leading the way, you’ll need to stack up some other options to back you up. Other units, such as Baroness or the Steel Battalion, can add extra DPS or single target damage to your squad.

Don’t waste your tank’s protection and use your other units to blast through the fortress in front of you.

Take out the most dangerous buildings as soon as possible. Artillery, Rocket Salvos, and Sea Lasers are all particularly nasty threats to attackers when left untouched. If you happen to bring airborne attackers then you’ll also need to take a close look at missile turrets. All of these can be quickly dispatched if you have a keen eye and they are not well defended. In order to take them down quickly, you can utilize a well placed Command Card or Lead Command to decimate the most imposing base bound threats.

Command Cards?

Command Cards are particular special abilities that allow you a leg up in battle. The goal of the defending party is to make life as difficult as possible for you. Command Cards can simply prevent them from operating if used wisely. Drop an EMP Blast into a cluster of buildings to disable them temporarily while you destroy them, or launch a Smoke Bombardment and move your army into the area to hide them in a cloud of smoke while you dismantle your opponent’s defenses. These area of effect Command Cards can completely change the outcome of battle when used effectively.

Lead Wisely

Roadblock might seem like the sensible choice to take into battle but other leaders have their own abilities too. Scarlett can temporarily take control of an opponent’s turret so it turns and fires on its own base. If you are all out of Command Cards then this could be crucial to getting past an enemy’s defenses. Duke can call down air support to heal and increase the damage of your army, while Snake Eyes can call on his wolf, Timber, to damage and stun buildings. Each of these leaders brings a different style of gameplay. Use their abilities to support the type of troops you have on hand.
