When constructing a perfectly balanced deck, choosing the correct defensive building is one of the most consequential decisions you will make.

Making the wrong choice will leave a glaring weakness in your roster that experienced opponents will ruthlessly exploit.
Melting the Behemoths
Single-target defenses, such as the Inferno Tower or the Cannon, are designed specifically to deal with massive, high-hitpoint threats.

A single-target tower will waste its massive damage output slowly killing one skeleton at a time, allowing the main enemy tank to slip by completely unharmed.
Have a zap or log ready to clear swarms instantly.Placement is critical against tanks.Beware of enemy stun spells. Area of Effect Buildings
A Bomb Tower placed in the center of the arena can single-handedly stop a massive, ten-elixir swarm push while taking minimal damage.

The trade-off is that these buildings possess incredibly low single-target Damage Per Second (DPS).

If you already run three area-of-effect spells, you probably do not need a splash damage building; take a single-target killer instead.

Do not be afraid to switch your defensive building if you notice a sudden shift in the daily ladder meta.
