For many casual players, seeing the opponent casually drop a massive, 8-elixir Golem in the absolute back of the arena induces a feeling of sheer, paralyzing dread.
However, the strategy has massive, glaring weaknesses in its early stages that can be brutally exploited.
Opposite Lane Pressure
This is your window of opportunity, and you must exploit it with absolute, ruthless aggression.
Because they only have 2 elixir, they cannot defend your opposite-lane push effectively.
- 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.
| The Problem | Your Defense |
|---|---|
| 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 |
Do Not Fear the Rock
Defeating a Golem deck requires absolute discipline and the courage to ignore a massive threat to secure an advantage elsewhere.
Punish their investments, isolate their tank, and assassinate their support.
