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
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.
Your attacking troops will simply lock onto the massive Golem, completely wasting their damage.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.
Once the support troops cross the river, you instantly drop a 'mini-tank' (like a Valkyrie or Knight) directly on top of them, completely ignoring the Golem.
Beatdown ThreatThe Counter-TacticNight 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
If you panic and try to fight the Golem head-on, you will be crushed under its weight.
Bring down the giant.
