There are few things more demoralizing in an arena battler than watching your opponent's massive tank completely regenerate its health bar.
Many novice players make the fatal error of focusing all their defensive damage on the massive tank, ignoring the tiny support unit standing behind it.
Assassinating the Backline
The cardinal rule when facing a healing or shielding composition is to completely ignore the primary tank until the support is dead.
Deploy your assassin directly behind the enemy push, ensuring it locks onto the healer before the tank can turn around to protect it.
She heals her entire aura with every swing.Wait for the support to cross the bridge before dropping your assassin.Use spells to break shields before applying massive damage.
Countering the Gimmicks
When you see these combinations forming, you must react with absolute split-second precision, or you will lose your tower in seconds.
The definitive counter to any Clone strategy is a cheap, instant-cast splash spell like the Log, Zap, or Snowball.

Staying Calm
Facing a massive, regenerating 'Elixir Golem' or 'Golem' push is one of the most stressful experiences in the game.
Once you learn to surgically remove the support structure of an enemy push, the most terrifying meta decks become trivial to defend.
