If left unchecked, a single dedicated healer can provide thousands of points of 'free' hitpoints to an attacking push, making it virtually unstoppable.

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
You must find a way to bypass the massive meat shield in front and deliver high burst damage directly to the fragile healer in the back.

Deploy your assassin directly behind the enemy push, ensuring it locks onto the healer before the tank can turn around to protect it.
Use it to physically pull the healer away from the tank she is trying to heal.Splash damage units are decent, but often lack the burst damage required.Track their elixir carefully. Dealing with Clone and Rage Synergy
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.

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.
