Your defensive structure acts as the anchor of your entire strategy, dictating exactly what types of enemy pushes you can comfortably survive.

If you bring a single-target tower to a match against a swarm-heavy bait deck, you will be utterly annihilated.
High DPS Defenses
Their primary function is to lock onto an enemy Giant, Golem, or P.E.K.K.A and shred its health pool before it reaches your princess tower.

These buildings are absolutely mandatory if the current competitive meta is heavily dominated by slow, expensive 'beatdown' decks.
The Cannon is a cheap, fast-cycling alternative to heavy towers.Wait until the enemy tank crosses the river.Don't let the tank connect. Clearing the Horde
Conversely, splash damage buildings, such as the Bomb Tower, are designed to obliterate massive groups of low-hitpoint enemies instantly.

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.
