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.

The Golden Rule: Punish the Investment

This is your window of opportunity, and you must exploit it with absolute, ruthless aggression.

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.

• You must play a card that threatens to take the tower.
• If you successfully take their opposite tower during the punish, you can often afford to completely sacrifice your own tower to the Golem to reset the board state.
• A good player will only drop the Golem when they know your primary punish card is out of rotation.

Isolating the Tank and Spacing Defenses

If you fail to punish the Golem drop, or the game is in Double Elixir, you will eventually have to defend a fully supported push at your bridge.

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

The Strategic Victory

Defeating a Golem deck requires absolute discipline and the courage to ignore a massive threat to secure an advantage elsewhere.

Bring down the giant.
