What Does Giant Do?

Giant is a ground-only troop that ignores enemy troops entirely, walking straight for the nearest building. His very high hitpoints let him tank an enormous amount of damage before falling.

Because he never fights back against troops directly, his real value comes from what he protects - support cards deployed behind him that can clear defenders while the Giant soaks up all the hits.

Where Giant Fits

Giant is one of the most classic beatdown win conditions - typically paired with ranged or splash support behind him, using his tankiness to buy time for those cards to clear the way to the tower.

How to Counter Giant

Since he never fights back, high sustained damage - like Inferno Tower or Inferno Dragon - can eliminate him efficiently, while swarms can overwhelm any support troops trying to protect him.
