The Tesla is arguably the best anti-air building.Use Tornado to pull flying units.Zap or Snowball can instantly kill Bats or severely injure Minions, giving your tower time to finish them off.
Building the Anti-Air Package
<br>A mathematically sound deck requires at least two reliable anti-air units and one spell capable of hitting air targets.<br>
<br>If you are playing a heavy Beatdown deck, you must also include 'Splash Anti-Air' (Baby Dragon, Electro Dragon, Executioner).<br>
