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.
The Golden Rule: Kill the Support First
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.
Alternatively, a perfectly timed heavy spell like a Fireball or Poison can instantly vaporize the support units while simultaneously damaging the tank.
Never let a Battle Healer continuously strike a target.Patience is key.Understand shield mechanics.
The Cheese Pushes
A cloned healer essentially doubles the healing output, turning the surrounding army into a literal immortal wall of hitpoints.
The definitive counter to any Clone strategy is a cheap, instant-cast splash spell like the Log, Zap, or Snowball.

Staying Calm
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.
