Which combo is better?
Dragons obviously, but they cost more. Also, I don't think ANYONE uses balloons after TH 5/6.
Bloons+minions all the way, add one dragon for tanking. There's couple of blooning guides from the link on my signature, if interested.
obviously, you dont know who daddy is.Quote:

But my balloons are lv4. Anything under that is ♥♥♥♥ at higher trophy level as balloons have too little hp and too low damage at lv3 and below.
Dragons and minions sounds like a possibility. Maybe I should try but I need to get those minion lv up first...

Dragons and minions are pretty awesome too. I have someone else in my clan who uses this combo. Dragons are Lvl 3, and minions are Lvl 4.Quote:

Why not use all three (balloons, minions and dragons)? Take a look toward the end of this thread (it started as dragon only then it evolved to balloons and finally with minions).

I used to do 36 balloons and 1 dragon for a raid, but I stopped cuz it was getting boring.
but damage was devastating. and I never had to lightning the AD. I got to 1600 trophies with this army. it only failed twice out of like a 100 times.
so usually, I would send in about 6-9 balloons after each AD. then once they were taken out, I would deploy a couple more balloons. Once enough defense was taken out, I would send in my dragon, and a little later, my barb king to clean up the mess left behind by balloons. if I didn't fail or get a 3-star, then it usually about 97-99% because of time. I would usually end up using only about 24-28 balloons. In fact, one time I only used 10 balloons and a barb king! (but the base was bad)
Balloons are always underestimated. Yes at lower levels, they are bad, but once they're level 4, they TEAR DOWN EVERYTHING! balloons aren't much different from giants. Balloons are slow, yes, but giants have a move speed of 12, balloons have 10. its only 2 less. Balloons do TONS OF DAMAGE! 1 lvl 4 balloon can take about a lvl 8 cannon or so out in 3 hits, or 12 seconds. However, AD and AT can kill them really easily. One or three balloons won't do anything unless you have giants or something else on the bottom as distractions. If balloons were useless, why would Daddy use them? I never underestimated the power of balloons, and that was good. Balloons have they're pros and cons like any other troop!
Pros:
-High Damage
-Mortars and Cannons can't target it.
-A bunch of them will tear down a base.
-Saves you a bunch of troops and elixir on the first few goblin maps.
-Targets Defenses
-At level 6, one balloon can 1-shot lvl 1-4 giants, 2 of them can one-shot any level giant
-Since it doesn't go to the middle of the defense and kill it, it can also damage the other nearby buildings and walls unlike other troops!
-Area Splash
Cons:
- Training Time
- Movement Speed
- Low HP until higher levels
- AD and AT can shoot down very quickly

So basically, balloons are more better and useful than you think. Use a squad of them, and watch the destruction.
