Best spells to use with balloons and minions?

I have recently started using the balloons and minions trophy hunting strategy. Im at about 2300 trophies and im a th 9. I am wondering what spells are best to use to help and also when is the best time to place your minions.

Rage! Also wait for balloons to soak up any air bombs

I'm almost master 2 with lvl 3 minions and I use 3 rage 1 lightning or 3 rage 1 heal

I like doing 2 rage a heal and a light

3 rage 1 light

Yes?
10Char

I pack 2 rage 3 lightning but only use a lot of spells on a big loot or whatever. Some people like heals but I think it's better to rage and destroy stuff quicker seeing how slow loons are. There's a couple of different strategies for using loons and minions it depends if you are more concerned about loot or trophies. If you use 16 balloons rest minions it's the quickest and how most are farming. Use the loons as a kind of giant to take all the air bombs etc. then quickly follow with the minions. They're also good for farming this way on an inactive base. Send in a balloon or two and follow with a sweep of minions to clean up mines etc. The other way to use them is more high trophy play where they are more concerned about getting 2 star victories. Pack more balloons, about 24-32 max depending on your camp size. This strat is basically to wipe out all the defence one or two sides clearing to the centre. Sweep one or two sides with loons and rage them. Drop the minions once the balloons have cleared the way. The minions clean up all the other stuff and hopefully the TH. Lightning spells are for CC troops and also if you are on 48% or whatever and need to make up a couple of % for the win.
