[VIDEOS] Champions League: Balloon / Minion Attack Strategies

http://s10.postimg.org/e40u6mfdl/Loon_Min_Raids.png

Firstly, I'd like to start this by saying a huge thank you to Adamantan for creating a Training School Clan called LOONATIX for fans of the Balloon / Minion Army (see here). It was a pleasure spending the week prior to Forum Elite learning how to get the most out of this army. Special thanks goes to Zach, Mordehai, El Mariachi, Soflov and the other high trophy players that stopped by.

My aim with this thread is to upload and share high level Balloon / Minion attacks to try and share a few of the tips and tricks I learnt during the bootcamp :) Feel free to reply with your own as well.

Each video will comprise of 4 attacks played back at x2 to keep a decent pace, just rewind if things go too quick. Hopefully after watching a few you will start to see a pattern of what types of bases to attack, how to disarm (kill Heroes / CC), how to cripple (quickly taking out Air Defences / Archer Towers etc) then cleaning up with your trusty minions. My aim is to assist and possibly inspire during your Trophy pushes. I've already far exceeded my goals and enjoying this new challenge in-game.

Note: I will update this first post with links to the other videos so check back here.

Regarding the army, it varies slightly depending on what is built or donated however given the choice I always built to the following:

This strategy can be used for both high level farming and high level trophy pushing and should not be overlooked. It can also be far cheaper than other high level troop compositions.

Hope you enjoy!

Yes Stitch! THANK you. I was hoping you would make a compilation video of the great work done in Loonatix. This also makes it unnecessary for me to join you guys to reap the rewards. :p

Man, I wish I could give you some positive reputation. But a certain community manager seems to be busy with other things.

Stitch The Man!

Thanks for the info and your way of teaching that!

Cheers!

I would suggest so, yes. Barch for the early elixer upgrades. If you're in an extreme hurry to farm the lix, you might want to go with hogs if you don't mind the DE drain. I had a terrible time farming elixer by the way. You might want to check out the advice I received here.

Though judging by your GG you're a very solid farmer, so this might not apply to you. Just be warned ;).

Yes, i've been barching around crystal 3 and loot is sporradic. At times it'll be great and others not so much. A big benefit is, while searching, if I ever come across an exposed th i'll snipe it for the loot bonus which pays for 21 more nexts and a small amount of profit in de and elix. Unfortunately, I can't use hogs because they are only level 3 atm. Once I finish the elix upgrades, what range should I go to in order to farm with loons? Thanks for the advice btw.

I recorded some :rolleyes:
