How to use Loonions?

So I've recently decided to farm for DE, I am TH9 and I will be farming at 1900-2100 trophies. I've seen many videos if people using balloons and minions and it works really well, but for a farming army, surely that takes too long? Any advice from experienced
Loonions will be appreciated :)

Anyone? :)

Max 24 bloons, rest minions. ( you can use some barbs or WBs to lure queen )

That takes too long to train for a farming army though surely? And the minions must cost a bit

No its not bad since 40 minons at lvl 5 is 400 de, Normally you will get about 1-2k in the 2100 troph range. Total time is 47mins for 24 loons and 40 minons.

Yeah,this strategy it's actually really work. And don't forget to use either healing or rage spell. Those will be a big help on your raid.

Is it not better to take out an air defence with lightning spells?

47 mins seems like a big time to me.
I've saved up 1100 gems from debris and achievements, so maybe I could boost?

If you have that many gems I recommend buying a week sheild and boosting your pumps, you get so much more.
