Inferno Towers While Raiding?

Hi forum

I'm on a push to Masters as a TH 8 right now and I'm starting to see more and more Inferno Towers with barely any TH 9/10s without Inferno Towers. How much should I be "worried" about Infernos when I attack? I've never had to deal with them before, so I've been trying to avoid them altogether, but I feel like that's not going to be possible at some point here. I also have been using Heal Spells while raiding, and the Multi-mode Infernos block the healing, so that's an even bigger problem.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Using Balloonion to raid if it matters (don't tell me to use something else, I'm not going to snipe or use barch/bam).

Sorry but you wont make it to masters UNLESS you have godlike patience. I can tell you at crystal one with lv 5 balloons it will probably take you days if not weeks to reach masters. The dearth of th8 loonable bases will also be compounded by the fact unless someone snipes you are going to lose 25+ trophies on defense. I wouldnt waste time by building a long army and would just barch up there or use mass dragons on a wider array of bases ((Essentially a guaranteed 10 trophies if you search enough (less of a search time than snipes or lv5 balloons) ))

Inferno is a worry because it makes quick work of powerful troops when in Single-Target mode and makes quick work of, well, all troops in Multi-Target mode.

I shouldn't take more than a week if you are active (personal break) and boosting, but if not it should take two.

The drop off from lv 6 balloons to 6 is probably the steepest of any troop unless he uses 30+ balloons i don't see how he takes out the lv 10 and 11 archer tower/ air defense, archer tower/ wizard tower combos. He also has only 2 rage spells since he has to bring a lightning for cc troops and only 1 hero. That might to too much to overcome.

Ok, wasting an entire spell to take out cc troops when you're using "surgical" balloonion is nonsense. Use a balloon (maybe 2 if they're level 5) to take out cc troops or, if that's too tough, some minions.

Back to the OP's question, assuming you're just going for 50% (which you should be), you can safely ignore infernos as long as they're centralized (read: as long as they will never fire on you). This should be quite helpful, as there are a bunch of premature th 10s in crystal with centralized infernos and not much else in terms of defenses.

Masters is for kids, anyone can do it. I did it with lvl2 hogs and sometimes balloonions.
You can attack bases with inferno towers as long as you don't get in theyr range. Just attack all the corners with balloons and minions, all rage no heal. You should easy get 50%.

Thanks guys. All that is a big help.

One more question, then, with lvl 5 balloons how should I be doing the "surgical" looning? It seems if I split up my loons, they die very quickly and I don't have a chance at getting 50%. I haven't tried the surgical looning yet, but I'll give it a shot. If not, might switch over to mass drags if I can find a way to pay for it.

Edit: Also, any suggestions for composition? Been using 24 loons and 40 Minions but I feel like 24 loons won't be enough.

This is a pretty good video guide. I would suggest adding 2 loons to the specific number per defense. You dont need many minions truthfully 30 loons seem like it would be okay.
