With max TH8 troops? Sure. But with level 4 loons and level 1 minions, you're not going to get anywhere attacking other TH8s, I don't think. I have enough trouble using the strat with level 4 loons and level 3 minions.
You definitely need to max those and it will be tough to attack TH9's as loons get a huge stat increase at level 6 and I can consistently get 75% on high level TH9's with them but I doubt that the level 5 loons would pack that much of a punch.
Once you get to lvl 5 loons you will be okay. Look for weak Air Defense or TH 7. Start with only Air Defense 3 and then when you are comfortable go after AD 4. Also look for AD near the edge. Only attack when there is 150 k elixir unless you are flowing. Never attack when Inferno is lit up and try to avoid Xbows facing up. Finally, lure the Clan Castle. It's a great strategy for work when you can only raid every hour.
I would try the gold leagues and find your sweet spot. Upgrade your baloons and minions and you should be able to handle TH8s whose wizard towers are are few upgrades behind. Don't try it with purple wiz towers using lvl 5 baloons. You will also need a healing spell for each wiz tower. I assume you understand the importance of clan troop killing with loons.
Sounds good. Mainly cuz i work lol. But i need to max out my Loons and Minons.Quote:

Minions level one will be adequate. I used them mainly to take out storages, mine and collectors.
I stay away from dark purple wiz towers and seem to be okay. I also use rage when necessary around Air defense.
What is Balloons:minion ratio?
I use 24 loons, 30 minions, 20 archers for CC and 3 rages. I try to not use rage and rarely use more than one. Important to remember that the next button is your best friend and never attack a base that does not meet your predefined standard no matter how frustrating is the search for good loot.
Would you say it could work with level five bloons and level two mins?Quote:

Very viable for any Town Hall 7, most Town Hall 8s with weak Air Defense, and premie TH 9/10s. I was in Crystal 2 with level 5 loons and level 3 minions, easily 3 starring and 2 starring people. Level 4 loons just won't work out though, maybe on a Town Hall 7 but you're pushing it with 8. I used 24 loons and 40 minions, and tried to get minions or loons in castle.
Yes. Minions are more of a clean up crew than anything, but level 3+ would be desirable.Quote:

Upgrading balloons from level 5 to level 6 adds much more than upgrading from any other level to the next level. So if you really want to get the most out of using balloonions, you may want to consider waiting until level 6 for the balloons.
It absolutely is! I do it all the time and am successful on th9 and th8s. Just max your troops and your rage spell and you'll be good
We have a TH 8 in our clan that uses the Balloonion with Lev 5 loons and level 3 minions and it works great for him against TH 7's and TH 8's. Seems to be a little tough on maxed 8's though.
Yes, once you get level 5 balloons it is very viable. I've seen it done in M3, but it takes a TON more skill than with lvl 6 balloons.
loons at lvl 5 are fine. it is NOT TRUE you need to wait for lvl 6 to use them. i cant stand hearing that over and over. how the heck is lvl 5 loons attacking a th8 different from lvl 6 attacking a th9. sure lvl 6 loons are alot better but th9 has WAY more air d then a th8. with upgrades the extra wizards tower, air d and TWO more air missiles.
if you'r loons are maxed for you'r th lvl and you stick to attacking that th lvl or lower, you are fine. the only thing with loons is they are very unforgiving if you attack a th higher then you. so if you do make sure it is premmie.
with loonion the loon lvl is much more important then the minion lvl. but higher the minions the better for sure. I used loonion at th7 with lvl 4 and lvl 1 but i learned not to attack th's above 7.
it's a great strat, especially for farming DE.
