I understand, but for someone that is saving for something like archer queen (I'm not as I already hav it) it saves hundreds of dark elixir, but it's a good point! Also if someone has upgraded everything with elixir, and has tons, then this is the strategy, but that's also why I place barb king at start cos he is a shield, also minions if they wander, like 10 of them generally get destroyed by one air bomb, but thanks for your highlight
The only reason I am not a fan of using wizards with balloons, is because you should use minions. Here's why. If you send balloons, and run into air traps and such, the minions can follow behind without fear of more traps. If you start mixing ground troops, then they can get wiped out by springs and giant bombs. Also, should balloons get taken out earlier than expected, minions will have a chance to get the 1 or 2 star. Ground troops may be running into mortars and cannons without balloon help. Then they also have to get through walls. So in my opinion, if the balloons already did the heavy lifting, dont make it any harder...stick to the air raid.
The only ground troops I would keep is a batch of archers and heroes to take out cc troops. I have not run into CC troops (at my raiding level, Gold 2) that I cant take out by isolating cc troops with circle of death.
Hope this helps!
