Honestly blame it on the update. prior to this they were hogging th8 and now they just bloon th8. Pretty much the same results 3 star 100%.
I bloon th8 all the time nothing they can do about it.
Hogs were easier to defend against
When I was a TH9, and on my TH9 mini I always train a balloonion army if I am going to be away from the game for an hour or two.
The fact is that looting TH8's with baloonion is like taking candy from a baby. TH8's can offer 270K of each plus collectors to a TH9 and there is really absolutely anything a TH8 can do to stop a properly leveled baloonion attack.
This works especially well later in TH9 when elixir becomes more like a curse on your base and you struggle to find ways to get rid of the pink stuff. Converting your useless elixir into gold and DE is a great trade off.
If they have lvl 6 balloons all you can do is max your wiz twrs, have wizards in a difficult to lure clan castle, cross your fingers, and hope the attacker does something stupid.
Does a dragon in the CC help defend against this kind of attack?
Yes dragon or wizards will help if attacker does not lure cc prior to releasing all their globes.
Dragons and wizards can slow a poorly played attack, but L6 loons and L5+ minions will roll a TH 8 base every time without spells. Keep your AD maxed and central and be a small target, ie spend your resources quickly.
