I'm a th7 I was wondering if balloonion was a good and successful attack strategy for a th7. With balloons lvl 4 and minions lvl 2 is it good to use balloonion or are they too weak?

I've never had much luck with balloons when I was a TH7. Once in a while and on the right base where the air defenses were at the edge and underdeveloped. And this was with maxed (for TH7) balloons. Too expensive for farming, that's for sure. Whenever I wanted to revenge someone that had a lot of loot, we're talking 200k+ each, I'd use a lv3 dragon army; 6 dragons and enough ground troops to take out everything in front of the walls that will distract the dragons from going inside the village.
I recommend at least balloons lvl 5 and minions lvl 3 for a reliable balloonion attack.
Balloonion isn't really viable untill TH 9 because there's a huge difference between lvl 5 and 6. Level 5 balloons may barely work but lvl 4 won't for sure. Minions should be at least lvl 3-4
I once used ballonian with level 4 loons and level 1 minions.
Regretted.
Air mines are gonna rekt your loons.
If you have a plan to take out the Air Defenses then yeah, it'll definitely 3 star the base but if not then pull out your dragons..Quote:

Balloonion is doable at th 7,but it is hard.I once tried balloonion and my cc saved me in that attack.A bit better strategy (still pretty risky and requires good skill) is to put at least 3 dragons and 20 archers.Archers would clean up some trash buildings on the outside,dragons would go inside the base and they would serve as a meat shield for balloons that get rid of defenses,while minions clear up the rest of the base.I used this strategy with level 3 balloons,level 1 dragons,level 4 archers and level 1 minions.Still pretty hard,but with lot of practice you can do miracles.Also,bring a heal with 2 rage.Rage to help your balloons get key defenses quicker and heal to help at least some of the balloons that get hit by air bomb or wizard tower.I don't recommend just balloons and minions until town hall 9 since balloons will be exposed too much
No, because you are wasting precious dark elixir. Get your barb king and upgrade him instead of upgrading dark troop. Upgrading dark troops can wait until late th 8 :)
Sure balloonian works at th7 vs other weaker th7 with exposed wiztower (balloons enemy) or th6 and easy to get AirDef. Max AD and protected wiztower is going to be problems. A better th7 strategy is 3-6 dragons, 5-10 minions rest balloons. Learn troop ai pathing so that you can deploy properly. Drop a dragon so that it draws fire from AD & wiztower, drop 5-6 balloons behind it, repeat at other ad/wiztower and the rest of your balloons on your archer towers. You can either zap 1 high level AD, bring heal rage or all rage. Balloons/dragons love rage but heal can keep the weak lvl4 loons alive long enough to reach that AD which will otherwise kill the dragons.
Use minions if with the rage if dragloon is in trouble otherwise save the minions, maybe 1 or 2 to cleanup.
I use this alot as barching is boring and it is a good army composition for war so it is fun to practice. I usuallly don't have to use more than 5 minions and if successful it's an easy 3 star.
