Is it just me, or are flying units really not viable?

Dragons and Healers used to be dominant forces -- no longer the case, thanks to all the new air defenses.

A blend of Golems/Pekks/Lev 6 Troops is the way to go, now...

It depends on who you are attacking and what you want your outcome to be... When I am going for cups, I still use dragon/archer combo, but I add a few minions to draw out mines and things. 3 lightening spells take out one air defense and then throw a rage on them and you will be fine. My balloons are still level 1. haha. Hate those things... though I may have to re-evaluate with their new power.

I only use balloons because they are good against cannons. New feature of damage when shot down just about useless. Only works if like one shot from an archer would kill the defense.
