So I got level 6 balloons and level 2 minions. I've seen people do great with level 1 minions but i don't know if it'll work. My question is. What level should my minions be or does it even matter because they're for cleanup? Any advice is appreciated!
It doesn't really matter from past discussions I've read. It does help the higher the level they are, the better they can take on tougher bases.

Oh alright.. Thanks!
same here i use minions in war with balloons and for me there soul purpose is to kill after balloons kill all there def. basically clean up since balloons are slower then anything else.

As long as your balloons destroy all the defenses and there is plenty of time left to destroy everything else, it doesn't matter what level your minions are. Think about that for a minute
Ok, people are a little off-base on their replies here, so I'll say this: the level of minions does matter. Yes, if you take out enough defenses for your minions to get you to 50% without being shot at your minion level doesn't matter that much. The problem is that you won't, at least not always. Whether you're farming or pushing, you will make bad attacks where your balloons don't take out enough defenses for you to cruise to 50%. Heck, I had a recent attack where 20 balloons managed to take out 4 archer towers.
In those situations, the level of your minions matters a lot, since they will have to take out a fair amount of buildings while under fire, and every little bit of damage counts. When I upgraded my minions from level 5-6, I definitely noticed, as, on average, I used fewer spells and had to drop a hero less often, as 49%s turned into 52%s. Does that mean you can't try to balloonion with level 1 minions? No, but it means you should upgrade them as soon as possible.
I have level 5 balloons and level 2 minion and I 100% bases with level 5 air defense. Its all about your strategy I personally go with 2 rage 1 heal
It's not just about strategy.... it depends base building you are attacking... Max balloon + lvl1-2 minions can 100% TH8 and some TH9... if you want to 100% an average TH9, lvl 4+ minions is a must.Originally Posted by KB35
For farming, low level minions are fine up to crystal league 2.

So I'm thinking of startin to use Balloonion in CW's instead of constantly Mass Drag'ing. I'm not looking for a three star but I would be trying to two star. I would mostly be attacking Probably Maxed TH8's or Mid/Little bit of Rushed TH9's. How would I do you think attacking them with max balloons level 2 minions?
Level 6 loons are killer so while minion level matters it is not critical. Start with bases with just 3 Air Defenses level 4 or less and see how you do. Then slowly increase until you no longer are getting high quality wins. Make sure you take out clan castle as archers can mess up your attacks.
