Balloonion advice Guys!

[dave5872]

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?

Look for targets with under-developed wiz towers. Two wars ago, I easily three starred a premmie TH10 using loons b/c his wiz twrs were all lvl 4 and he didn't have an inferno.

I have never not three starred any TH8 using lvl 6 balloons.

You must lure the castle and kill any troops capeable of damaging air units.
You must kill the AQ.
You must make sure your loons have set off all the air bombs before dropping your minions, but don't wait too long to put them down or you will run out of time against a large base.
Other people like rage spells, but I typically heal when they are approaching each wiz tower.

I will just say that minions aren't just "cleanup" crew. You should be using them to provide dps support to your balloons. IMO, level 3+ is critical if you want to take out higher level bases.

Gimme a good combination for a balloon attack

I'm TH9 and have max balloons and Lvl3 minions

Will 20 minions be enough? the rest all balloons?

thx

The level of the minions doesn't matter too much. I get by with lvl 2 minions and lvl 4 Balloons (Town hall lvl 7) quite easily.

I typically use 28 baloons, 30+ minions, 20+ archers (to kill clan castle troops), 4 healing spells, plus 15 minions in my castle.

If the castle is hard to lure, I may use a couple of giants or hogs and reduce the number of minions or archers

If the AQ is in the middle of the base, forget looning. It could take 1/3 of your population space to kill her before you even drop any balloons.

It does matter. The more dps you put on the field the faster you clear defensive structures. Yes L2 minions work but not as well as 4 or 5. To attack high level bases you need L4 or 5 minions minimum or you will fail a lot. If all you are hitting is TH8 and early or premature TH9 you are fine with L2 minions.

Thanks for the info

How do TH9 deal with Inferno? They kills balloon so quick

With lvl 6 bloons and lvl 2 minions TH8 is toast maxed or not. Here's my strat for hitting maxed TH8.

I use 28 bloons 40 minions. 1 drag plus 2 archers 2 wizards in CC. 2 heal 2 rage.

Make sure to lure cc troops if easy with minions if hard with 2-4 bloons or take a couple hogs for doing so. deploy your CC to take out their troops with a 4-6 minions as back up or your heroes if necessary not very common for me I use my heroes as cleanup. Make sure you deploy your cc away from defenses so they aren't fighting cc troops and getting hit by defenses at the same time.

bloons first. I don't spam mine in one spot I spread them out in a line where they will hit multiple defenses. I rage them from the first line of defenses into the second then heal around the wiz towers or wherever defenses are concentrated. you can sandwich bases or use an L shape as well depending on base setup.

Bloons are the tank that takes all the air bombs and air mines so minions run free. Goal is to take out archer and wiz towers at a minimum and minions finish the rest. Against a TH8 base most likely you will have bloons left as part of the clean up crew. You may want to add a couple more bloons at first as you learn how to use them then as you get better go down and add more minions.

TH9 base - pretty much the same attack method just need to see if xbows are set to ground or not, lurability of CC, and location of queen. AQ can blow up your attacks as well as archers/wizards if you dont lure and kill them all. Xbows aren't the end all but they can be pests sometimes. If air defenses are low then drags might be the better bet, if wiz towers are underdeveloped then bloons can teach them a lesson.

Just what I use I'm sure others have some tips.

You should try and kamikaze the clan castle troops instead much more effective do it with a single loon instead of waisting minion spots with archers, this will take out archers & wizards no problem if anything is left just drop a single minion to kill it.


This takes a lot of practice but works so much better.

Also on AQ if she is a low level 1-14 then just attack if she is in the core she isn't a problem.
If over 15 then when you get in close release a few minions ( you should have a rage up by now anyways )

OP,
A single lvl6 balloon can take out a lvl10 archer tower, and wizard tower!
practice two/three/four finger drops if you master this and kamikaze you will do much better raiding in general and using balloons in clan wars.

CW most bases are anti hog these days best bases for three finger balloon drops
