    I think I got it for now with everyone's advice. Just one more thing. Spells. 3 rage 1 heal? 2 rage 2 heal?

    Haha I meant try both spell combos in matchmaking before using in clan wars. I prefer 2 & 2. If you want more help I can come over and use your attacks for you.

    First, great tip on using one loon to kamikaze CC troops, that wasn't something I'd thought of trying but definitely will now!

    Second, when you mention multi-finger drops, can you go more into that? I've gotten good at using two fingers when BARCHing to deploy lines of barbs and archers on two sides of a base at once, but in reference to loons and using 3-4 fingers, are you still releasing all on the same side just using multiple fingers and sliding back and forth in a line? Thanks!

    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.
    I raided a base with max loons that is sure to be 3 star....after all the defenses were taken out , the whole bunch of balloons proceed to attack the Barb King! Which....was a serious mistake....the BK just went round and round, like a security guard, the balloons couldnt catch up with him! Every time the loons drop a bomb, the BK moved...escaping it...it was quite funny watching....in the end, some minions helped out...but it was too late...98% only.

    Yes, when you are against time..and every second count....you always wish you have the best troops to 3 star it.

    It's a sliding scale. The best combo is clearly lvl 6 loons n lvl 6 mins (which is what I use). Can you do it with lvl 2 mins? of course you can, but your ability to farm/push/war will be reduced.

    The best advice is to try it in regular raiding before doing it in CW. Work out what you can/can't get stars on beforehand. My first attempt at gowipe was since the recent update (yes I got to TH10 and never used it), and I did it in CW - that didn't end well......

    General advice for loons is watch out for the cc - wizards/drags make quick work of loons, as does the AQ now she is difficult to lure. At lvl 2 you mins might struggle a bit to take these out (obviously you don't have to use mins to do it).

    Loons bunch around defences - this makes wizard towers very effective on defence.

    Keep an eye on the AD. Their lack of splash damage means they can be easily rolled by a group of loons, but they are great at picking off the final couple of stragglers.

    Edit - Just saw your question on spells - At TH9 I used 3 rage and one zap. At TH10 I used 3 rage, 1 zap and 1 freeze/heal.

    Some people swear by having more heals - try a few combos and see what you have most success with.

    I made a youtube video and this is what I put in the description. "As a th7, I recommend using 20 minions and the rest balloons. The best way to use this strategy is to use the balloons as a meat shield and drop the minions behind to pick off all the other buildings. The main buildings you have to worry about are air defenses and and wizard towers. I recommend using 1 heal spell and 2 rage spells. Make sure to drop the rage spells in front of where the balloons will go. Any questions please comment. It is a great way to get loot or trophy push."

    My minions are level 1 and balloons are level 3
