Balloonion army troop level

[Dpino]

I want to use the balloonion strategy, but what level do I need the balloons and minions to be at for this to be effective?

loons need to be atleast lvl 5 IMO, and minions 3/4 up

edit: loons needs the extra hitpoints to survive AT, WT and AD

I do fine with lv 4 loons and lv 1 minions

[nikkisixx101]

loons need to be max for you'r th lvl. 4, 5 or 6. whatever. just max em and they are fine for attacking an even lvl'd village.

while not necesary to have maxed minions it certainly helps.

I'm a TH8, what spells should I use? 3 Lightnings to take out a hard to reach air defense? Or a combination of rage and healing spells?

[comfypanda]

every upgrade to balloon is pretty huge so i would take it at all chances.

I would go with a mix of rage and healing spells. healing spells are good for when your balloons like to hover over around wizard towers in a clump. I don't recommend three lightning spells because the point of having the minions is so they can take some of the fire of the defense.

though, i dont know if you should be using balloons at TH8. The TH9 upgrade to balloons is HUGE, and without it they can die pretty quickly.

I would say level 5 loons is the BARE minimum. Minion level doesn't really matter unless you attack town hall 9+ bases.

I'm a TH8 and I have maxed out loons & minions. I wouldn't recommend this strategy unless you have at least level 5 loons and about level 3 minions. Usually, well depending if I'm pushing or farming, I use 2 rage and 1 heal (all level 4) but sometimes I just like to bring along all heal.

Are you thinking of using this for pushing or farming?

[FFP]

I don't recommend L4 and below loons either. I tried it against an early TH8 with 3 L4 WT and 3 L3 AA and I just scraped a win. I think WTs are the killer against balloons, not the AA so they are priority targets.

Loon shine only if they're maxed

Using loon while their colors still red is waste of time.
