help getting to champs

Clicking next is better than losing -30.

^ this is the best tip there is. Next is your friend. Never ever attack a base unless you are 100% certain you can get at least 1 star. There shouldn't be a shadow of doubt in your mind. If you make a mistake and lose loads of trophies it can be crushing. The normal reaction is to get frustrated and rush into another iffy attack. Dont. Relax take your time and next to another dead cert.

Lavaloonian worked for me, using 2 hounds 22 loons and 25 minions with loons in the cc with 2 rage 2 heal. If I had minions ten I'd make an extra 2 loons to compensate. You should be looking for bases with infernos on single target, preferably away from the air defenses you want to go in on. Unless it's an extremely easy base avoid max air defenses, and aim for bases with 2 air defenses close together. Using 3 loons at leas for drawing or checking cc troops is a must, having a wizard wreck your army isn't fun. If you can, try and get the queen to stand on a defense when your loons bomb it to take her our efficiently, either that or swarm her with minions or go in on the other side to avoid her.

If you want to hit multi target infernos make sure they're either a low lvl or the base is spread out so your loons don't go near them except for under a rage. Generally your heroes should be saved for last for getting that last few % if you messed up, or making a push for the th if it wasn't quite an optimal raid, but still pretty good. If you have a bunch of gems saved up, then have your spell factory on boost or it will take a year. Should only cost you 100-200 gems in total to get to champ this way.

As someone said, put your th out, the chances of getting a defense just isn't worth it, and you also save a bunch of loot which is important.

Good luck
