Balloons

[DaveOThree]

I generally make 12-16 balloons, 12-16 giants, 8-12 wall breakers, and for the few leftover spots, I use some archers, minions, goblins.

Giants and wall breakers at the air defenses, then when all three air defenses are down. I launch clusters of balloons at the wizards first.

12 ballons with 80 minions, i prefer to deploy the 12 ballons in a line with a rage and then send the minions right behind.

I use three dragons in place of the balloons and 45-50 minions and the rest archers.

I would incorporate dragons and minions with balloons. I have L4 balloons, L2 dragons and L2 minions and have done quite well in getting gold/DE and trophy push. I will use balloons to attack AD while I use minions and dragons as shield for them. There are other suggestions from others in this thread on what started as a dragon army to use other flying (and non-flying) troops.

Dont use ballons only! You need to pair em up with some wizards, dragons, minions, archers or healers
1. Balloon-dragon stretegy: use 1-2 dragons to take out the air defenses, while the air defense are having a fun time shoting dragons down, deploy some balloons to take out defenses the dragons should by the time have destroyed the air defense and use em now as tanks and Meat shields you might wanna deploy something else to help destroying the last bit of the base(archers or minions)
2. Balloon-wizard-healer strategy: deploy wizards first to take non-defensive buildings and air defense then deploy the healer to support them and lastly use balloons
3. Balloons and minions strategy: probally the best one, use the minions to lure the troops in the clan castle and take out most buildings(the air defense is going to have fun while taking all those minions down) and while minions take all of the defenses attention deploy ur ballons

I might have to try 1.

It used to be that you can draw a circle around a base with balloons and it's a guarantee 3-star - but those days are no more. You really need to be careful about which base you attack with balloons, how you deploy it them, and backup from dragons/minions help a ton.

Just this morning someone sent 36 balloons at my base, thinking it'd be easy win since both xbows and one AD are down - but a single dragon from the CC took them all out before they got very far since there were no air-support whatsoever.
