This strategy completely bypasses traditional ground defenses, rendering enemy Cannons, Bomb Towers, and ground-melee troops completely useless.
However, playing LavaLoon effectively requires an incredibly specific mindset; you are abandoning the ground war entirely, which leaves your towers highly vulnerable to fast rushes.
How LavaLoon Works
The core execution of the LavaLoon strategy is deceptively simple: you deploy the Lava Hound in the back corner of the arena to absorb all incoming anti-air fire.
Furthermore, when the Lava Hound finally dies, it ‘pops’ into a swarm of six fiery Lava Pups.
You must place the Balloon so it physically pushes the slow-moving Lava Hound forward, accelerating the entire push.
Never play the Lava Hound if you are down on elixir in the first two minutes.
The single biggest counter to LavaLoon is the Minion Horde; Arrows will instantly clear the sky for your Balloon.
The Painful Ground Defense
You must rely entirely on cheap ‘distraction’ units, like the Tombstone or Guards, to kite and stall enemy ground threats.
While the enemy is busy fighting the skeletons spawned by the Tombstone, your Mega Minion can safely kill them from the air.
What Stops You
How to Break Through
Inferno Tower (Melts the Lava Hound instantly)
Use a Zap spell to reset the damage beam, or use Lightning to severely damage the building and stun it
Executioner + Tornado Combo
Do not clump your Balloon directly behind the Hound; space them out significantly so the Tornado cannot group them
The Aerial Victory
When you perfectly execute the combo and watch the opponent’s anti-air defenses completely fail, you will understand the true power of the archetype.
Take to the skies, weather the ground assault, and drop the bombs.
