If the Golem is the undisputed king of ground-based Beatdown, the 'LavaLoon' combination is the terrifying, uncontested emperor of the skies.
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.
Building the Armada
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.
If the opponent has already used their Zap or Arrows, these Pups will deal massive swarm damage to the tower, perfectly complementing the Balloon's heavy single hits.
- A perfectly timed Lightning spell will instantly destroy the opponent's Inferno Tower and Musketeer, clearing the path.
- Send him to the tower exactly as the Lava Hound pops to tank for the fragile Lava Pups.
- If they rush the opposite lane, let the tower fall; use your elixir to ensure your LavaLoon takes their tower instead.
The Painful Ground Defense
Because your deck is filled with expensive, flying units, you have very few cheap, sturdy ground troops to stop an incoming Elite Barbarian or Battle Ram rush.
While the enemy is busy fighting the skeletons spawned by the Tombstone, your Mega Minion can safely kill them from the air.
| The Threat | 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 Unstoppable Force
You are trading early ground vulnerability for late-game aerial invincibility.
The ground is for peasants.
