This strategy completely bypasses traditional ground defenses, rendering enemy Cannons, Bomb Towers, and ground-melee troops completely useless.
You must learn to absorb massive amounts of damage without panicking, trusting that your unstoppable aerial armada will eventually crush their base.
How LavaLoon Works
As the Hound approaches the river, you drop the Balloon directly behind it, slightly closer to the outer edge of the map.
Furthermore, when the Lava Hound finally dies, it 'pops' into a swarm of six fiery Lava Pups.
- LavaLoon relies heavily on 'Spell Synergy'.
- The 'Miner' is a fantastic secondary win condition for this deck.
- You will often trade towers in the first two minutes.
Surviving the Counter-Attack
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.
You must become incredibly comfortable with your Princess towers taking damage; if your tower is at 1000 health, you must remain calm and focus on building your final, unstoppable air push in double elixir.
| Enemy Anti-Air Defense | Your Counter-Play |
|---|---|
| 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
You are trading early ground vulnerability for late-game aerial invincibility.
The ground is for peasants.
