Balloon

"As pretty as they are, you won't want a parade of THESE balloons showing up on the horizon. Drops powerful bombs and when shot down, crashes dealing area damage."

Summary

 * This card is unlockable from the Bone Pit (Arena 2).
 * A powerful troop that, as in Clash of Clans, targets Buildings, such as Crown Towers. It deals a high amount of damage with its explosives, and when it is destroyed, the Balloon releases a large bomb from underneath, that deals damage in an AoE (Area of Effect) to Buildings or troops in the explosion radius.

Strategy

 * The Balloon is most effectively used for destroying Towers, because of its high damage, coupled with the Freeze spell.
 * When an opposing Balloon spawns, destroy it as fast as you can. Its high damage can be punishing when it reaches your Buildings.
 * Minions are very effective at taking out Balloons, as their fast movement speed allows them to reach the Balloon quicker and deal more damage.
 * Balloons can be distracted by deploying Buildings, e.g the Inferno Tower (which can destroy the Balloon) and the Barbarian Hut.
 * Like the Giant Skeleton, it can also be used as bait for enemy ranged troops that can target the Balloon, as when it is destroyed, it drops a bomb that deals Area Damage.

Trivia

 * The description is a reference to the popular Clash of Clans commercial, Balloon Parade. Balloon Bomb Tip.jpg
