Lava Hound



"The Lava Hound is a majestic flying beast that attacks buildings. The Lava Pups are less majestic angry babies that attack anything.​"

Summary

 * The Lava Hound is unlockable from the P.E.K.K.A's Playhouse (Arena 4).
 * Upon death, it splits into 6 Lava Pups, which have no preferred target and deal more damage than the Lava Hound, but have low hitpoints.
 * It only attacks buildings, has high hitpoints and splits into smaller units, alike the Golem. The exceptions are that the Lava Pups attack anything, and they each deal more DPS than the Lava Hound itself.

Strategy

 * The Lava Hound is a good air-tank with high hitpoints, so it is best used as a meatshield for weaker troops like Minions and Minion Horde.
 * Alike the Golem, the Lava Hound does little damage on its own. Support it with high-damage cards with, idealy, more range than it like the Musketeer.

Trivia

 * The Lava Hound was added to the game on 3/5/16 with the May Update.
 * Since its introduction, it is the first Legendary that a player will be able to obtain, at Arena 4.
 * It functions just like its Clash of Clans counterpart.
 * Among all maximum level troops, the Lava Hound deals the least damage per second, doing only 39 damage per second at level 5.
 * The Lava Hound's Lava Pups have the lowest hitpoints of any card in the game, with only 165 and Level 1.
 * This means that literaly anything can take out a Lava Pup in a single hit, including Spear Goblins.
