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 theFreeze spell.
• When an opposing Balloon spawns, destroy it as fast as you can. Its high damage can be punishing if 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.
• The Balloon's death damage, regardless of level, is half of its DPS and 1/6 of its damage per hit.
• The Balloon's card image is the barracks image of the Balloon in Clash of Clans, except for the reskinned envelope.
• Unlike its counterpart in Clash of Clans, the Balloon attacks instantly once it reaches a building.
