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.
The Mechanics of the Air Push
Because the opponent's Musketeer or Wizard is already locked onto the massive 7-elixir Lava Hound, they completely ignore the 5-elixir Balloon flying right past them.

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.
LavaLoon relies heavily on 'Spell Synergy'.Send him to the tower exactly as the Lava Hound pops to tank for the fragile Lava Pups.You will often trade towers in the first two minutes. Surviving the Counter-Attack
The absolute hardest part of playing LavaLoon is surviving the ground phase of the game, especially against fast Cycle or Bridge Spam decks.

The Tombstone is the unsung hero of the LavaLoon deck; placed centrally, it pulls all ground-targeting units (like Hog Riders and Giants) into the middle of the map.
LavaLoon PhaseExecutionThe MistakeSingle Elixir (First 2 Mins)Play Tombstone defensively, use Mega Minion to defend, only play Lava Hound if you have a massive elixir advantagePlaying the Hound first, instantly losing the opposite tower to a fast rush, and having no elixir to support the HoundDouble Elixir (Final Minute)Drop the Hound in the back, support it with Balloon and spells, completely ignore minor damage to your own towersPanicking and using your Lightning spell defensively instead of saving it to destroy their anti-air The Unstoppable Force
You are trading early ground vulnerability for late-game aerial invincibility.

Take to the skies, weather the ground assault, and drop the bombs.
