If the Golem is the undisputed king of ground-based Beatdown, the 'LavaLoon' combination is the terrifying, uncontested emperor of the skies.
You must learn to absorb massive amounts of damage without panicking, trusting that your unstoppable aerial armada will eventually crush their base.
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.
Furthermore, when the Lava Hound finally dies, it 'pops' into a swarm of six fiery Lava Pups.
- A perfectly timed Lightning spell will instantly destroy the opponent's Inferno Tower and Musketeer, clearing the path.
- The 'Miner' is a fantastic secondary win condition for this deck.
- If they rush the opposite lane, let the tower fall; use your elixir to ensure your LavaLoon takes their tower instead.
Surviving the Counter-Attack
You must rely entirely on cheap 'distraction' units, like the Tombstone or Guards, to kite and stall enemy ground threats.
While the enemy is busy fighting the skeletons spawned by the Tombstone, your Mega Minion can safely kill them from the air.
| The Threat | The Solution |
|---|---|
| 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 air belongs to the Hound.
