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.

Building the Armada

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.

While the Hound slowly dies, the Balloon reaches the tower completely untouched and drops a bomb that instantly erases half the tower's health.

• LavaLoon relies heavily on 'Spell Synergy'.
• 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

The absolute hardest part of playing LavaLoon is surviving the ground phase of the game, especially against fast Cycle or Bridge Spam decks.

While the enemy is busy fighting the skeletons spawned by the Tombstone, your Mega Minion can safely kill them from the air.

Ruling the Skies

Mastering LavaLoon requires a fundamental shift in how you view tower health and resource management.

The air belongs to the Hound.
