If the Golem is the undisputed king of ground-based Beatdown, the ‘LavaLoon’ combination is the terrifying, uncontested emperor of the skies.
This guide dissects the mechanics, timing, and defensive sacrifices required to master the ultimate air attack.
How LavaLoon Works
As the Hound approaches the river, you drop the Balloon directly behind it, slightly closer to the outer edge of the map.
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.
- 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.
- You will often trade towers in the first two minutes.
Sacrificing the Ground
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.
| What Stops You | Your Counter-Play |
|---|---|
| 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 |
Ruling the Skies
Mastering LavaLoon requires a fundamental shift in how you view tower health and resource management.
The air belongs to the Hound.
