Balloon

Balloons are slow moving aerial units that do devastating amounts of splash damage to ground targets. Balloons, like giants, target defensive structures first.

Strategy

 * It would be advisable to destroy all air defenses such as archer towers, wizard towers, and air defenses before deploying balloons. Also beware of the clan castle. Archers hiding in a clan castle will make short work of balloons as well.
 * Really useful in the Single Player Campaign. Simply destroy all of the air defenses, archer towers, and wizard towers and deploy a single balloon. It will destroy every building. With a Single Player Campaign, there is no time limit, so one unthreatened balloon will eventally destroy every building.
 * When raiding other players, time is limited, so make sure you take out all the air defenses fast, and send in multiple balloons.
 * Groups of 5 balloons or more can usually overwhelm an archer tower. I suggest using 9.

Trivia

 * Balloons are what appear to be wall breaker units flying.
 * Balloons are the slowest moving troops.
 * Bombs are very vulnerable to Wizard Towers
 * If time runs out while you are raiding with balloons, and if a balloon drops a bomb as the time runs out, the bomb will fall into the ground and dissappear.
