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
As the Hound approaches the river, you drop the Balloon directly behind it, slightly closer to the outer edge of the map.

Furthermore, when the Lava Hound finally dies, it 'pops' into a swarm of six fiery Lava Pups.
You must place the Balloon so it physically pushes the slow-moving Lava Hound forward, accelerating the entire push.It is a 7-elixir investment that deals almost zero damage by itself.The single biggest counter to LavaLoon is the Minion Horde; Arrows will instantly clear the sky for your Balloon. Surviving the Counter-Attack
Because your deck is filled with expensive, flying units, you have very few cheap, sturdy ground troops to stop an incoming Elite Barbarian or Battle Ram rush.

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 PhaseWhat to DoThe DangerSingle 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 Aerial Victory
Mastering LavaLoon requires a fundamental shift in how you view tower health and resource management.

The ground is for peasants.
