Best attack strategies with Balloon for TH 13 in Clash of Clans

When players reach TH 13 in Clash of Clans, they will have unlocked most of what the game offers. As the levels get higher, raids become more challenging and gruesome. This means players have to develop attack strategies to evolve with this transition. Most attack strategies, like Queen Walk, Lava Loon, and Blizzard, are centered on one or two main troops and other support units.

One useful unit in most TH 13 attack strategies is the Balloon, which can be unlocked at TH 4. It is an Air Troop that is used in many air attack combinations, mostly with Lava Houd, who makes makes up for its partner’s low hit points.

3 of the best Ballon attack strategies for TH 13 in Clash of Clans

1) Blizzard LavaLoon

The Blizzard LavaLoon attack strategy for TH 13 in Clash of Clans requires the following units:

• 5 Super Barbarians
• 1 Archer
• 2 Wall Breakers
• 20 Balloons
• 6 Minions
• 3 Lava Hound
• 2 Ice Golem
• 1 Head Hunter
• Warden Apprentice
• 3 Freeze Spells
• 1 Poison Spell
• 1 Haste Spell
• 1 Invisibility Spell
• Barbarian King (Rage Vial)
• Archer Queen (Healing Puppet and Invisibility Vail)
• Grand Warden (Eternal Tome and Healing Tome)
• The Royal Champion (Seeking Shield and Royal Gem)

This strategy initially uses Lavahound with Blizzard to get rid of as many defenses as possible. Blizzard refers to the Blimp with Super Wizard attack combination.

Once the Blimp reaches the desired location, use Rage and Invisibility spells in intervals of four seconds. Then, use Super Wall Breakers with Ice Golems and units other than the Grand Warden to remove further defenses.

Now, send Lava Hound, Balloons, and the Grand Warden. The Lava Hound should be followed by three groups of Balloons, with the Grand Warden in the back. Remember to use Haste Spell to remove defenses that target multiple air troops.

Additionally, use the Freeze Spell to help Lava Hounds and Balloons deal with single-target buildings. Finally, use Super Barbarians or Minions to loot the storages.

2) Queen Charge LavaLoon

The Queen Charge LavaLoon attack strategy for TH 13 in Clash of Clans requires the following units:

• 21 Balloon
• 1 Wizard
• 5 Healers
• 2 Dragons
• 9 Minions
• 2 LAva Hound
• Blimp
• 1 Head Hunter
• 2 Rage Spells
• 1 Freeze
• 3 Haste
• Barbarian King (Spiky Ball and Giant Gauntlet)
• Archer Queen (Invisible vial and Frozen Arrow)
• Grand Warden (Eternal Tome and Healing Tome)
• Royal Champion (Seeking Shield and Royal Gem)

Before using this startegy, first take a look at the placements of the enemy Clan Castle, Eagle Artillery, Town Hall, and Air Defenses.

When starting the attack, place the Archer Queen and Baby Dragons as close to Clan Castle and Air Defense as possible. This will allow the Archer Queen to get rid of Air Defense for a later Lavaloon attack. The Archer Queen will be under heavy fire, so use Rage Spell and Healers for support.

On the other side, use Barbarian King with Super Wall Breakers to destroy another Air Defense. Afterward, use Lava Hound followed by Balloons, Grand Warden, and Stone Slammer to get rid of defenses.

Similarly, utilize the Champion with Lavahound and Balloons. Use Haste, Rage, and Freeze spells on splash attack or multi-target defenses. Finally, drop the minions to clean out the remaining base.
