Air attack strategies: Balloons, Baby Dragons, Dragons, Lava Hound
The balancing of December 2016 has brought a fresh air explosion for those ex-lovers of Lavaloonion, that almost nobody used anymore.
Finally, Air Units has been brought back to life and are now armies for dangerous attacks (maybe too much?) able to win 1 or 2 stars on every attack.
It isn’t useful just on a competitive level: farming is essential to grow and using these Troops will allow you to gain enormous quantity of Gold and Dark Elixir, which is rare.
The benefits of using Air Armies
If befor every army was made of 50% dark elixir units (Valkyries, Bowlers, Hog riders) with extreme exsanguination of Dark Elixir, now you will more need to invest Pink Elixir.
If you ami at winning easily because you might be farming, or you want to farm Dark Elixir because maybe you need to upgrade troops in the Laboraty or upgrade your Heroes, then using these Units is the best choice!
They have on their side the ability to elude Traps and some ground defences (like Mortar, Cannon, Bomb Tower), but compared to ground units they are more difficult to use as they are more delicate and sensible to damages from Air Defences or annoyed by the Air Sweeper.
However 1 star (especially if you are high in the legues and your bonus is high) it is almost always ensured when paired to Heroes.
Improvements with the Balancing
The new balancing allows to speed up the destruction of the enemy’s structures by Dragons and Balloons: a group of 2 or 3 Units of this kind, for example, can destroy almost always 2 close defences, even when hit by air defences.
If you feel like this is not enough, the Haste Spell has obtained an increment in its range of action, which accentuate the distructive side of these Troops.

Among all, the Town Hall that gained the most advantage is the TH9: without Inferno Towers and with the possibility to use the Freeze Spell, rarely it is hard to win 3 stars in war. The video down below shows some attacks taken few hours ago where these troops show their fantastic distructive ability.
