The Ultimate Guide to LavaLoon in Tower Rush

This strategy completely bypasses traditional ground defenses, rendering enemy Cannons, Bomb Towers, and ground-melee troops completely useless.

You must learn to absorb massive amounts of damage without panicking, trusting that your unstoppable aerial armada will eventually crush their base.

Building the Armada

Because the opponent's Musketeer or Wizard is already locked onto the massive 7-elixir Lava Hound, they completely ignore the 5-elixir Balloon flying right past them.

While the Hound slowly dies, the Balloon reaches the tower completely untouched and drops a bomb that instantly erases half the tower's health.

• You must place the Balloon so it physically pushes the slow-moving Lava Hound forward, accelerating the entire push.
• Never play the Lava Hound if you are down on elixir in the first two minutes.
• The single biggest counter to LavaLoon is the Minion Horde; Arrows will instantly clear the sky for your Balloon.

Sacrificing the Ground

You must rely entirely on cheap 'distraction' units, like the Tombstone or Guards, to kite and stall enemy ground threats.

While the enemy is busy fighting the skeletons spawned by the Tombstone, your Mega Minion can safely kill them from the air.

Ruling the Skies

When you perfectly execute the combo and watch the opponent's anti-air defenses completely fail, you will understand the true power of the archetype.

Take to the skies, weather the ground assault, and drop the bombs.
