Balloon - soldier stats and troop tactics in Clash of Clans
Wall Breakers who value their existence end up taking to the skies.
Balloons may be slow, but they cause huge damage to the enemy Clan below.
They're not the most robust unit, though, so send them in only after you've cleared out your enemy's air defenses. Like their movement, their attack speed is sluggish but you can counter this by deploying them in groups - multiple Balloons will prove particularly devastating.
