About the Balloon in Clash of Clans Elixir Troops
The Balloon is a Clash of Clans elixir troop, trained in the Barracks. It can attack ground targets. Because it deals splash damage, the Balloon is strongest against groups of buildings and swarms of defending troops rather than a single tough target. Each Balloon costs 5 housing space in your army camps.
The Balloon first becomes available at Town Hall 4. At level 1 it has 150 hitpoints, growing to 1,240 hitpoints once fully upgraded to level 12. At its maximum level it deals 304 damage per second. Taking the Balloon all the way to level 12 costs roughly 63,170,000 Elixir and about 42d 22h of upgrade time.
With a movement speed of 10 and a range of 0.5 tiles, the Balloon fits armies that need units that push into the base.
Among the 17 Elixir Troops with an attack, the Balloon has the 8th highest damage per second at maximum level.
Balloon strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Its splash damage clears tight groups of buildings and swarms of defending troops in one hit.
Weaknesses
- It can only attack ground targets, so it offers nothing against air defences and needs support from units that can hit air.
- Its modest hitpoints leave it exposed to splash defences such as Wizard Towers, Mortars and Bomb Towers.
