If the Golem is the undisputed king of ground-based Beatdown, the 'LavaLoon' combination is the terrifying, uncontested emperor of the skies.

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.
Placement is everything.Never play the Lava Hound if you are down on elixir in the first two minutes.Always bring the Arrows spell. Sacrificing the Ground
The absolute hardest part of playing LavaLoon is surviving the ground phase of the game, especially against fast Cycle or Bridge Spam decks.

You must become incredibly comfortable with your Princess towers taking damage; if your tower is at 1000 health, you must remain calm and focus on building your final, unstoppable air push in double elixir.
What Stops YouYour Counter-PlayInferno Tower (Melts the Lava Hound instantly)Use a Zap spell to reset the damage beam, or use Lightning to severely damage the building and stun itExecutioner + Tornado ComboDo not clump your Balloon directly behind the Hound; space them out significantly so the Tornado cannot group them The Aerial Victory
You are trading early ground vulnerability for late-game aerial invincibility.

The ground is for peasants.
