What Does Balloon Do?
Balloon is a slow-flying troop that ignores enemy units entirely and heads straight for the nearest building, dealing enormous damage per hit once it arrives - enough to threaten a tower in just a couple of connects if it's not dealt with quickly.
When it's finally destroyed, it drops a bomb on the spot that deals area damage, which can still catch troops or a building standing directly underneath even after the Balloon itself is gone.
Where Balloon Fits
Balloon is a genuine win condition, usually paired with a ground tank like Giant or Golem to soak up defenders and clear a path, or with Lumberjack and Rage-style support to rush it across the arena before the opponent can react.
How to Counter Balloon
Any reliable anti-air answer works - Musketeer, Mega Minion, Tesla, or Inferno Tower can all shoot it down before it lands a hit, since its high damage output only matters if it actually reaches the tower.
