What Does Hero Balloon Do?
Hero Balloon's ability is Coffin Cadets. After a short delay, a Skeletrooper dives from the Balloon toward the nearest ground target within range, dealing landing damage across a small area. If nothing is in range, it simply lands beneath the Balloon.
The Skeletrooper isn't a one-off effect - it stays on the battlefield afterward as a brand new melee troop, continuing to fight on foot. Its landing damage against crown towers is reduced by 90%, so its real value comes from clearing troops and buildings rather than chipping the tower directly.
