Top Lava Hound Decks

What Does Lava Hound Do?

Lava Hound is a flying troop with enormous hitpoints that targets buildings only, ignoring enemy troops entirely as it flies toward the tower. His high HP makes him extremely time-consuming to bring down with anything but strong anti-air damage.

When he's finally destroyed, he splits into 6 small Lava Pups that continue flying and fighting, adding meaningful follow-up damage even after the main body falls.

Where Lava Hound Fits

He's the centerpiece of air-based beatdown decks, typically paired with other flying support troops behind him, using his massive HP to soak up anti-air defense while the rest of the push does the real damage.

How to Counter Lava Hound

Strong, sustained anti-air damage can wear down his enormous hitpoints over time, and having splash damage ready helps clear the 6 Lava Pups efficiently once he splits.
