How to Play Balloon

Find the opponent’s anti-air rotation before exposing Balloon repeatedly. A Balloon sent after a defensive exchange is often stronger than an unsupported attack at equal elixir.

Use spells to remove or delay the defender that matters most. When a connection is unlikely, preserve elixir and use Balloon’s threat to influence how the opponent spends.

Practical tips

  • Track the strongest anti-air card.
  • Attack after useful defensive exchanges.
  • Avoid forcing Balloon into a complete defensive rotation.

Balloon strengths

  • Very high damage per connection.
  • Creates immediate air pressure.
  • Supports several control and cycle styles.

Balloon weaknesses

  • Reliable anti-air can deny connections.
  • Unsupported attacks may lose tempo.
  • Placement and spell timing are critical.
