Today we have the balloon cycle God...FAMOUSKID on the channel sharing his #1 deck! This fast cycle deck requires you to make positive elixir trades on defence which you can then take advantage of offensively. From watching today’s guest play he will often make prediction plays to help support his pushes. For example using the log or snowball to help protect the miner or the balloon. Just like all cycle decks try to protect your musketeer as much as possible, this can force your opponent to invest more elixir in taking her out, if they don’t they risk you been able to stack up musketeers. Use your cycle units to help defend and also support your existing troops.
Ice golem is a secret weapon for many pro players, this guy can offer a lot of defensive options from kiting units into the opposite lane, using him as a mini or or using his frost nova against, bats minions, skarmy etc. If your miner is out of cycle you can rely on this card to tank tower damage for your balloon. He is also a key cycle unit inside this deck.
Balloon is your main win condition and using it at the right time is key to getting it to connect to the opponents tower. Also you can use this card offensively to help defend.... by this I mean playing this card opposite lane when your opponent is setting up for a big push can force them to play units defensively which will mean they can invest all their elixir to support their push.
Bomb tower will be your main defensive card is most matchups. You can either play it in the centre to kite units like hog rider, ram rider, tanks or balloon. Or you can play it same lane against x-bow, Royale hogs etc to help defend and also take advantage of the death bomb.
Miner is the best opening play you can use to start out a match. In single elixir you should be aiming to go into double elixir with a damage advantage, especially against heavy beat down decks. If you’re up against quick cycle decks you can focus on defending and learning how you opponent uses their cards to defend.
Once you’re in double elixir then you should still keep up the offensive pressure even if you’ve taken a tower. Keep chipping away with the miner and you can also start making prediction spell placements, even if you can’t get the balloon to the tower then using it can still make your opponent respond and could also result in the death bomb damage! Good luck with this deck everyone!
