Epic Troops
Balloon
Watch out, an air raid is coming! Having decent hitpoints and high damage per strike, while only targeting buildings, the Balloon makes for a heavy threat on offense. Although it isn’t fast, one strike could potentially mean defeat. For 5 Elixir, it brings death from above and can even blow up a low-health Crown Tower and smaller support troops with its death bomb as a last-ditch effort, as well as pushing back lighter foes.

- Build around its support role rather than treating it as a universal answer.
- Its target profile is buildings; cover targets it cannot handle with another card.
- Test the card in friendly battles after balance updates before relying on exact interactions.
