What is a Balloon deck?

A Balloon deck is built around Balloon as its win condition: the card your pushes are designed to protect and connect to the enemy tower. The remaining seven slots supply defense, spells and support that cover Balloon’s weaknesses and convert defensive stops into counter-pushes.

The strongest Balloon decks in the current meta are listed above, ranked by real win rate. Card lists, average elixir and usage all come from live battles, so the list follows every balance change automatically.

How to play Balloon

Play the first minute patiently: learn the opponent’s counters to Balloon and make positive elixir trades on defense. Commit to a big Balloon push when you have an elixir lead or when their key counter is out of rotation — support it with the deck’s spells and backup troops.

Facing Balloon instead? Use the counter tool to find the cards and decks that shut it down, or study the losing matchups of the decks listed above.
