Rocket Balloon/Clan Capital

__NOEDITSECTION__
"When terrain is working against you, a swarm of Rocket Balloons can probably get the job done... if their boosters don't run out first."
----
Level 1-5
== Summary ==
* Rocket Balloons are troops available in the Clan Capital, available when the Rocket Balloon Barracks is constructed (this occurs automatically after the Balloon Lagoon district is unlocked, when the Capital Hall is upgraded to level 4).
* Rocket Balloons are similar to their : they are defense-targeting air troops with high damage per second that utilize rockets to boost their speed for the first 4 seconds after deployment. In the Clan Capital, they can only be deployed in squads consisting of pairs.
*
==Strategy==
===Offensive===
*With their ability, Rocket Balloons can decimate most frontline defenses quickly.
* While deploying just one pair of Rocket Balloons is great for taking out a few defenses, deploying them in larger numbers (10 or more) can easily wipe out plenty of defenses. Be sure to take a as clusters of them are vulnerable to splash-targeting defenses like the Super Wizard Tower and air-targeting s.
**You can also use a Rage Spell to speed them up after their boost has run out.
* The main usage of the Rocket Balloons will be to snipe defenses. However, they are fragile, so use a tank such as a Flying Fortress to prevent them from going down.
*Since they come in duos, it is best advised to sprinkled them surgically.
*They could also be used to trigger Zap Traps and Mega Mines set to air to protect higher health flting troops like a Super Dragon.
*They are also useful in balloon lagoon to cross the big body of water because of their haste, they could snipe defenses on the other side.
===Defensive===
*Groups of Rocket Balloons are more susceptible to air-set Mines, and can easily be taken out with the aid of other defenses which target air.
*Avoid placing Air Defenses on the outside of the base, as they could easily be sniped with one or two duos of Rocket Balloons if exposed.

== Trivia==
* You can have a maximum of 16 groups of Rocket Balloons at one time in a complete set of fully upgraded Army Camps.
*The Rocket Balloon's icon in the Clan Capital erroneously shows 3 Rocket Ballons, despite the fact that only 2 can be deployed at once in a raid.
* The rockets attached to the hot air balloon resemble the Rocket card from Clash Royale.
*The silver platings that it has resembles how the level 8 Balloon gains them.
*The chains and silver platings it has are darker in battle than in the info image.
*The Rocket Balloon could be inspired by the Balloon in Clash of Clans – A Clashiversary Tale video where they celebrate 50th anniversary.
*Unlike the regular Balloon, the Rocket Balloon has sprites where it faces different directions rather than looking idle while moving. This may be due to the fact that its hot air balloon has two rockets on both sides and an empennage on the back of it.
*The Rocket Balloon appears to have a Super Wall Breaker in it. This is based off of the fact that regular Balloons contain “promoted” Wall Breakers.
