Lavaloon

"Blending the powerfully blasty bombs of a Balloon with the rock-hard armour of a Lava Hound, the Lavaloon brings a base to ruin one boom at a time."

Level 1-11
==Summary==
*The Lavaloon is one of four temporary troops introduced in the Mashup Madness event for Clash-o-Ween 2023, where it could be unlocked after accumulating 35,000 Sour Elixir in the event. It returned in the Mashup Mania event for Clash-o-Ween 2024, where it can be unlocked with 100 Sour Elixir.
*The Lavaloon combines aspects of the Balloon and Lava Hound. Like Lava Hounds, the Lavaloon preferentially targets s; in attacking, the Lavaloon releases its bombs on its way to its target, similar to a Battle Blimp. Each bomb does moderately high damage per hit and spawns a Lavaloon Pup. When defeated, the Lavaloon explodes, dealing high area damage, and releases a few Lavaloon Pups depending on its level.
*The Lavaloon cannot be upgraded in the Laboratory. Its level is instead determined by the player's Town Hall level.
*
*The Lavaloon Puppet summons Lavaloons, but these Lavaloons are slightly weaker than the temporary-troop Lavaloons, and are considered distinct from these Lavaloons.
==Strategies==
===Offensive Strategies===
*Much like the Lava Hounds, Lavaloons target s and drops bombs which spawn a Lavaloon Pup each every few seconds. To get the best value, use Lightning Spells and/or other attacking units to destroy Air Defenses so that the Lavaloons will destroy defenses and the Lavaloon Pups will take out the non-defensive buildings, and eventually destroy the base.
**The Archer Queen's Giant Arrow can be a useful ability to remove at least two Air Defenses, provided it is angled correctly.
*In the case if there are any defending Clan Castle troops, use a Poison Spell to slow them down or take them out.
*Lavaloons are weak to single-target damage, with traps such as Seeking Air Mines and defenses like single-target s. For single-targeting defenses, use a Freeze Spell or the Overgrowth Spell disable the defense, or use an Invisibility Spell to turn them invisible.
===Defensive Strategies===
*Defending against Lavaloons are quite tricky as they can distract s to provide cover for other air units. The best way to prevent this is to spread them from other important defenses from other Air Defenses, so that the Lavaloons will be split away from the main army.
**However, this does not work if the attacker manages to destroy too many Air Defenses.
*Multi-target s are very useful in warding off Lavaloon Pups, because they can target Lavaloon Pups independently of any shielding Lavaloons.
*At Town Hall 15 and above, Poison Spell Towers are effective area denial tools against Lavaloon Pups.
*Useful troops to include in a defending Clan Castle to oppose Lavaloons are s and Electro Titans. A Super Dragon can deal strong damage to Lavaloons and his area damage can eliminate nearby Lavaloon Pups; an Electro Titan will outright wipe out any Lavaloon Pups that come near her due to her aura.

==Trivia==
*
*This troop's name comes from an army strategy, the LavaLoon.
*The Lavaloon is one of few temporary troops to later become a permanent part of the game. The other such troops are as follows:
**The Lavaloon is also the only temporary troop to be summoned from a Hero Equipment, via his Lavaloon Puppet, but they are weaker than the ones from the event.
**The and both appear as troops in the Clan Capital.
**The Royal Ghost also makes permanent appearances, but is not usable as an attacking troop. He instead appears as part of "Royal Ghost traps", specially-modified Skeleton Traps that spawn Royal Ghosts instead of Skeletons. These Royal Ghost traps appear in certain levels in the Single Player Campaign and in a few Attack Challenges.
