Pet Lavaloon
The old air attack with pets on the heroes, which is what makes it work again at TH14.
Lavaloon has been in the game forever and it keeps coming back because nothing else clears a base with this little pathing risk. What changed at TH14 is the Pet House. The Unicorn keeps the Queen alive through the opening she used to die in, and the Electro Owl gives the Warden something to do while the Balloons walk. Thirty Balloons behind two Hounds is a lot of damage arriving at once, and the whole attack is still decided by which third of the base you pick.

How to run it
- 1Walk the Queen in behind the Healers on the side with the weakest Air Defence coverage and let the Unicorn carry her.
- 2Send both Lava Hounds across that third once the first Air Defence is down, spread so no single one pulls them together.
- 3Drop all thirty Balloons in one lane behind the Hounds, never in a ring, and Haste them the moment they clear the wall.
- 4Rage inside the core, not on the approach, and hold two Freezes for the Scattershots.
- 5Trickle the Minions from the back for the outside buildings once the Air Defences are gone.
What beats it. Scattershots cover air and there are two of them at TH14. If both sit centrally with the Air Defences spread around them, the Balloon lane dies in the middle and you get a 60 percent. Take the Titans into that base.
The other TH14 armies
Same camp space, different answer. Pet Lavaloon is the one to drop when the base suits it, not the only one worth learning.
