Balloon Noobs

Balloon Noobs are a Common Troop. Balloon Noobs are the first aerial card in the game and can only be targeted by certain troops, particularly ranged troops. They are placed in groups of 3.

Balloon Noobs, being an aerial troop, can fly over the river in Standard Modes, or the void in Doomspire Mode.

Strategy
Balloon Noobs, having cheap cost and relatively high damage, combined with the ability to fly, can be useful for taking out towers. However, a Standard Mode tower can pretty reliably kill groups of Balloon Noobs without them doing much damage to the tower at all. This makes them more of a supportive troop in Standard Modes.

In Doomspire Mode, Balloon Noobs are particularly useful because the Doomspire towers do not have defensive abilities. This, combined with their potential to fly over the void, can swiftly and efficiently take out an unprepared player, because a Ranged Splash troop is mostly needed to properly take out a relatively large group of Balloon Noobs, and that needs to be placed at the tower to defend it. Additionally, after the tower they attacked gets destroyed, they can stay flying to avoid plunging into the void. See: The Balloon Rush.

Overall, the Balloon Noobs are a pretty good support in Standard Modes, and they are a must-have in Doomspire Mode.
