Farming with Baby Dragons & Balloons (BabyLoon) is quite a fresh farming technique, compared to others like Goblin Knife, but it’s really effective. You can perfectly use it in higher Leagues to get the league Bonus and farm tons of Dark Elixir with it, even with upgrading Heroes.
This is the farming technique I recommend everyone being in higher Leagues because you can still farm trophies with it and don’t risk dropping cups.
This farming strategy uses a lot of Baby Dragons and Balloons, that’s it – you see it is easy to use.
Which Town Hall Levels does Baby Dragon Farming work for?
Town Hall 9 to Town Hall 11
Main Purpose
Primarily Dark Elixir, but you will also get a load of Gold.
Pros of BabyLoon:
+ No Dark Elixir costs
+ Very high success rate with 1-2 Star attacks
+ Useful against almost all kinds of bases (other farming techniques rely on searching for bases a long time)
+ High Profit, also without Heroes
Cons of BabyLoon Farming:
– Very Expensive in Elixir
First, I want to explain the basic mechanics of BabyLoon farming.
If I break it down to the very basics, this farming strategy has 3 Steps:
Sounds too easy? It is! That’s all; you will spend like 2 minutes of the 3 minutes by watching your attack without having to do that much at all.
There’s almost nothing you can do wrong, even defending Clan Castle troops don’t matter since you got the big load of Baby Dragons that take down whatever comes out.
You also don’t need to build a funnel; it’s more or less “Chinese-Wall-Deployment”
Here’s the troop setup you should go with:
Using Haste Spells is a little more effective, but that will lower the profit of Dark Elixir, so rather take the Rage Spells.
That’s all you need.
You will need to take care of 2 Air Defenses, one with 2 Lightning Spells and 1 Earthquake Spell and the other one with your Lava Hound.
Always attack into the Dark Elixir Storage, like this:
Now you can deploy the main portion of the raid – deploy your Baby Dragons and the Balloons. You don’t need to be careful or surgical here, just draw a line with your finger.
That’s also the point where you deploy your Grand Warden, in case he’s active in Air Mode.
That’s it; you almost made it.
Now you only need to drop your Rage Spells in the path to the core and that’s it – you will pick up either 1 or 2 Stars.
Cleaning with Heroes
If you have your Barbarian King or Archer Queen available, you can look out if there are outside Collectors or Drills with some loot and get them.
You can also go after the Town Hall, in case it is not gone by now.
The Baby Dragons and Balloons should pick up like 55%-70% destruction by now, so there’s not much you can do.
If you don’t need your Heroes to get additional resources or the 1 Star for the League Bonus just don’t use them to have your army ready sooner.
I personally like this strategy more than Goblin Knife, since you can attack almost all bases and don’t have to search for suitable setups – plus you have a lower risk not getting the League Bonus. If you’re in a higher League that’s something you definitely want to consider.

Baby Dragon Farming Step by Step
First, I want to explain the basic mechanics of BabyLoon farming.
If I break it down to the very basics, this farming strategy has 3 Steps:
- Zap-Quake one Air Defense
- Send in Lava Hound from Clan Castle on the other Air Defense
- Send in all Baby Dragons and all Balloons
- drop some Rage Spells
Sounds too easy? It is! That’s all; you will spend like 2 minutes of the 3 minutes by watching your attack without having to do that much at all.
There’s almost nothing you can do wrong, even defending Clan Castle troops don’t matter since you got the big load of Baby Dragons that take down whatever comes out.
You also don’t need to build a funnel; it’s more or less “Chinese-Wall-Deployment”
Here’s the troop setup you should go with:
- 10 Balloons
- 19 Baby Dragons (for TH11, otherwise just fill up the left housing space with them)
- 2 Lightning Spells & 1 Earthquake Spell
- 2-3 Rage Spells
- 1 Lava Hound in the Clan Castle
Using Haste Spells is a little more effective, but that will lower the profit of Dark Elixir, so rather take the Rage Spells.
That’s all you need.
Step 1: Take Care of the Air Defenses

Interesting attack. Unfortunately my baby drags are still lv2 and loons lv6. I'll share this link in my clan.
ReplyDeleteI spent some time maxing my goblin knife, now I moved on to air troops. I'll eventually max them, I hope this attack is still effective till them lol.
I think SC will soon make baby drags the most effective troop of the game.
Gonna try that for sure... I'm fairly new TH10 babies still at lvl 2 so I guess I have to wait a little bit. Meanwhile I'm farming elixir with quadlaloon 3 starring like crazy in champs 2
