However, one of the most fatal deck-building errors is neglecting to include a robust, reliable suite of anti-air defenses.
This guide highlights the absolute necessity of anti-air units and how to properly utilize them against the terror of the skies.
The Aerial Behemoths: Lava Hound and Balloon
The most devastating aerial threat in the game is the dreaded 'LavaLoon' combination: a massive Lava Hound tanking damage while a high-DPS Balloon sneaks in behind it.
To survive this assault, you must have at least two reliable anti-air units in your deck, along with a defensive building that targets air (like the Tesla or Inferno Tower).
The Electro Wizard is fantastic against Balloons.When the Hound dies, it bursts into a swarm of flying pups.A ground-only tank killer (like a Mini P.E.

Versatile Anti-Air Options
The Musketeer is the gold standard of versatile defense; she boasts incredible range, high single-target DPS, and survives a standard Fireball.
Furthermore, you must consider air-to-air combat; including your own flying units (like Mega Minion or Phoenix) provides a mobile defense that ground units cannot touch.

Watching the Skies
A deck with a glaring weakness to aerial attacks is simply not viable for climbing the competitive ladder.
Control the ground, but never forget to watch the skies.
