Flying units operate under a completely different set of physical rules than ground units.
Why the Skies Matter
If a player sends a Balloon at the bridge, and your only anti-air card is a 3-elixir Minion squad buried at the bottom of your deck, you have already lost the tower.

Because flying units avoid so many standard defensive interactions, they require highly specialized, immediate answers.
If you play your Musketeer and they kill it with a Fireball, you are 100% defenseless against their incoming Balloon.Ground-to-air units (like Dart Goblin or Archers) are vulnerable to standard ground attacks.If you place a Wizard and a Musketeer right next to each other, a single Poison spell will kill both, leaving the skies wide open. Structuring Your Defense
A mathematically sound deck requires at least two reliable anti-air units and one spell capable of hitting air targets.

This is because your massive ground tank will inevitably attract massive enemy aerial swarms, and you need a single unit capable of clearing the entire sky with splash damage.

You must respect the skies and build your defenses with complete vertical coverage in mind.

When the shadow of a Balloon falls across your tower, you must be ready.
