I agree with your tips, but the first tip can be risky.

Tower trading is always good against log bait, but you can't always guarantee that you'll take their tower by sacking yours. 

I agree, just be mindful of the inferno tower

The only matchup in which Classic Lava Loon (other variants are different) gets hard countered 0 to 100 is Ice-Bow. Lava Loon has a chance against every other deck and has very good chances against most decks.

In the first match, you played very well, while your opponent was making stupid mistakes. One such mistake was goblin barreling you weak tower and then sending in another goblin gang which was a complete waste of elixir. It was also pretty lucky that you were against Tesla. Inferno Tower would have been so much harder

yep

That's why it is one of the most solid decks in the game.

There are a ton of new top ladder decks built by pros that have very little air defense, and usually the only decks that counter those decks are Lava decks.

The ONLY reason why Ice-Bow hard counters Lava Loon Classic is cuz of Tornado Rocket

And because it's kinda hard to stop xbow with lava cards

Yeah, unless you have Valkyrie 

Avatar of Ber-ti689

Even Valkyrie isn't super good

Most lava players lava in the back first play

Which means they have three elixir (maybe about 3.5 elixir by the time the xbow player goes xbow opposite lane)

The xbow player can then Knight perfect to get the valk dpsed down and a fireball can then be used to kill skeleton dragons etc.

True

I just realized that we're talking about ice bow and I switched back to 3.0 lol

forget about the fireball part

Avatar of yuxuanyang

ice bow can just use tesla and ice wiz and if they need to nado to defend a lava push

Avatar of aLOGYCAL

Yeah

Icebow defense is SO solid 

Avatar of Ber-ti689

yep

Avatar of Ber-ti689

It's just usually weaker than 3.0 because it has trouble with fireball bait, and has a slower cycle

Luckily Ice-bow is not too popular, but lava loon variants are becoming more and more meta.

Day 7: I went from 5439-5507! I finally hit 5500. on the next day I will try to get a bit higher. I didn't get to play too much today.

I also got my valk to level 12! happy.png

here is a recording of a really intense game against a hard matchup, I played pretty good except for the time where I played a tombstone behind the tower when the dart goblin took my tower, it was a great comeback though, i didn't have too many interesting games today: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GBb03oCgaLASaa_KbIjXrq9CtXiXZcbk/view?usp=sharing
