How to counter the Baby Dragon in Clash Royale

The Baby Dragon does decent splash and point damage, has a good amount of health, and is an airborne unit. This makes him an incredibly useful asset for most builds.

Countering it isn't easy though. While Archers and Spear Goblins are pretty good at dealing with most air units, the splash damage from its fireballs make short work of them if you just drop them down. To counter, we'd recommend dropping a Tesla to deal with or letting it attack your tower and immediately dropping Spear Goblins or Archers to take it down safely. You'll take some damage to your tower but you'll have a small Elixir advantage.
