Balloons will usually use their Self-Destruct Ability, which will only work if they have taken damage. Therefore, your best bet is to aim to defeat them with a single attack or Spell.

Elemental Vulnerability
Fire
Balloons' Self-Destruct ability is extremely dangerous, but they will only Self-Destruct if they have taken damage. Therefore, when you hit them, hit them hard and take them out before they have a chance to explode.

Unlike Bombs, Balloon can use Exploder as a normal attack and not just a counter. Fortunately, they are easy to take out before they have a chance to do so. Both Ice and Water work very well, as do basic physical attacks.
