The Fireball is a powerful area-of-effect card that can make a lot of valuable trades if used effectively.

Here's how to do that. Tougher mobs

While Arrows can deal with Goblins, Minions, and Skeletons with absolute ease, you'll need something a little stronger to take care of tougher units like Barbarians, for example.

Use Fireball on a group of those and they'll be mostly dead, leaving your weaker units free to mop them up.

Push

The Fireball also has a push effect which can knockback opponents, buying you a little time to set up an effective defence. While we'd recommend not doing this unless you absolutely have to (as there are usually far better options like Zap, Freeze, or Poison) sometimes the situation calls for a unique approach. This is one of them.
