How to 3-star the Doom & Gloom Challenge in Clash of Clans

The Doom & Gloom Challenge in Clash of Clans is part of the game’s October 2024 roadmap. It requires players to raid a Town Hall 16 base with a pre-defined troop composition, which includes Barbarian King, Archer Queen, and other formidable units. Players also get the support of Spells and Flame Flinger to boost their army strength and cause 100% destruction.

Considering the formation of the given base, this article provides steps on how to achieve a 3-star victory in the Doom & Gloom Challenge in Clash of Clans.

Method to obtain 3 stars in the Doom & Gloom Challenge in Clash of Clans

Here are the steps you must follow to 3-star the Doom & Gloom Challenge in Clash of Clans:

• Initial setup on the right: Initiate the Doom & Gloom Challenge in Clash of Clans by attacking the far right side of the base. Spread Barbarians evenly around level 1 Cannon. This will trigger all the hidden Teslas. Once the Teslas are revealed, deploy your Flame Flinger as far to the right as possible, positioning it near the green slime line. This placement allows the Flame Flinger to outrange the Teslas. To neutralize the Clan Castle troops without triggering them, drop a Skeleton Spell directly on top of it. The skeletons will eliminate the Clan Castle troops without luring them out.
• Place Super Archers strategically: Next, position all Super Archers in line with each Eagle Artillery at the bottom of the bases. Aim for the spaces between every other Mashup Madness decoration. The Super Archers’ long-range attack will penetrate through the Eagles and hit the Scattershots and Inferno Towers behind them, setting up a powerful offensive.
• Grand Warden adjustment and uses: Set your Grand Warden to air mode before deploying him in the Doom & Gloom Challenge in Clash of Clans. Place him in line with the single-target Inferno Tower at the left of the base. The Diggy pet, which is paired with the Warden, will stun the Inferno Tower, allowing the Warden to take it down quickly. Wait for Warden to destroy the two multi-target Inferno Towers beside the single-targe Inferno and use his Fireball Hero Equipment ability to demolish the remaining defense present there.
• Eagle Artillery and Hero management: Deploy your Ice Golem near the Eagle Artillery section to help tank damage near the bottom of the base. Position your Barbarian King and Archer Queen in line with the Scattershots, and activate the Queen’s Giant Arrow ability to weaken them. Once the King breaches the wall, activate his Giant Gauntlet ability as well to push through the defenses. Use a Druid to heal your Heroes and keep them topped up as they approach the Town Hall.
• Town Hall destruction: To take down the Town Hall, use one Sneaky Goblin to activate the Invisibility Spell Tower. Once the tower’s effect is triggered, the Town Hall cannot be targeted. Ensure that the Dark Elixir Storage near the Town Hall has been destroyed—if not, send two Sneaky Goblins to finish the job. Once the Invisibility Spell Tower’s effect wears off, deploy the remaining Sneaky Goblins to take out the Town Hall.
• Supporting the Heroes and finishing touches: As your Heroes continue to push through the base, use the Freeze Spell to assist them, especially when the enemy Heroes are engaging them. You can also use the Invisibility Spell on your Archer Queen if she is under heavy fire. After the Town Hall’s poison effect dissipates, cast four Bat Spells evenly across the X-Bows. Use three Minions to attack the Invisibility Spell Tower from above and use the remaining troops wherever needed to earn a 3-star victory in the Doom & Gloom Challenge in Clash of Clans.
