Required strategy in Clash of Clans Golden Sand Challenge

Town Hall takedown

You must begin by using Invisibility spells strategically. Deploy the first Invisibility Spell just above the Town Hall, and quickly follow up with the deployment of the powerful Inferno Dragon.

Timing is crucial to maximize the effect. Wait for approximately four seconds before casting the second Invisibility Spell. This delay helps maximize the duration of the invisibility effect, allowing the Inferno Dragon to focus on destroying the Town Hall without being targeted by defenses. This initial phase sets the stage for a strong start to your attack.

Archer Queen's precision strike

Moving on, focus on unleashing the devastating capabilities of your Archer Queen. Find a specific tile slightly to the right of a darker tile on the right side of the base and deploy your Archer Queen precisely on this chosen tile.

Once deployed, activate her Giant Arrow ability. The objective here is to trigger the Air Sweeper and start damaging the Monolith. Timing and placement are key to ensuring maximum impact and efficiency in clearing out defenses in this section of the base.

Strategic deployment of Royal Champion

Unleash the Royal Champion on the bottom side of the base once your Queen destroys the Clan Castle troop. Use a combination of a Rage Spell and a Skeleton Spell to boost her offensive prowess and survivability,

This strategic deployment, coupled with Hero Equipment abilities, allows the Royal Champion to contribute significantly to the destruction of defenses and key structures of the Golden Sand Challenge.

Unleashing the air and ground assault

With key targets neutralized and strategic units deployed, it's time to unleash a combined air and ground assault. Focus on deploying Balloons, Super Dragons, and an Ice Golem strategically across the base. Spread them out to cover a wide area, ensuring that defenses are overwhelmed and unable to effectively target all your units simultaneously.

While some units may come under fire from Inferno Towers, the overall strength and coordination of your assault should compensate for any losses and ensure a three-star victory in the Golden Sand challenge.
