How to complete all levels of Haaland's Challenge

Since a new level opens up every other day, this post will be updated each time a new level is added to the game. Make sure you keep checking in to find out what is expected for that day.

This guide will be updated daily until all challenges have dropped!

Haaland's Challenge Level 1 - Payback Time

For the first challenge, you will need to defeat Haaland's real base (seen in the screenshot above) with a preset army. That army is comprised of the following:

  • x10 level 8 Balloons
  • x10 level 7 Dragons
  • x1 level 5 Lava Hound
  • x1 level 4 Stone Slammer
  • Level 65 Barbarian King
  • Level 65 Archer Queen
  • Level 40 Grand Warden
  • x4 level 6 Rage Spells
  • x5 level 7 Freeze Spells

The best strategy for this is to drop your troops where you see fit but ensure that the Freeze Spell is being used on all the air defenses. This isn't a difficult challenge so long as the air troops are able to do their jobs. You'll also want to ensure that you're using the Rage Spell when a larger number of troops is in its vicinity, giving you more of a chance to use it.

The second level of Haaland's Challenge is called "Kicker Kick-Off" and is an unnamed Town Hall level 12. You will have the following army:

  • x20 level 8 Barbarian Kickers (the new troop type)
  • x1 level 8 Sneaky Goblin
  • x1 level 6 Rage Spell

This level is easier than the first level as long as you have patience. You can easily defeat this one with three Stars. I have tried several strategies, and the easiest one, by far, is to just deploy all the Barbarian Kickers across the midfield line at once. This overwhelms the defenses, and you can drop the Rage Spell when a large portion of them come together. Then, use the Sneaky Goblin to go through and clear the resources while the defenses focus on the Barbarian Kickers.

Haaland's Challenge Level 3 - Golden Boot

Haaland's Challenge Level 3 - Golden Boot

In the third level of Haaland's Challenge, called Golden Boot, you will have yet another interesting Town Hall to defeat.

This is your army:

  • x13 level 12 Kicker Barbarians
  • x2 level 9 Goblins
  • x1 level 11 Super Valkyrie
  • x1 level 8 Bowlers
  • x1 level 10 Poison Spell
  • x1 level 8 Skeleton Spell

Once again, this town hall may originally seem tough, but you can easily conquer it just by overwhelming the Town Hall. All you need to do is use the Poison Spell on their Grand Warden and then spam all the troops on the endline by the goal. This will allow you to easily overrun the opponent and win. You can use the Skeleton Spell anywhere that you feel they could be helpful.

Haaland's Challenge Level 4 - Ball Buster

Haaland's Challenge Level 4 - Ball Buster

This is another one of the stages that will have a leaderboard for players to try out. Here's the army you will have during this round:

  • x6 level 5 Archers
  • x9 level 5 Wall Breakers
  • x8 level 6 Wizards
  • x3 level 4 PEKAs
  • x2 level 5 Minions
  • x17 level 6 Hog Riders
  • x5 level 3 Valkyries
  • x2 level 4 Golems
  • x1 level 30 Barbarian King
  • x2 level 6 Healing Spells
  • x2 level 4 Rage Spells
  • x3 level 4 Clone Spells
  • x1 level 4 Poison Spell

For this one, you will want to start at the endlines (it doesn't matter which one), which are the lines by the goals. First, release the Poison Spells on the Heroes, and then use 5 Wall Breakers to destroy the wall. Once that has been done, you can spam the rest of the army (minus the final 4 Wall Breakers) around the area that the Wall Breaks cleared. Use the Clone Spells where you see large amounts of your army congregating; this will ensure you get the most out of them. Keep track of everyone's health and use the Healing Spells when needed. Once you're close to the Town Hall, release the final 4 Wall Breakers to break the walls down, and use the Rage Spells to finish up the opponent.

Haaland's Challenge Level 5 - Thrower Throwdown

This challenge is certainly more difficult than the ones before. Before, you had a very good chance of winning if you just overwhelmed the opponent. This one requires some patience and strategizing. You will have the following army:

  • x18 level 11 Giant Thrower
  • x5 level 6 Rage Spells
  • x1 level 10 Poison Spell
  • x3 level 5 Earthquake Spells

For this challenge, you will want to be patient. The best thing to do is to put down two Giant Throwers at the corner near the Town Hall and throw down a Rage Spell. This will let them take out everything except the Inferno Towers. While they are dealing with that, use the Poison Spell to kill the reinforcements from the Clan Castle.

After those two have been defeated, drop one Giant Thrower on each side of the Inferno Towers and throw down a Rage Spell for each. They will destroy those towers and move on to the rest of the area. Now, you can use the Earthquake Spell on the two areas that are filled with defensive measures (by the Cannons and X-Bows). Next, drop a Rage Spell near where you dropped the Earthquake Spells and drop around five Giant Throwers on each side.

While the Giant Throwers are making easy work of what is left, drop your remaining Giant Throwers anywhere that you feel they can be used. This will ensure that you can finish out the match in plenty of time.

Haaland's Challenge Level 6 - Card-Happy

Haaland's sixth Challenge is one that is pretty difficult to get the hang of. You will have the following army while taking this on:

  • x1 level 3 P.E.K.K.A.
  • x2 level 5 Lava Hound
  • x1 level 9 Barbarian King
  • x10 Yellow Card Spell
  • x1 level 5 Haste Spell

This level seems to require a bit of luck on top of skill. To begin with, you will want to have your Barbarian King attack the air defenses while the P.E.K.K.A. attacks the ground defenses. The Yellow Card Spell will allow you to direct the troops, so be sure to use it on the air defenses at the bottom (where you will deploy the Barbarian King) and on the ground defenses at the top (where you will deploy the P.E.K.K.A.).

Once you have done this, you will want to send the Lava Hounds to the Inferno Towers, but make sure you have used the Yellow Card Spell to ensure the air defenses are hidden. Otherwise, they will attack those instead. The reason you want to focus on the Inferno Towers and the air defense for the Barbarian King is because once he dies, the Phoenix attached to him will be able to hit the ground defense. This is where luck comes in. From here, you just have to wait and see what route your troops take and hopefully they will take one that allows for them to clear the base fast enough. You can use the Haste Spell anytime you see the troops need it.

Haaland's Challenge Level 7 - Friendly Warmup

This is a lot like one of the warmups that you can do in the game. This one contains the following army for you to use:

  • x3 level 5 Barbarian Kickers
  • x2 level 4 Giant Throwers
  • x4 level 6 Archers
  • x6 level 6 Balloons
  • x6 level 4 Dragons
  • x1 level 30 Barbarian King
  • x1 level 30 Archer Queen
  • x3 Yellow Card Spells
  • x2 level 5 Rage Spells
  • x1 level 2 Freeze Spell
  • x1 level 5 Poison Spell
  • x1 level 3 Earthquake Spell

To begin with, you will want to deploy a Barbarian Kicker to the bottom right-hand corner, where they will destroy the air defenses. Next, use the Yellow Card spell to hide the canons at the bottom left-hand corner and deploy the Barbarian King. Once he is deployed, use his Spiky Ball ability to take out the X-Bows.

While all that is happening, use the Earthquake Spell on the X-Bows on the left-hand side of the base and take those out. Then you will want to deploy all of your Dragons, three Balloons, and a Rage Spell at the bottom of the base and let them deal with the bottom defenses. After this, head to the Archer Tower and deploy two Giant Throwers and a Rage Spell.

Finally, you will want to deploy the Archer Queen at the top right-hand side of the base and use her ability. From there, you can use the rest of your troops as you see fit.

Haaland's Challenge Level 8 - Quick Qualifier

This match will give you the following army:

  • x2 level 8 Barbarian Kickers
  • x1 level 9 Archer
  • x5 level 8 Sneaky Goblins
  • x6 level 8 Balloons
  • x7 level 3 Electro Dragons
  • x1 level 3 Stone Slammer
  • x1 level 65 Barbarian King
  • x1 level 65 Archer Queen
  • x1 level 40 Grand Warden
  • x2 level 9 Lightning Spells
  • x2 Yellow Card Spells
  • x4 level 6 Rage Spells
  • x1 level 6 Poison Spell

This is another pretty challenging one, and it is also one of the ones that offers players the chance to compete for a leaderboard to see what player can complete it the fastest. To start with, you will want to drop the Barbarian King at the bottom right-hand corner and use the Sneaky Goblins to attack the resources along the top of the base. From there, send a couple of Balloons after the Mortar on the left side of the base and put the Archer Queen with two Electro Dragons at the bottom left-hand corner.

Drop the Stone Slammer and a Rage Spell in the same corner as the Archer Queen. Then, drop the rest of the Electro Dragons and the Grand Warden at the top corner, along with a Rage Spell. You can put the Barbarian Kickers, leftover Balloons, and Archer anywhere that you see that needs cleaning up. From there, use the Lightning Spells on whatever your army hasn't taken out, and use those Rage Spells where multiple troops are and the Poison Spell on the opposing troops.

Haaland's Challenge Level 9 - Nobel Number 9

This challenge has a great army as well. Here are all the troops you will get:

  • x1 level 12 Barbarian Kicker
  • x3 level 11 Giant Throwers
  • x5 level 12 Archers
  • x1 level 9 Goblin
  • x6 level 9 Sneaky Goblins
  • x2 level 10 Super Miners
  • x1 level 8 Bowler
  • x1 level 9 Archer Queen
  • x1 level 11 Lightning Spell
  • x3 Yellow Card Spells
  • x1 level 4 Invisibility Spell
  • x2 level 5 Earthquake Spell

For this level, drop the Archer Queen in the top left-hand corner and then immediately use her power-up so that she will shoot the line of Inferno Towers. You can then drop the Super Miners by the Inferno Towers to finish them up. The Giant Throwers and Barbarian Kicker can go in the bottom left-hand corner. Use the Lightning and Earthquake Spells on the Teslas in the bottom right-hand corner. If there are any left after that, deploy the Bowler.

Finally, the Sneaky Goblins, Goblin, and Archers can be used wherever you see that there needs to be someone coming through to clean up. If don't use the Bowler on the Teslas, you can use it here as well. Then, use the Invisibility Spell on whatever area has the largest amount of your troops. Eventually, you will clear out the entire level!

Haaland's Challenge Level 10 - Trophy Match

On the 10th level of Haaland's Challenge, you will have a pretty big army. This army consists of the following troops:

  • x3 level 12 Barbarian Kickers
  • x2 level 11 Giant Throwers
  • x2 level 12 Super Wall Breakers
  • x2 level 11 Balloons
  • x5 level 9 Healers
  • x16 level 10 Miners
  • x8 level 13 Hog Riders
  • x1 level 4 Apprentice Warden
  • x1 level 5 Siege Barracks
  • x1 level 95 Barbarian King
  • x1 level 95 Archer Queen
  • x1 level 70 Grand Warden
  • x1 level 45 Royal Champion
  • x1 level 10 Healing Spell
  • x3 level 6 Rage Spells
  • x3 level 7 Freeze Spells
  • x1 level 4 Invisibility Spell
  • x1 level 10 Poison Spell
  • x1 level 8 Skeleton Spell

First, drop a Rage Spell by the Town Hall and then drop down your Giant Throwers. Then, drop your Archer Queen and all the healers in the Rage Spell circle. This will take care of the Town Hall and everything around it pretty quickly. Drop the three Barbarian Kickers along the endline on the left-hand side of the base. Once the Archer Queen attracts the opposing reinforcements, use a Freeze Spell and the Skeleton Spell on them.

While all of that is happening, drop the Barbarian King, Super Wall Breaker, and the Siege Barracks at the top left-hand corner of the base. You can also drop the Royal Champion, all the Miners, and the Grand Warden, all within the goal on the left-hand side, and then use a Rage Spell and a Healing Spell on the group. The Apprentice Warden and Balloons can be dropped by the Haaland statue. Finally, use your remaining Spells wherever you see fit to complete the round.

Haaland's Challenge Level 11 - 4-2-2 Formation

This is another relatively simple match, and considering how difficult the final one will be. Here's the army you are given:

  • x4 level 7 Barbarian Kickers
  • x1 level 6 Giant Thrower
  • x1 level 9 Barbarian King
  • x6 Yellow Card Spells

To do this, simply place the Barbarian King by the Royal Champion on the bottom right-hand side of the base. Then, deploy a Barbarian Kicker directly beside the Town Hall. Deploy two more Barbarian Kickers to the two canons at the top, and they will take those out and then the Clan Castle. Finally, drop the other Barbarian Kicker and the Giant Thrower in the middle.

Haaland's Challenge Level 12 - The Impossible Final

This one is called "The Impossible Final" for a reason. It is definitely the hardest one you will take on. Here is your army:

  • x4 level 12 Barbarians
  • x9 level 12 Barbarian Kickers
  • x3 level 11 Giant Throwers
  • x2 level 12 Archers
  • x4 level 12 Wall Breakers
  • x2 level 11 Balloons
  • x5 level 9 Healers
  • x2 level 12 Minions
  • x3 level 8 Ice Golems
  • x 4 level 3 Headhunters
  • x1 level 5 Siege Barracks
  • x1 level 95 Barbarian King
  • x1 level 95 Archer Queen
  • x1 level 70 Grand Warden
  • x1 level 45 Royal Champion
  • x1 level 6 Rage Spell
  • x6 level 4 Invisibility Spells
  • x1 level 5 Recall Spell
  • x3 level 5 Earthquake Spells
  • x1 level 8 Skeleton Spell

This one is extremely difficult to 3-star, and it will take a ton of actions going on at once to be able to do it. First, drop a Barbarian and Grand Warden at the top by the L and A in Haaland. Then use an Earthquake Spell in the middle of the Inferno Towers nearby. Then, once the Grand Warden takes care of everything up top, recall him and place him in the upper-left corner. Place the Archers in the upper-right corner at the same time.

From here, drop the healers by the Grand Warden and a Barbarian by the X-Bow at the bottom-left corner. Place two Barbarian Kickers and two Giant Throwers over by the X-Bows and the Dark Elixir Storage on the right side. Once they are killed, drop two Balloons where they were. The next move is to drop a Barbarian between the A and A in Haaland. Once the trap there is tripped, drop an Ice Golem. Then use an Earthquake Spell on the Inferno Towers.

After doing all of that, you will have a couple of seconds (literally, a couple) before having to turn the Grand Warden invisible. Then, drop the Barbarian King down at that upper-left corner and use his ability to take out the X-Bow and the remaining Inferno Towers there.

Then, drop the Siege Barracks and Headhunters down by the Heroes and use the Rage Spell. Two of the Giant Throwers can be dropped by the Elixir Storage and Inferno Towers at the bottom of the base. Then, drop the Royal Champion on the lower-right side by the Gold Storage and X-Bow. You can drop the final Giant Thrower there to support her.

Finally, place the remaining troops wherever you see fit. If the timing is right, you will be able to do 100% of this. However, you only need 2 stars to get the final prize if you have 100% completed all the others.

Clash of Clans usually has a season each month that players can participate in to obtain special rewards and prizes. To obtain these rewards and prizes, you would usually need to complete certain activities throughout the month to reach each level of the season. This month, the game is teaming up with Manchester City's Erling Haaland to have players take on certain challenges to obtain these prizes.

Other troops, skins & other CoC events happening during Haaland's Challenge

While Haaland's Challenge is the biggest part of the season, a few other interesting things are going on with the game. For starters, a new troop called the Barbarian Kicker is available for anyone Town Hall level 3 and above until May 31, 2024.

Then there is the Medal Event, which will encourage players to attack Town Halls and take out Cannons, Archer Towers, and Inferno Towers to obtain Medals. The event has the following:

  • Giant Throwers: A new temporary troop unlocked for Town Hall 6 and above
  • Yellow Card: A new temporary spell that works identically to Freeze
  • Hero Equipment - Spiky Ball: Allows the Barbarian King to shoot a spiky soccer ball at buildings
  • Football Archer Queen Hero Skin: Available via the Event Shop from the Medal Event

Of course, there will also be the opportunity to purchase skins for the Heroes. While the Archer Queen's skin is obtained via the Medal Event, you can purchase the Barbarian King Haaland, Football Barbarian King, and Football Grand Warden in the Shop. The Football Royal Champion is available with the season's Gold Pass. Finally, you can get Football-themed scenery for your base.
