Clash of Clans: How to Beat the Drills and Spills Challenge

fragster James Steward 8. September 2025

New season, new challenges! Clash of Clans has arrived with the first challenge of the month titled Drills and Spills, and as expected, we have a new base to beat. The Mash-A-Rama Season is underway, so here’s a quick guide on how to beat the base.

Introducing the Drills and Spills Challenge in Clash of Clans

Another showcase of the Hero skins based on the new season, and we have a decent troop combination too to finish off the base in question. The base is pretty easy compared to other challenges; just use the strategy, and it is an easy task.

The rewards will be distributed as in previous challenges; you will receive extra resources along with 400 XP, 25 Gems, and 1x Resource Potion. Again, not so much to be excited about.

Step-by-Step Strategy

Destroy Air Sweeper

First, you will have to apply Lightning Spells on the Air Sweeper on the left side of the Town Hall. In case it is destroyed, then air units will be moving without any interference.

Use Earthquake on Spell Tower

Then place Earthquake Spells over the Invisibility Spell Tower. Not only did this strike the tower, but it also weakened the Monoliths surrounding it, making them an easier target thereafter.

Deploy Heroes Early

Drop Barbarian King near the bush on the upper side. Activate his power immediately so that he can break defenses quickly. Then you shift the attack to the right flank.

Push With Ground Troops

Launch two Ice Golems, followed by one Wall Breaker. Once the wall is breached, deploy PEKKA, Yetis, Super Valkyrie, Apprentice Warden, Furnace Queen, Grand Warden, along Healers. Deploy Rage Spells in the center region so these troops destroy the base defenses more quickly.

Begin Air Attack

From the right side, send Balloons and Dragons, as well as the Minion Prince. As soon as Clan Castle troops arrive, cast Poison Spell to remove them. Then apply Skeleton Spell on Monolith, so it remains occupied while your primary push goes on.

Clear Final Section

Deploy Lava Hound and a Wall Breaker close to the tree in the top-right corner. Once the wall is broken, deploy a second Wall Breaker along with two Headhunters. Reserve hero abilities for the endgame, particularly the Warden’s ability when the army is advancing deep.

Last Finishing Moves

Cast Drop Ice Block Spell on the solo-target Inferno Tower so it will not destroy your LavaLoon army. The Minion Prince’s skill deducts the damage taken, and he can be revived again if necessary for a push.

Conclusion

The Drills and Spills Challenge is not that hard, but it requires the proper sequence of spell usage and troop deployment. Through this strategy, a three-star outcome is practically guaranteed, and rewards will be gathered easily. This strategy also demonstrates how air and ground together can conquer challenging event bases successfully.
