Unlike regular attacks, this is a manual-control challenge: you steer the Royal Champion directly through a compact base packed with Ricochet Cannons and Wizard swarms. Completing it once earns 25 Gems, 400 XP and a Builder Potion. Here is how the event works and how to secure the 3-star clear. ### A hero-only challenge In most Clash of Clans events you pick an army and watch it fight. Ricochet Rumble flips that: the Royal Champion is the only unit you control, and you move her by tapping, dodging Ricochet Cannon fire and Wizard volleys in real time. Her health and ability charge are your only resources, so every tap counts. ### The Azure Dragons turn the tide Midway through the challenge, Azure Dragons unlock as bonus troops: one sits in your army camp for the whole event without taking housing space. Release them on the Ricochet Cannons in the middle of the base and they clear the weapons that would otherwise shred the Royal Champion. Save them for that combat moment — using them early wastes the event's main tool. ### A 3-star path that works Community guides converge on the same loop: clear the outer ring first to reduce incoming damage, then send the Royal Champion toward the Air Defenses and Archer Towers. Her aura damage chews through weaker troops like Ice Wizards while the Azure Dragons handle the central Ricochet Cannons. When the dragons appear, drop them on the cannons, finish the last side of the base with clean positioning, and avoid cannon fire on the way out. In practice, rushing is the fastest way to fail: there is no timer, retries are free, and the Royal Champion loses health or ability charge if you sprint into a cannon. Slow taps, clean pathing and patience turn a 3-star clear into a formality. ### Rewards and schedule The challenge runs from August 2 to August 10, 2025. Completing it once is enough: the reward track pays 400 XP, 25 Gems and a Builder Potion, and the Azure Dragons stay available in multiplayer battles until the event ends. There is no entry cost, and failed battle attempts can be retried for free as many times as you need. ### Conclusion Ricochet Rumble is the first manually controlled challenge of the season, and it plays nothing like a standard multiplayer attack. The risk is muscle memory: players used to dropping an army will sprint the Royal Champion into a Ricochet Cannon and burn a run. If you play Clash of Clans daily, the 25 Gems and Builder Potion are free value for one patient clear. For players who enjoy hero control in battle, this challenge pays off in a single afternoon. ## See also - [Clash of Clans — Barbarian's Odyssey: how to get the most out of the July 2026 Summer Jam](https://after-strategy.com/en/clash-of-clans-barbarians-odyssey-summer-jam-july-2026/) - [All mobile games](https://after-strategy.com/en/categorie/mobile/) ## Sources - [GamingOnPhone — Ricochet Rumble 3-star guide](https://gamingonphone.com/guides/clash-of-clans-how-to-beat-the-ricochet-rumble-challenge/) - [Sportskeeda — schedule, rewards and strategy](https://www.sportskeeda.com/mobile-games/ricochet-rumble-challenge-clash-clans-schedule-get-three-stars-and-more) - [Clash With Hide — full walkthrough](https://www.clashwithhide.com/how-to-beat-ricochet-rumble-clash-of-clans/) - [LDPlayer — Royal Champion control guide](https://www.ldplayer.net/blog/ricochet-rumble-challenge-clash-of-clans.html) - [Bases CoC — August 2025 challenge tips](https://bases-coc.com/easily-get-3-stars-ricochet-rumble-challenge-august-2025/) - [TechStory — how to beat Ricochet Rumble](https://techstory.in/how-to-beat-ricochet-rumble-clash-of-clans/) - [GameFAQs — event announcement coverage](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/news?id=193659) - [Official Clash of Clans Google Play page](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.clashofclans) - [Official Clash of Clans website](https://supercell.com/en/games/clashofclans/) ## Frequently asked questions ### When is the Ricochet Rumble Challenge?
