How to 3-star the Portal Challenge

Portal Challenge · 6 – 13 Oct 2026

Ended 13 Oct · Challenge guide

The Totem Throwers carry this one: all three guides say the Minion Prince's new Portal Pendant is not needed. Set the Grand Warden to ground mode before you start.

  1. Bottom corner: deploy the Archer Queen and use her ability right away, so the Healers spawn.
  2. Once the Eagle Artillery is down, drop Totem Spells behind the Logger (3 or 4) so its logs roll away from the Queen. Invisibility on the Queen if she takes too much damage.
  3. Let the Queen take out the Logger and both Fire Spitters, then recall her and redeploy her in the right corner with the last two Healers.
  4. Left corner: the Barbarian King, then the Minion Prince.
  5. Top corner: all Totem Throwers, then the Ruin Witch, the Grand Warden and the Log Launcher last.
  6. Poison the Clan Castle troops as soon as they come out, and keep Totem Spells on the left and right Monoliths.
  7. Redeploy the Minion Prince at the bottom and Revive the King; the Throwers finish the base.

Simpler but less consistent: send everything in from one corner with the Healers on the Warden and save the King and Minion Prince for the other side (two other community guides).
