Army composition:

• 8x Electro Dragons
• 8x Ballons
• 1x Super Wall Breaker
• 3x Sneaky Goblins
• 1x Baby Dragon
• 2x Headhunter
• 1x Archer
• Spells: 3x Rage, 3x Freeze, and 2x Skeleton
• Battle Blimp
• Barbarian King+Diggy, Archer Queen+Poison Lizard, Grand Warden+Phoenix, and Champion+Spirit Fox
• Clan Castle Reinforcements: 5x Balloons, a Rocket Dragon, Poison, and Rage Spells

Considering the major attacks in this army composition will be carried out by air troops, destroying the air defenses should be your top priority. Deploy your Heroes at one end of the base, and on the other, spread out the Ballons to absorb lethal attacks of the Air Miners. Next, deploy the Electro Dragons behind your Balloons and aid this procession with the Spells.

Send your Battle Blimp to the base's core and deploy the clan castle troop. This step will help you take down the base's inner defenses, which will facilitate your outer troops to invade the village easily.

Use your Battle Blimp to send your Super Archers to the core of the base. Protect them using the Invisibility Spells while they take down the inner powerful defenses. While these troops are at work, deploy the Root Riders and Barbarian King at the base's outer structure that will pierce through it, followed by the Electro Titans to back this procession up.

Funnel the outer leftover buildings to keep the army inside the base, and use the Spells skillfully to keep your army alive until they get you three stars.

Use Archer Queen with your Healers to keep her alive while she walks through the base destroying buildings and defenses. Keep an eye on her and aid if necessary with Rage Spell or Balloons. Meanwhile, deploy the Barbarian King and Champion to help the queen.

On the base's other side, spread out your Balloons, followed by Dragon Riders and the Grand Warden. If these troops run out of HP, use the Warden's ability to momentarily keep them invulnerable to incoming attacks.

Use your residual troops—Headhunters, Baby Dragons, Minions, Wizards, and Archers—to funnel and destroy the leftover buildings.
