Explanation:

Shout of triumph" is a straightforward clue pointing to a short exclamation someone might yell when they win or succeed. The answer "HAH!" mimics the sound of a triumphant laugh or taunt, like when a villain gloats or a player celebrates a victory in games or sports. It’s a simple onomatopoeic word—no hidden wordplay or tricks—just a direct match for the emotional outburst described. Think of a cartoon character throwing their hands up and shouting it after outsmarting an opponent.
