Boosters/ Blockers: Discussion, Thoughts, Possible changes!

Hi Jellies!! πŸ˜ƒ

When I first played Royal Championship, I did not notice at all that there are two little "helpers", that you can use to "boost" your game!

After some matches, I noticed it, but it took longer to understand that they need red and blue candied to fillup!!

At those days, there were only 2 boosters, practically one booster and one blocker, the pink lollipop and the liquorice lock!

As I remember, it was not needed to select them before the match, as it happens now, thats why I did not notice them in the beginning! πŸ˜€

Well, time passed, things changed, more boosters/blockers added and some of them are very powerful and effective!!

Players changed their in-game strategy!

Now we all base our strategy more in boosters/ blockers!

We have to choose before match the two boosters that we want to use!

Not all of them are available always! Only the two "basic" are available in unlimited basis! Aplayer can find all the others in chests!

This was changed a few times, e.g. last year, for a short period of time all boosters were unlimited, but not all together, they were 2 groups!

Several months ago, for a very short time we could buy boosters using gold bars!

Now we find them in chests!

I have some thoughts about boosters from time to time! You have your own thoughts too, so it is a good idea to share them here and discuss about them!

Maybe we can find some good ideas for the "ideas" section! Some ideas to try make the game better!

I tag some active RC players!

  • I have already post an idea to the "ideas" section last January! It is old and the only reason I talk about it is because I want the discussion to have all related information! πŸ˜‰

    Hello @NikolaosProdromidis

    I agree with you and VOTED

    only to add the Liquorice lock must me active on the second turn and in the arena boards when you create a fish and you use it, always goes to the wrong place or it helps your opponent so or cancel the fish totally or it should move as you want (like click on it and click where you want it to go)

    thank you

    The fish is very crazy! It goes there, where helps the opponent! 😁

    At least, most of the times! πŸ˜‰

    Royal champ … there’s chests? That means when we have uninterrupted wins, correct? Just making sure I understand?

    cheers

    Thanks for the votes to my this 6 months old idea on ideas section! πŸ˜„

    This helped for the idea to "walk" a little bit more, but this was not the reason that I started this discussion! My thinking was about discussing and finding some ideas more!

    Some days ago I was at a very good streak and near a chest, (but not on a chest match).

    And then I see that my next opponent had the two powerful hammers selected!!

    I prepared to loose!

    9/ 10 times I loose against an opponent who has this selection!

    This happens very often lately!

    So, if my previous idea is not going to came in the game, I have an alternative, a "plan B":

    "Just restrict the possibility that someone selects the striped and the wrapped hammer as boosters together"!

    This is my next idea and I want your opinions about, if you like it or not, so that it can be into ideas section!!

    @Nikolaos_Prodromidis I have experience that thing and it could have 2 possibilities: win or lose. We can not predict what will happen next unless cascades help them.

  • Most of the times they win! You can win if:

    • You start first, so you can block early some red/ blue combinations in your opponent's side!
    • Your opponent has not cascades!
    • You get colorbomb or coloring candy to win fast.

    Two boosters are very powerful. I personally prefer always to select a booster and a blocker!

    Hi @Nikolaos_Prodromidis

    I agree with @Nadia1770 :0) Majority of the time I do the same, sometimes I change it up a little. I would like to swap some of my boosters and blockers that are stockpiled, into the Main Board? Mostly, I try to play without them on the main board but they would be of more use to me there:0)

    Not that we use blockers on the main map :0)

    I personally would LOVE if they brought back the option to buy boosters/blockers with your gold bars. That's the only way I would spend gold bars, except for the 24 hour play. I don't use my gold bars to continue a streak, usually you end up losing on the next go round anyway. I can go along with the idea @Nikolaos_Prodromidis suggested having to have a booster and a blocker, not two boosters, but how would that work if a player has two blockers? I have played a few games where a player had two blockers.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
