The Middle Play Area (The Gray Zone)
I hope this is not a duplicate discussion, I did try to find a discussion about this but I wasn't able to pull anything up ( It maybe the way I tried to find it/the words I used, etc.)
Every Arena has a common area, the middle play area. My strategy for this is to color as much of my own area before playing in the middle. Sometimes this works, other times it doesn't. But once the middle area is played in and you build from that, how often does your opponent use a lollipop, use a fish and striped candy of your own, or some other way to capitalize on your work?
Most of the day today practically every opponent I have had did this! And in doing so have cost me the game and/or my streak. I know it's the common/middle area and it's fair game, but it's so frustrating when it happens and moreso when it happens a lot. Then all of a sudden the "cascading candies from heaven" opens up for them. Several times today my opponent may have one out of seven for a lollipop and zero out of eight for a blocker. In one move from what you have built in the middle area, all of a sudden they have a blocker, then a lollipop, uses the lollipop and another blocker is there plus another lollipop.
Can I get a break too? πππ
Please don't take this as a gripe, it's not meant for that. I am just wondering if/how many times you have come across this? Usually I am in the lead on my leaderboard so it doesn't hurt a lot. πππ
Hope to hear from my Community!
May the "candy gods" be with you!

Hi @NatalieG!
Very interesting discussion with a lot to say! π
For the beginning I say that I just won a level on Arena 12, using my opponent's accidentally created colorbomb in the middle area! π
But the main rule is that I mostly loose my accidentally created colorbombs in the middle area! π

As a general rule, I often lose my accidentally every thing in the middle. Yesterday was especially hard because it seemed like every other game I was losing mine and if they created it, I was losing that as well.
Glad to hear you got to get the upper βοΈ!!!!

@NatalieG, there is another important tip in the Middle Area. When you are ready to play your second move and you see that there is a colorbomb ready to be created, you don't leave it for your opponent, but you destroy the combination! ππ

Thanks for the tip. I will put it to very good use! ππΏππΏ

Today I have run into those with the double hammers unlocking my colorbomb with the basic hammer, then using the wrapped or stripped hammer to play my then unlocked colorbomb. It makes me want to disconnect, but I don't. π€¨π€¨ It's getting on my nerves though.
If they bring back the option to buy boosters and blockers, they would be in trouble!! I would keep a supply of the most powerful boosters and blockers. Almost makes me want to unleash my fishnet and cupcake blockers, only problem, I can't tell when my opponent will have two hammers. I wish the studio could distinguish between players using both hammers to only pair them with an opponent who is also doing so. If not, I am ALL for your idea of stopping that all together.

@NatalieG, as I mentioned in previous posts, many of these players are players who play only a few levels, they use all of their boosters too early, when they earn them and then they just quit. But this is enough to destroy the strategy and streak of others who want to proceed further......

That's exactly what I am talking about. Nine out if ten times, my opponent has used what I happen to create either by chance or deliberately by my play. Only a few times have I been able to capitalize on something they created. It's disheartening when this happens but that's how the cookie crumbles some time. I most certainly wish that it's the other way around or at least half the time.

@NatalieG, @Nadia1770, here is a very rare situation, when I used my opponent's accidentally created colorbomb! π
Opened the second colorbomb using a lollipop and combined them together, winning the match! ππ
Screenshots are recent!

Now that's what I like to see! Way to go!!!! I bet it was a "bot" and I'm glad you got the win!
