Hello,
I'm almost level 50
And I want to understand how to play strategically
Sign in or create an account to join the fun.
all right
in fact I play normally
it depends on whether the system wants me to win
My recommendations would be to:
When you reach a difficult level, it’s a good idea to take a moment and develop a strategy. Just looking at the layout can help you understand the level and your objectives better.
You’ll want to pay attention to:
You’ll usually find clues along the way, so pay close attention to them – they will draw your attention to what you need to tackle.
Also, a more strategic approach will help you to use your moves carefully. On the toughest levels, every move really does count!
#2 Use your Boosters effectively
Across our games, you’ll find lots of exciting and powerful Boosters that can boost your gameplay and help you to cruise through levels.
These Boosters are especially important on tough levels. Here’s how you might want to think about Boosters when you’re stuck:
Make the most of your Boosters, and you’ll be able to tackle any challenge!
It can be tough to start the same level multiple times, but the random layouts in our games mean that each attempt is a fresh opportunity!
To make the most of each attempt, take some time to assess the level and develop your strategy. If you’re able to adapt your skills, you’ll be able to take on the toughest challenges across our games.
Some random layouts might give you an advantage, so capitalize on those moments. With the right layout, you might even be able to make a few mistakes and still succeed!
Sometimes a fresh perspective and a handy tip can help you to pass a tricky level.
As you can see our active Community is filled with amazing players who love to exchange tips and tricks to pass even the hardest of levels.
Give it time. There is no rush, and it can be confusing, so many choices, frustrating etc. Think of it like learning chess, or poker. It's not just the moves you need to learn, it's about your opponents as well. Some have brains like super computers, and can see 40 moves ahead in an instant, and if just starting out you have a hard enough time finding just the next move, learning combinations. Somre have money to buy lives, candies, and 12 hrs a day online, some don't.
Always elements of chance,as well in any game/system. That helps others win, as it can randomly knock out a the strong players, and give others a chance to win too. This game can be played for years, and is not really meant to reach the end. Continuous challenge, no boss level game completion. I'm still learning, getting better, faster, developing thinking ahead. If you get stuck on a level, other players may be able to give advice.
Enjoy!
Perfectly put!
I have a lot of trouble with everything you've mentioned.
There's still strategy involved. Everything we are mentioning is stiil strategy. Strategies to work around the system. Still also need to have a good eye for mutiple moves, planning moves ahead, thinking outside the box, and figuring out how certain boards move/work so you can make better choices in moves, and use of hammers, etc. It's just there is no cheat code one size all fits approach to win every time. It's all strategic, otherwise it would be too easy, and no one would actually win competitions using their strategies to beat the system and board (we'd all zip through at equal pace). If the game was easy, you'd get bored easily, and not really be getting any brain training, problem solving, strategy developing benefits that come from playing
I agree,
So save gold and accessories
to pass levels
do as many combos as possible, since there's no strategy involved
Some good tips there. Personally I quite like the striped candy booster and often buy some of those. They can be placed next to a colour bomb or wrapped candy to help in blocked up boards. I also always keep one or two lollipop hammers and switches in case that is all I need on my last move. Switches are great for freeing gummi dragons stuck above a ton of blockers.
If a level looks unachievable I don't use boosters but wait for the +60 moves and then pay gold to move on, in fact sometimes by this stage the game lets you pass anyway with a lucky board. As you said @Enby it pays to have lots of lives from friends so you can play an episode race quickly. I have found that number of tries does NOT play a part in whether you win an episode race. It seems to be number of logins and real time that passes. So having lots of lives or indefinite lives will help win episode races.
Yes, I definitely agree, if it stops being fun, stop playing.
Honestly didn't think to look at YouTube videos. These are all great tips, and things I've noticed as well. Sometimes the suggested moves are helpful, and other times they are are not. You also need to look critically at the whole board, and think several moves ahead, especially if you see that the candy in the area immediately surrounding what you are trying to blast away will not help. Yes, I agree take breaks. I do not spend my personal money on any extra lives or boosters. Not worth it. Never start a new level race if you don't have a lot time to complete it (faster completion=higher chance of getting in game gold bars at end). Watch all the ads. Send invites to people in-game to be friends. Send each other lives regularly, and unsolicited. Limit asking for lives a whole lot for best response and friendships. Honestly, the game will let you out. Enter any and all contest you see on this page, you may win the special prize/bar boosters. Worth trying. Hknestly, the game will give you a lucky board, and eventually let you pass a level you are stuck on. Some of the hardest levels mean you need to pass them without boosters, as those boosters can actually create more problems and destroy vital candies. Sometimes having too many boosters will also do this. If you have gold bars, you can click on the image of a fish, chocolate bomb, etc and buy them. Buy the 30 min ones, it's the best option. Fish are the cheapest. It's also cheaper than buying rescue boosters, etc if you get stuck. You will start to develop your strategy, and seeing more possibilities for choices the more you experiment, and experience you gain. Be patient, take breaks if you get frustrated, and most importantly, remember it is a game and meant to be for pleasure/brain training, and let go expectations of yourself and competition mindset
I'm still a long way from those levels
There is no simple strategy to get through level in general.
In fact I would advise you against playing Candy Crush at the moment. The levels have been made too hard because of the Candy Cup. New players will not get past level 225, 235, 240 or 245 without spending their gold. At least one of those levels will see you get stuck. Time to go outside and enjoy the sunshine instead.
so there's no need to know any strategy to get through the levels
Sorry, my French is not that great either, and unfortunately the moderators will block any posts that are not English.
Yes, there is strategy.
You need to look for opportunities to make special candies to pass easy levels.
Recognise levels that have been manipulated to block you and do not waste gold bars on those. Replay those until they let you pass.
Check out the videos posted on YouTube if you do not know how to pass a level.
I'm French and I don't understand
the translation is not good at all
Some levels are like that, those are the lucky boards that make colour bombs drop out of seemingly nowhere. On most levels you need to look at the board and see what opportunities there are to get combos of striped and wrapped candies etc. You need to look at what is required and match candies to fulfil the order. Watching the YouTube videos helps, they usually show you how best to pass. But it does depend on what candies drop from the top, and those are determined by an algorithm, which is not random. What you make out of those candies, that is up to you and it does matter if you know how to take advantage of opportunities.
so if I understand correctly,
I play normally without bothering and the algorithm will take me through the level quickly or very slowly.
No, not chance really. It is manipulation by the level designers. They decide who gets to pass a level and when they will pass it.
I believe that they assign players to different groups at the start and do constant test features to see which type of game will make the most players spend money on the game in the longer run. For example some players get ads to watch for extra moves, others don't. Some get lots of easy levels, lots of lucky boards and events like the candy necklace (win streak) really early on, others much later. I guess it's luck which group you are allocated in, but eventually it levels out. Your strategy should be to beat the algorithms that are Candy Crush. They can be beaten. I am still able to reach the end of the map at intervals, though it can be more of a chore than fun.
Agreed.
So there's no strategy involved
So cesh du hasard ?
The main point you need to be aware of as a new player is that the game is very manipulative, it wants players to think they are good at the game, get addicted and ultimately spend money. It is not actually so much of a strategy game as you would think. There are easy and difficult versions of each of the levels. Some players get a "lucky board" which lets you pass with ease on their first try, some on their second try, some when they have one life left, some not until in the next day. I would advise you against buying extra moves until you have tried a level several times, and only buy extra moves with gold if you are really stuck and if you can definitely see that you will pass the level with the one set of extra moves. Boosters can be very useful and should be used wisely. Gold is precious and should be saved up for later in the game when it gets really tough to progress without it. Don't spend real money. Players who do find they get fewer offers to get free boosters.
Playing strategy differs from player to player, but my strategy is to try to earn gold by winning episode races. These start at level 67 and are about the only means to earn gold. They are not a real time event and pit you against players who played long before you. To win the episode race try to play in as few sessions as possible. If you complete an entire episode in a single run you will always win it.
