Its actually not about gold, what you really need is an insane bucket of boosters like lollipops and free switch. Even if you bank thousands of boosters, primary skill you need is speed of completion.
You need to be able to finish any level within 80 seconds, at minimum!! That could be with or without boosters. Doesn't matter how many gold or boosters you have, this is the best skill. I've been playing the tournaments since 2020 and this is my best.
@christinewupp also came to the same calculations of speed.
I know @cookiemae can finish levels that fast without boosters.
I think 80 seconds per level is kind of slow. I can manage close to that with just regular boosters like lollipops and free switches, but it seems like the best results last year were closer to 60 seconds per level. I don't see how I can manage 60 seconds per level without a party booster per level (or maybe super color bombs, if I had them, which I don't think are available in the Star Tournament? I haven't been offered super color bombs in weeks, not even for the new levels). That's the only reason I don't think I have a chance with my current inventory.
I guess it is true that if 80 seconds per level is really fast enough, I am not as well off as you with your 10,000+ boosters of each type, since I can't buy that many with my current gold bars. Your strategy was a good one - save the boosters rather than go for the end of the map. I wasn't thinking ahead to All Stars - I just wanted to get to the end of the map - so I spent my gold bars on the way to finish the map quickly. I hope you are right about 80 seconds per level being fast enough - I wish you the best and am rooting for you - please keep us up-to-date on how you do - I'm looking forward to seeing how far you will go!
You have to remember that 80 seconds per level is not that fast. But you need to add that is has to be done for 96 hours and 24 hours. Maintaining that speed for that duration is actually really hard. The mental exhaustion is real which is why they put them on the weekends.
And yes, being at the end of the map puts you at a disadvantage. Low levels are easier to win and thus complete faster. End map levels require much more concentration.
Tenta limpar o armazenamento e o cachรช do app, lembrando que tu perde os boosters ao fazer isso,somente as barras de ouro que irรฃo se manter amigo.
@christinewuppThe big question is whether it is better to finish the level quickly, knowing that there are still 15 moves left, for example, or to play more slowly and finish the level when there are 1 or 2 moves left? From your experience, what do you consider to be the best option?
I feel the same way! Also, if pay you pay to win! If you donโt pay there is not point!
No strategy, I just play to win the level
My favorite booster for this event is the color bomb.
I plan to make it to the next round
Thanks for asking me about this. This is something I have tried to figure out in some of the tests I have run. It was a tricky one to test out because it depends on what starting boosters/win streak boosters you have to start with and what strategy you are most comfortable with, so it is really difficult to answer. Many of the most purple rich levels are deliberately made to be so easy they finish within a few moves if you play starting boosters on a win streak, even more so if you have a super colour bomb. It can become clear after one or two moves that we have a lucky board. If we try to draw out such a level we will score more purple for that level. However this comes at a cost: It takes more time and how much more time it takes will depend on how you play. For me personally I have found that the difference is not significant, I achieve roughly the same score per hour using either method. In fact if I use boosters liberally, such as using a party popper in every level (depending on the type of board either early on or near the end) I score higher using the speed method. But it may well be different for others using a different strategy.
I would liken the All Stars competition to a mid to long distance race in the Olympics and athletes like Mo Farah. The strategy of the eventual winners is to not take the lead early on but to stay within the front group making sure there is not so much to catch up. Each runner knows their sprint strength. In the last 400 metres then it is time to sprint. In Candy Crush this would mean using a booster saving strategy if this is enough to keep me in the lead or just off the lead. I know my sprint strength is about 180,000 -200,000 purple per hour depending on my level range. So if I see others sprint then I will have to sprint with them and use those party poppers to speed through the levels.
King may also throw so-called "events" at us like the "pins" they have tested out and are now threatening to introduce to more players, which will slow the fastest players down by making the animations between levels so lengthy that they take up more time than the levels themselves. This is yet another way in which King can influence who wins the final leaderboards: Give the best players the events with the longest animations they can't tap to skip through. If they do this to you, then drawing out each level may become the better strategy.
by your calculations, you expect to get between 3.2M to 3.6M in a possible final, considering it lasts 18 hours. Last year, those who qualified scored many more points, but I don't remember if it lasted 18 or 24 hours. Assuming you can pass levels quickly with little use of boosters, is it more beneficial to pass levels quickly with the use of boosters? What I'm getting at is whether someone who is really good at leveling up and doesn't have many boosters will have a chance against someone who uses a party booster on every level.
I am expecting to be crushing for 24 hours if I make it that far, @GiggzZz . The final round has lasted 24 hours in the previous two years as well as this year and the winning scores were around 4.5million. I don't think you can win that round if you take a rest because there will be others who don't rest.
I think someone who is really good can do it with fewer boosters and from what I hear @cookiemae is such a player here in the community. I am not, so I cannot tell you the answer with certainty. It is easy though to calculate your own capabilities right now during the qualifier rounds: Note your score. Play for one hour (or half an hour and double the result) as fast you can. Then note the score again, subtract one from the other and you have your own personal top score per hour. It matters that you calculate this if you are serious about winning this competition.
