🔥 Final Knockouts Have Started – Will You Make It to the Top? 🏆

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3315111#Comment_3315111

That's what I did last year. I would recommend anyone wanting to do this should not bank a "suspicious" amount of gold as King will deny such players access to the event and then you will have created that account all for nothing. I would suggest you play on two or three devices and use the gold to buy boosters and then share these out over the different devices, so you have no "suspicious" amount on any device nor a "suspicious" amount of gold. Then again, by All Stars 2026 King will have changed the rules of play and access again, so whatever you do to prepare it will probably be pointless. And tediously boring.

If I was preparing for 2026 all star, I would create a new account, start from level 0 and strategically level up and start banking boosters/gold now. Starting a low level is ideal for the tournament.

Change the music to "boss raid themes" if any past All-Stars finalists are on that board.

I thought you had to be at a certain level to even play so if he started the account today his boards would be a lot easier but he wouldn't be able to play he didn't qualify in rounds 1,2,3you know maybe I'm wrong

"If you get in a bad streak, take a break..."

Check the boards frequently. If their win streak is broken, it will be your opportunity to take the lead since their attack and defense powers are lowered (as well as losing the Super Charger). But beware that they can perform a counterattack on you depending on how many failed attempts occurred on any one level.

LOL just exactly the kind of music you'd expect Candy Crush players to listen to!

Save boosters and play alit, if you get in a bad streak, take a brake .. but not to long, GOOD LUCK

Any advice on when you think the last groups will be created? For sure first group is fill fast but maybe the last ones are fill a bit slower and much later… not sure since this is the first all stars that I played.

No you are not way off. The majority of elite players score around 200,000 an hour. So 200,000x24 is 4.8 million. I will expect scores in the 4-5.6 million range

No problem, I thought it was not quite in the scientific sense of the word that you used it. I'm a scientist at heart and that's why I pointed it out. The way the initial board is set up is definitely written by King. It's their way to manipulate player behaviour, especially with regards to whether our two colour bombs are place side by side on the initial board. That is not chance, it's designed if we get it or not.

Good luck to you in round 3!

Thanks for the advice. I have read a lot of stuff you posted and I appreciate your guidance. I’ve also been told you are a great person to listen to on here, so I’ll take that into consideration and make a decision before Saturday. What range of score do you estimate it will take to advance. I’m estimating it will take somewhere between 4 or 5,000,000 in a 24 hour period to be in first for these groups. That’s as much as I had for all of round 2. Am I way off on that number?

Fair enough. I know there's repetition in the coding, ofc there would be, though for the broad terms of how candy drops and way board starts for the in game levels it's fairly "random".

Unsure what tournament final is like as I've never watched it or seen past events on YT. My first year patiticipating despite casually playing for over a decade.

Sorry if I've caused any confusion with my statement, just seemed random was a good generic phrase to use given the context of the question asked and my opinion answer.

Good luck everyone in final KO.

I must correct you here @FullmetalAlex You stated that "the algorithm is randomised". This is not correct. The algorithms are not random in Candy Crush. Nothing is random in this game. King control each board we play, on each and every level. So if we pass on our first attempt is pre determined by King's design team and never random! King change the algorithms every week so to appear "random" but that is all an illusion, like so much else in Candy Crush.

No, @Mjude don't buy any gold. Having read what you state here I would strongly advise you against spending any money for round 3. This is because you have already used up all your gold bars, so you got as far as you can get, which is a great achievement in itself. But in order to stand a chance in round 3 you would really have to still have a good amount of gold and boosters left at the start. Each round gets exponentially harder than the previous round. To remain competitive in round 3 you would have to spend hundreds of dollars, if your account approaches that round with no gold at all. You'd just be wasting good money for nothing. To put this in context: I spent 2000 gold to get to round 3, but I do still have 20,000 gold in my account to compete in round 3. I hope this makes it clear what I mean.

If you are considering spending real money on gold bars to stay competitive in the last round, please calculate how much money you will really need to spend to stay competitive. It will probably be a lot - ask yourself if it is worth it to you. You will need to score probably well over 4 million during the 24 hours to have a chance to win, so calculate accordingly.

Doing so is not frowned upon, but probably most good players save up the gold bars in advance without paying money for them. Also remember that once you make a purchase, you will probably never receive in game ads again!

@morganleeoregon That's good news and very interesting.
