According to the official suggestion, one level should not more than 3 minutes, therefore one episode should not more than ........

iv’e just got into other things, sometimes I’m just not in the mood to play games. (Later on I will get back to playing king games)

At that speed, you should play normally and see how far it takes you. You might get lucky and have easy groups and be able to win. Although it looks like you might have a tougher than average qualifying group.

Last week, I played near to 400 levels, starting from level 1. Now, I play 3 episode per day normally. My level is only 500 plus now.

Honestly that speed is likely fast enough for a tournament with such a small prize. It's more about the number of levels you complete, and how efficient you are at them, for a tournament that only wins 150 gold bars. The high speeds are only necessary for the competitions with big prizes.

Of course, you might get unlucky and have someone in your group who really wants to win at all costs, in which case you might have to go fast to win. But if that happens, it's almost certainly not worth it to try.

I responded to Christine's post earlier, but it got locked in moderation. Hopefully it will show up soon.

No, I get through an episode/15 levels in almost an hour. 🤣

Hey Butterfly83 🦋,

Out of curiosity though, is there anything in particular that’s made you drift away from King games lately?
We’re always looking to understand what keeps players coming back or what’s missing so would love to hear your thoughts if you're up for sharing 🙏😊

Most players near the end of the map will claim the opposite. Technically speaking some experts who know how to play the game well and are at the very end of the map playing the Star Tournament can achieve very good scores in such a tournament and that is what Nobody1 meant.

But most players on levels 17,000 - the end will tell you that they have to play multiple strong boosters to pass most levels and many get stuck and leave the game altogether. The levels 1-3000 are easy compared to the rest of the game. These can be played very quickly and so can achieve high scores by playing lots of levels per hour. Levels in the 6000-10,000 range are also good for some events because they tend to still have some good cascades, so these can produce higher scores per level, but they are more gold and booster hungry. These two factors might level out in the same hands. I personally can now achieve similar scores playing at all these level ranges. How good you are depends on each player. If you get through an episode/15 levels in twenty minutes then you should stand a chance in these types of tournaments.

But @Nobody1 says this type of events more favor to players at the end of map.

That is an interesting question, Christine. I wonder if they just cut every round in half to make it easier to win?

I can't understand why there are only five or six players per leaderboard. This is really odd. In fact the pass rate is similar to previous competitions such as All Stars when also half of the starting players qualified. Why change that?

Generally players in the earlier part of the game should find it easier to win such leaderboard competitions. It is in fact players nearing the end of the map who struggle as they have to pay a lot of gold bars to pass levels.

Yes, just 5 for me as well. Clearly the first round is just automatic success. I know I should be spending my time watching ads for the next round, but I'm loving playing the Star Tournament levels, so I keep playing instead despite being double the second place score. Fourth and fifth place aren't even trying - I really need to stop playing until next round.

My ranking now, it's dropping very fast. I will just watch and play casually only. The first place player at level 1800 plus, not near to the end of the map.

Five here as well. Good strategy by King. Why knock out more players than you allow though? Get inexperienced players hooked, reel ‘em in, and watch ‘em spend in the next round. Or maybe I’m just cynical.
