Don't Sweat The Super Color Bomb

The Super Color Bomb … Oh what a friend it can be ! In most cases it's your worst enemy . You see the start page of the SCB and proceed to complete the 4 required levels…mind you these 4 levels will be super easy .Now you have it and you will do anything to keep it ( which means not losing even once ).So you start using boosters and gold bars to keep a streak going . Just play regularly as you normally do and if you dont pass a level dont sweat it . The computer knows this and will give you brutal levels to use up your gold and boosters just to keep this great tool .. just enjoy it while you have it …. live life and be happy 🤣

"Just enjoy it while you have it. Live life and be happy."

That's how I deal with the Super Color Bomb. It plays no role in my overall strategy. If I can keep it for a long time, great! If I lose it, oh well. I do just fine without it. I am completely unafraid to nuke my win streak if it means accumulating more gold bars and boosters in the end. Win streak is simply not the number that I want to maximize.

Now that I think about it, the sentence I quoted above applies quite well to my strategy as a whole. The game stays fun because I stick to a per-episode budget, and I respect my own personal limits.

Great info there @T0rr1e ! In fact this is superb!

Yes, there are two versions, i.e. two test groups, one that gets three super chargers and one that gets two. The fact that if you don't try to keep it you will get it back straight away is precious and I can confirm that I have also seen this in my games. In this way the super charger feature "behaves" very much like Candy Royale: It keeps coming up if we fail but for those who love it and use it all the time it will turn up less and less. Now knowing this hints to a good way to prepare for All Stars….

I don't no about the rest of you but the super charger does not bother me if I keep it or loose it, as Christine said it does seem to make the levels harder but if I loose it about 3 games later they will offer it to me again, so sometimes I earn it right when I start the hard games sometimes helpful sometimes I loose it straight away.

This was in the middle of an episode race, I have noticed one thing though, now I only get 2 super bombs and not 3 like I use too.🙂

Very true …. Its a great tool but most of the time its put in a position that is of little use … very rarely does it come up beside each other . Another annoying placement is when its one away from another one and of course your gonna hit that free switch causing you to spend boosters… wonder why they dont offer it to buy with gold … sinister reason for sure

Great stuff !!! … In my previous CC life I had a win streak of over 3000 … not a word of a lie . However … let me tell you It cost me money . Real life dinero . And playing like that was alot more stressful than the way I play now . I no longer care about win streaks or competitions except of course for the episode race and candy royal . and all the other little events . Playing the old way cost me … playing leisurely like i do now I can actually earn plenty of gold instead of spending it . I'm in the 700s and since starting over I have not seen any option for ads … if they come up I will watch them but for now its just me and me alone . And as I really start to understand this game . I will not spend a cent on it . They wont get me again .

You are one of a kind @Nobody1! All those ads and hand switches!

I do know what you mean with your argument. When playing leaderboard competitions I note a similar benefit. Starting off with a super charger combo is very helpful to clear the board and finish a level more quickly, which matters for leaderboard races, and it will save on boosters needed to keep the win streak going. However most players think it will help them actually pass levels they might otherwise fail, and that is definitely not the case. That benefit is an illusion, a myth.

You read my latest post about level difficulty then? I just did a test on this today and found that for levels 441 - 455 the account without the super charger passed the three nightmarish and super hard levels on its first attempt, whereas the account with the super charger failed these and had to pay gold to keep the win streak. So the super charger account faced harder versions of these levels!

And yes, it has not escaped my notice that they give us the super charger four levels into the episode. The following levels are then super easy and do not require any boosters to pass, but when the harder levels come along at the end of the episode the super charger is no help at all. It just finishes the easy levels more quickly and the graphics are fun.

Mostly I agree with this assessment, and I know christinewupp agrees with it! But I would like to point out that if you're one of the crazy ones like me who like to keep win streaks going no matter what (I am currently at the end of the map and I currently have a 1313 win streak going), and are willing to watch lots of ads so you don't have to spend any actual cash, the super color bomb is actually tremendously valuable and worth doing whatever it takes to keep, since it greatly cuts the amount of boosters needed to complete an unlucky board. With the super color bomb, I can complete an episode at the end of the map using only an average of about 25 free switches and lollipop hammers, but without the super color bomb it takes about 60 free switches and lollipop hammers to get through an episode. So the super color bomb allows me to watch less than half as many ads per week to still get through and stay ahead on gold bars, while maintaining my win streak.
