If you are thinking of competing, let me give you some tips that I wish someone gave me
Ucla/dator method:
We use all of the same color to charge mana at the same time
Stages 1-5
-combos are key on these. The higher scores will result with the higher the combos in the fewest moves. You also need to have those combos in the color you brought to charge your mana. The ideal is one move resulting with a 5+ combo charging all your fast mana. This is why you see all the top placers fleeing! Boards like that are hard to find.
6-10 have multiple bosses so they canāt be killed with items alone. These we look for a way to make a diamond within the first move and knock down the first two stages with items. Save the diamond for the bosses. Mana up your shield downs and hope the tiles kill the bosses.
10 we may be unique but I use wu because I need that tile damage to knock out the bosses in as few moves as possible. It is a risk but with great reward.
Actually everythingās ready for next Teltoc. Iāve been preparing for a year now. Sad story: last time I didnāt know exactly how those combos work and finished 12th consuming 300+ of items / 40 world flags. (Here comes the sad part) immediately after the end I found Wharflordās help regarding those bloody combos. I thought I was gonnaā cry.
Iām not really interested in any other event thatās why Iām stacking that huge amount of battle items / flags and thoā now kainboy is trying to scare me, Iām planning to be the first next time.
I have everything whatās needed, hopefully thatāll be enough. Now Iām only collecting every last drop of intel that may add something plus help.
Thanks for your streams / tips - you sound like a lovely couple, a double dynamite.
I play with my wife too. She used to collect my hamsā¦
@Kerberusz you shouldnād bei scared. I will be in major holidays and will not take the time to even participate. Will be a break of almost 5 weeks from this game.
Hahaha I knew it would come back to haunt me and it didā¦thatās ok @Kerridoc earned it. That 10 was definitely the losing score. Spent all that Saturday trying to improve it. So not like a lack of trying it just was not meant to be sometimes the boards just do not cooperate
That was a brutal win. I am scarred for life. The knowledge that @Uclapack and @dator could at any moment unseat my spot was physically painful. I doubt Iāll go,through that again!
Lol I know that feeling all too wellā¦every time @Wharflord passes me. Truly masters at the event. It was very cool to see @Kainboy put up such a high score! And thanks for doing it so soon
@Kerberusz Iām sitting out guardians so thatās another person you donāt have to worry about
Our scores look quite similar just a few thousand difference here and there, I remember thinking āhow the heck do they get such high scores??ā Because I finished every stage in under 45 seconds except level 10 took about a minute. Stage 5 and under I completed in 30-35 seconds.
I didnāt come 15th though I came 19th, this was just the only picture I took.
That was with only 50 bombs and mana pots though. I could only try for a good score on each stage once lol. I had a ton of WE flasks and just fled a bunch of boards looking for a good one and gave it one good try on each stage. Thatās why my stage3 score is lower than stage2 score and never got improved.
That is cutting it close. I usually use about 100 bombs, axes, mana for epic. Finished each one around 35 seconds. The match bonus plays a big role in the earlier levels. I usually look for a 6+ combo in the first move.
The feeling is mutual Watching the leaderboard in the last hour of an event is the most stressful thing Iāve done in the last 5 years. You could also teach me a thing or two about Legendary. I still havenāt managed to beat you, Dator, or Zero despite my best efforts. Maybe you could let me get Arthur next time around
You finish stage ten in around 35 seconds? How is that even possible lol. For stage ten I waited until I saw a board that had a red diamond and some tiles to spare, mostly killed the mobs with axes, arrows and bombs; finish them with a tile match, mana up for bosses and use all specials and then set off a big cascade. I only made 3 tile moves too. How do you finish it in 35 seconds??
I make 2 moves. The first one is in the first round trying to make a combo that creates the diamond for me while charging mana to half from the combo. Knock out the minions with items. Use the mana to fill everyone use specials and hit the diamond. Hope that it combos and fills specials to finish bosses. Those boards are not really the easiest to find. For example my guardians 10 i couldnāt find one.
I have more WE flags than most (55) and they are never full. When I started pushing events I had a massive storage of ingredients. I had over 1k roots. I am just now starting to run low. I hardly ever use roots on medium mana though. I usually get plenty of those from titans, chests, MV.
Iām planning on sitting out both guardians and knights to rebuild some ingredients. Plus it is a lot less stressful watching others battle for first
