[Tip] Updated - new name method or v2.0 - Pre-firing Special skill during Titan animation

v2.0 Name Pre-firing method

All your hero special skills can fire at once, the animations just over lap.

You can fire a special skill and then immediately match on the board. The special skill animation and the matching animation will over lap.

You cannot do anything until the titan attack animation is finished.

To pre-fire a special skill, gently, and repeatedly click on the first special skill you want to fire,
Watch the top of the board for the name of the special skill,
When the name of the special skill is displayed, the special skill has triggered ( the titan animation has finished ),
Fire any other specials you want.

Example:
Gently tap on Rigard
Once Purification is displayed, tap Grimm, then Scarlett.

Trick for remembering your next planned match

@Gryphonknight

On iOS you can continue matching while the animations run. I often have 2- 4 animations overlapping when matching. For example I just ran Warcry, Skeletal Summons and matched 4 to create a Dragon shield.

Useless info: On the Boss wave you can even have the Boss explosion overlapping the special skill animations.

Exceptions:
Titan special skills freeze the board until the white flash at the end of their animation.
Killing the last mob in a wave freezes the board until the travel animation ends.

Related, I have a trick for remember my next match. Click on one of the two shields you want to slide. Example if you want to swap a green and a red, you might click the red shield. This shield will get white corner frames, trigger the special, then tap the other shield. Example trigger Sonic Wall then tap the green tile.

For Dragon shields and Power shards, you just have to remember which of the multiple Dragon shields and Power shards on the board you want to trigger.

If time is not of the essence, you can click a shield next to the Dragon shield or Power shard, marking it with white corner frames. However when you click the Dragon shield or Power shard it will try and swap the two and possible reswap them if there is not a valid match.

Bonus Useless Fact

If you tap several special skills in a row, and the last enemy is killed before all are triggered, the game will stop displaying special skill names once it reaches the special skill that killed the last enemy.

Example
Triggering Ramming Pulverizer, Everlasting Wound, Witch Killer and Blade Barrage, will stop at Witch Killer if that kills the last enemy.

This fact discovered because the animation for Everlasting Wound and Witch Killer ( “-Rhymes with Witch- Slap” is the sound effect ) while incredibly awesome, take sooooooooooooooooooo long.

Fire any other specials you want.

What if your hero dies or get debuffed? Should we allow prefiring an antidote too?

I have an alternative, just make a click on the background (not the target) and every specials end instantly, and tiles combos too!

I love to watch a combo x19 against the Titan, but in the end I’d rather it would skip to the end result instantly and save a precious 10 seconds.
