[danalexsmith]

So great being able to hear an experienced players thinking. Thanks so much!

[gaiustimitrius]

Good video Avicious! The biggest takeaway for me was "work from the top down." Thanks!

One thing to remember is that if moved fast enough bombs can be used in combinations. But as you said if they are only selected than they just explode. Great video Avicious. See ya back in E&P.

I learned so much, especially that I need to look for possible linked combos, not just 3's. I needed this to help beat monsters. I subscribed.

[mihaelaalinaavram]

Oh, wow! I just watched the tutorial and went playing "from the top", amazing :)! Thanks, great advice!

[Genaeve]

I was under the impression I had limited time to make my play. Thank you :)

[olafweiske]

thx for the video, it will help me a lot. at 12:00 you could have moved the far right purple for the combo with the bum+extra yellow, instead of just clicking the bum.

[stevenmielke]

A very pleasant watch, and well explained. I enjoyed it.

Thanks for the strategy explanation. I have never played candy crush, Tetris yes, not the same. I am using the ghosting technique nw to build up the special powers in my soldiers prior to entering the next level.

I have a constant lack of food. I only have 4 farms, so I send my "adventure farmers" out to gather more. Then I always have too many recruits, so then I feel the need to train...which uses food, and gains heroes...

Then I have too many heroes so I level them...which uses more food...

Do I maybe just let my recruits overflow so I can have enough food?

I'm trying to research at the forge, among other things.

Thanks in advance & I love all of the helpful videos!

hey avic ! . Raduk here bud ... .. enjoying your videos like always ... well .. I saw the 8:15 bug ... and wrote a very extensive msg .. only to see that itchybeard bit me to the punch .. he he . well bud .. it was only to say hello .. and at 10:33 I would go with the purple diamond on the far Wright instead of the middle one ... because had a nice 3 red combination also ... Keep up the good work .. and Zebra send his regards ! ...

[lothsdrow]

The very first move could have set up to make a blue diamond by making a yellow combo horizontally top right. switching the red and yellow gem

[noeliaescobedo]

Thank you!!! this really did Help Me..

[ErinLeona]

So you'd go for 4 matches over color match (well opposite color I guess, blue v. red, yellow v. purple etc)? Or is it because of Wu Kong and an easier lvl, making color of gems not matter?

[MrBazzah]

Hey avicious, loving the videos keep them coming. I saw something in the video which I don't understand. At 8:15 you kill the last enemy and have a line of 5 red gems. They don't explode and the tiles switch and some greens explode instead. How did that happen?

[autoshopua]

Great video... Please explain what does the tip at the top left corner means! it says Use elements to your advantage. Hit a weaker element for double damage!
What does that mean and how to benefit from it?

Thanks

[mctonyward]

first move could of been better drop 3 yellow top right of the board would of set you up for 5 blues in middle

[allandrake]

Watched the entire thing to find out how do you know what gems are strongest? Not answered anywhere else either. Twice in video a comment was said like "Blues are more effective ..." but why or how do you know that????
