Here are some essential hints and tips to help you play Farm Heroes Saga to win!
- Make an adjacent match before going for any quota cropsies. Look for matches beside the cropsies you need. Matching them will boost the value of the ones you're really targeting. This is especially important in cases where a cropsy type is rare or in limited supply.
- Keep your targets in mind. If a match doesn't boost or harvest a target cropsy or set up a chain, it's not really worth wasting a turn making it. Similarly, once you've reached the quota for a particular target, it's best to stop making matches of that cropsy until the others are filled.
- Making matches near the bottom of the play area will benefit you. Making matches lower in the field increases your chances of making a combo when incoming blocks come in. Horizontal matches are better than vertical matches.
- Keep your eyes open for opportunities for special matches, especially five in a row. Matching five cropsies in a row will harvest all of that type of cropsy from the board and usually set off an awesome chain reaction.
- Use your boosters if you need them. If using a booster is the different between passing a stage or failing it, go for it. Just remember to hang onto them until you're almost finished a stage. You don't want to use them only to fail the stage anyway.
- Don't waste your magic beans on the first round against Rancid the Racoon. You'll have to fight Rancid pretty regularly. You do so by collecting a target cropsy to reduce his health to zero. You can use magic beans to give your matches a little more punch, but you should never do so on your first round of any given Rancid stage. Give it at least one play and see if you can manage it without. Beans can be earned by clearing stages. The amount you get corresponds with how many stars you earn.
- Don't use your gold for anything but unlocking gates. The game gives you 50 gold for free. That will unlock five gates with five gold to spare. You can use gold for things like refilling your lives or replenishing your boosters early, but you absolutely should not do this. The sooner you run out of the gold, the sooner (and more frequently) you'll have to bug people on Facebook to get past those gates.
