Special Cropsies and Obstacles In Farm Heroes Saga

A brief explanation of some of the special cropsies and obstacles in Farm Heroes Saga

Flowers: Flowers are the first special cropsy you will see in Farm Heroes Saga. You need to make matches adjacent to them four times to collect them.

They will remain stationary until you do so, blocking other cropsies getting in the way.

Your best bet with these is to try to make matches such that you're hitting two or more at a time.

If you pick them off one at a time, you'll probably run out of moves before you hit your target.

If you can set up a chain, each match that falls beside the flower will count towards removing it, making short work of them.

Chicks: You need to match three eggs to make one cracked egg, then match three of those to produce one chick.

Matching four or five will still produce the same result: one cracked egg. 

Ice: Removing ice is easy you just have to make a match with the cropsy found inside.

When you do this, the game will treat it like a regular match but instead of removing the cropsy, only the ice will come off the board, leaving the cropsy behind.

You can actually make special combinations with iced cropsies and they'll work, but they'll always leave that last one behind. 

Grass: This one is actually a positive all around. Matching cropsies on grass tiles adds to their value.

You can use grass to restore grumpy cropsies.  Grass can be created if you have seeds and water simply by swapping them, but you won't see seeds for quite some time. 

Buckets: When you make enough matches adjacent to them, buckets will spit out a few water cropsies randomly around the field. The properties of water buckets can make them friend or foe in equal measures. Since the water they spew randomly overwrites another cropsy, they can mess up your planned matches. If they're in an easily accessible area, you can end up getting flooded with water cropsies and not have enough of the other targets on the board. You'll often have to dig your way through flowers or ice to get at them, but remember you only need to access one side of them to produce water.

Grumpy Cropsies: You can make a grumpy cropsy happy again with the mood-altering power of grass. If a grumpy cropsy lands on a grass tile, it will change back to a normal cropsy.
