You play the two\u00a0games in exactly the same way\u00a0(you\u00a0must collect items of the same type) but the strategies to succeed are different.<\/p>\n<p>After hours and hours of play, successes and failures, I&#8217;ve compiled a sure-fire strategy for getting through the\u00a0levels, losing fewer lives and, ultimately, having more free time to play Farm Heroes Saga!<\/p>\n<h3>The importance of combos<\/h3>\n<p>The essence of Farm Heroes Saga is very simple: meet the plant-gathering objectives indicated. You must always stay within the number of moves given, so the more pieces you delete in a single play, the better.<\/p>\n<p>Making rows with more than 3 items works well not only to fill that particular plant, but also gives you other benefits. So, keep in mind that:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A <strong>row of 4 <\/strong>adds a point\u00a0to all the items you have around you and eliminates those of the same type<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A <strong>row of 5 <\/strong>means all items of the same type on the board\u00a0are\u00a0automatically removed<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t rush! Instead, focus on finding combinations of 4 or 5 and you&#8217;ll reap the\u00a0benefits!<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, unless you keep within\u00a0very few moves,<strong> feel free to create rows of 4 or 5 elements even if they&#8217;re made up of\u00a0a plant that you don&#8217;t actually need for that level<\/strong>. For example, perhaps in one\u00a0level you need to collect strawberries and apples&#8230;but at one point you can form a row with 5 drops of water&#8230;do it! By removing all drops on the screen, it&#8217;s highly likely\u00a0that several more rows will be formed and your count will go up having wasted only one\u00a0single movement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Build up those numbers!\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/numbers-568x487.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"487\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t waste your beans<\/h3>\n<p>Green beans are achieved throughout the levels, and the more you get, the better. They allow you to do two things: <strong>make the levels with <\/strong><strong>Rancid <\/strong><strong>the Raccoon\u00a0easier<\/strong> or buy some boosters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Rancid the Racoon\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/magic-beans-568x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"450\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rancid&#8217;s levels aren&#8217;t hard compared to some normal levels, so don&#8217;t buy help with the beans. It&#8217;s better to <strong>accumulate Magic Beans to buy the shovel booster<\/strong> (for now, there&#8217;s not other way of buying boosters), which will be very useful, as you&#8217;ll soon realize.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Save up for the shovel booster\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/shovel-568x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"460\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Use your boosters wisely<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike other games from King, in Farm Heroes Saga you&#8217;ll always get boosters\u00a0for free &#8211; once you&#8217;ve used a booster\u00a0you\u00a0just have to wait for it to recharge (24 hours) and you can reuse it.<\/p>\n<p>Even though you&#8217;re not going to run out of boosters, though, doesn&#8217;t mean you should waste them. Use your\u00a0head!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"All the available boosters\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/all-the-boosters.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"415\" height=\"178\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My recommendation is that you <strong>wait to use a booster at the end of a level <\/strong>(when you&#8217;ve got\u00a0only 4 or 5 movements left) and that you try not to use more than one per level.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll give you some tips for using each:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shovel<\/strong>: Use it to unlock a locked section (e.g. frozen) that prevents you from making rows. Remember you can buy more with beans<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tractor<\/strong>: Use it\u00a0to eliminate a row with many plants of the type you need, especially if you only have a few moves left<\/li>\n<li><strong>+1<\/strong>: Use it if you only have a few moves but many harvests of all types to get<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dog<\/strong>: Use it when you&#8217;re missing many elements of a particular type and there are many on the level<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg<\/strong>: Opt for this one when there are lots of\u00a0eggs on the screen but they are scattered and you can&#8217;t make combinations with them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pay a visit to Farm Club<\/h3>\n<p>Farm Club is a feature that lists the animals that you&#8217;ve unlocked. If you unlock the three indicated in each one you can <strong>exchange them for different boosters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/Farm-Club-1.jpg\" alt=\"Farm Club\" width=\"150\" height=\"202\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>From time to time make sure you check the\u00a0possible combinations of animals and click on any of them: it&#8217;ll\u00a0direct you to <strong>levels to get more animals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Change the\u00a0boosters that give you the animals when it suits you and remember not to waste them, as I explained in the previous step.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/Farm-Club-2-568x489.jpg\" alt=\"Combine your animals carefully\" width=\"568\" height=\"489\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What you should know about the special boxes<\/h3>\n<p>In Farm Heroes Saga it&#8217;s not all conventional boxes, there are several types of boxes with special characteristics. Here&#8217;s\u00a0a key to better understand them and get more out of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Boxes with flowers<\/strong>: to free these\u00a0you must collect fruit in the adjacent squares. Try to make combinations that match with more than one flower, so less moves are required to free them. For example, in the image below: the carrot combination will affect two flowers at the same\u00a0time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/flowers-568x488.jpg\" alt=\"Flower boxes\" width=\"568\" height=\"488\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eggs and chicks<\/strong>: Three eggs together form a broken shell, and three broken shells equals a baby chick. Note that, unlike other items, collecting more than three pieces of eggs together will generate no special effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/eggs-568x489.jpg\" alt=\"Eggs and chicks\" width=\"568\" height=\"489\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Frost zones<\/strong>: frozen sections can&#8217;t be\u00a0moved and can only be eliminated if you combine identical normal elements. Keep this in mind when advancing and make\u00a0use of the shovel on these pieces to move forward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/frozen-568x495.jpg\" alt=\"Frozen ground\" width=\"568\" height=\"495\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Grassy areas<\/strong>: when you put pieces together in an area of \u200b\u200bgrass, each will give you more points than normal. Therefore, when you&#8217;re in levels with greenery, target your efforts on\u00a0that point to get more points with a single move.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/grass-568x484.jpg\" alt=\"Grassy areas\" width=\"568\" height=\"484\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Enjoy Hero Mode<\/h3>\n<p>If you followed the tips above you&#8217;ll probably have leftover moves on some level;\u00a0take advantage of them to get <strong>high scores<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Hero Mode allows you to use the remaining moves as you like, <strong>without having to worry about objectives<\/strong>.
