If you don&#8217;t\u00a0want the evil pigs to take you out in the first level, then check out our <strong>expert tips<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>No slingshot, no\u00a0karts. The new game in the Angry Birds saga brings us an exciting new universe: <strong>an RPG turn-based<\/strong> approach. The good thing about Angry Birds Epic\u00a0is that it&#8217;s very simple to play, so you don&#8217;t need to have tried Final Fantasy-style games to be able to pick it up.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t\u00a0mean, however, that Angry Birds Epic is a piece of cake and if you want to get easily from level to level then there are a number of things to consider. Today I took the time to look into it and I&#8217;ve rounded up eight <strong>strategies <\/strong>to allow you to master Rovio&#8217;s new game.<\/p>\n<h3>Before battle, check your inventory and create everything you can<\/h3>\n<p>Before each battle make sure you look over your inventory and see what objects have been collected at roulette or chests. With some of them you can<strong> create useful items<\/strong> like potions for restoring\u00a0life.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve checked the material you can <strong>make your way to the anvil or the magic cauldron<\/strong> to create new objects that will be available for your next fight.<\/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\/inventory-568x426.png\" alt=\"Angry Birds Epic: consumables\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Eliminate small enemies straight away<\/h3>\n<p>In many of the Angry Birds Epic\u00a0levels you&#8217;ll be fighting<strong> multiple enemies<\/strong> at once. Your first instinct might be to take care of\u00a0the most powerful enemy and leave the little guys to the end &#8230; <em>do not do this<\/em>, do the exact opposite!<\/p>\n<p>Eliminate the little pigs first\u00a0as they&#8217;re easier to kill and once you do you&#8217;ll have less plays where you&#8217;re\u00a0attacked every turn. To do this, focus all your efforts on one enemy: <strong>always attack\u00a0the same one and only move on to the next one when you have eliminated the first one.<\/strong><\/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\/small-pigs-568x426.png\" alt=\"Take out small enemies first\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Take advantage of delayed enemies&#8217; attack<\/h3>\n<p>But there is an exception to the\u00a0rule above, and that&#8217;s with enemies who don&#8217;t attack at each turn. These pigs are characterized by a meter that fills up in parts. This\u00a0means they don&#8217;t attack each turn &#8211; they have to wait until their <strong>attack bar <\/strong>fills, usually in two or three goes. Of course, when they&#8217;re ready to attack, they tend\u00a0to hit hard.<\/p>\n<p>Take advantage of the first few turns where they don&#8217;t attack you to attack them mercilessly, it will\u00a0weaken them and might, hopefully, eliminate them before they&#8217;re able to attack you. And in the last turn when they&#8217;re not attacking, <strong>focus your energy on\u00a0protecting the person who is their\u00a0goal with your shield<\/strong> (their face is shown on the pig&#8217;s\u00a0meter).<\/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\/big-pig-568x426.png\" alt=\"Delayed attacks can provide an advantage\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Dominate with\u00a0teamwork<\/h3>\n<p>The Red Bird is the first thing you control in Angry Birds Epic. Soon he&#8217;s joined\u00a0by his yellow colleague. <strong>The red bird makes individual attacks while the yellow bird takes charge of group ones<\/strong>. Keep this feature in mind when you&#8217;re attacking.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, try this: if there&#8217;s an enemy with a low life bar, <strong>attack with the bird who makes the group attacks<\/strong><strong> first<\/strong>. That way you&#8217;ll finish him off and can start chipping away at another enemy with the individual-attack bird. This way you&#8217;ll get the best performance out of the abilities of each character.<\/p>\n<p>Also,<strong> check out the different combinations with the various birds you&#8217;ll unlock in the game<\/strong>: each has abilities that make them more suitable for dealing with one enemy or another.<\/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\/attack-order-568x426.png\" alt=\"Teamwork will help you win\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Keep your chilli for tricky moments<\/h3>\n<p>While you&#8217;re\u00a0attacking or taking hits, the chilli fills up, which gives you a super attack when you activate it\u00a0on a character. Even when it does fill up though, <strong>it&#8217;s better to wait <\/strong>until you have a really good reason for using it.<\/p>\n<p>For example, use it to finish off enemies who have a full life bar or even to attack the <strong>biggest, most powerful enemy<\/strong> in the level.<\/p>\n<p>Also note that if you use the chilli on <strong>more than one character who still has lives<\/strong> then the attack that&#8217;s created is more powerful, and will remain active on more than one\u00a0character even if you haven&#8217;t activated the enhancer.<\/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\/guindilla-568x426.png\" alt=\"Save the chilli until you need it\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t\u00a0waste potions and other special items<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;re halfway through a level, a character is about to die and the other one isn&#8217;t exactly full of beans. Should you use a potion to strengthen the weak one, or revive the dying one? Weigh up each situation, <strong>as often you&#8217;ll use the potion, but lose anyway<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Only administer potions in advanced stages of a battle and if you know you&#8217;ve got a high chance\u00a0of winning. If not, you won&#8217;t lose a potion and anyway, you <strong>can always repeat the level.<\/strong><\/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\/potion-568x426.png\" alt=\"The same for potions....\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Move up levels by repeating past levels<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the tips we&#8217;ve given above, you&#8217;re probably not going to pass Angry Birds Epic levels on the first go. This doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re not playing well, it&#8217;s just because the <strong>characters don&#8217;t have much experience<\/strong>. This is easy is fix: just repeat\u00a0previous levels.<\/p>\n<p>To repeat a previous level just to go to the island\u00a0screen and <strong>select\u00a0any completed level<\/strong>. As you&#8217;ve already done them it won&#8217;t\u00a0be difficult to complete, plus your characters are already experienced and the enemies you eliminated\u00a0before will be easier this time around.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you don&#8217;t pass the\u00a0level on your second go you&#8217;ll still be<strong> gaining experience<\/strong>, but of course, it&#8217;s better if you manage to pass it, as it&#8217;ll also\u00a0bring you new rewards:\u00a0the more stars you get, the more prizes you&#8217;ll win in roulette to add to your inventory.<\/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\/levels-568x426.png\" alt=\"Don't be reluctant to repeat levels\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Repeat levels depending on the ingredients and resources you need<\/h3>\n<p>You can repeat old levels as you wish, or you can go a little further and repeat levels that are worth more in terms of rewards\u00a0 &#8211; <strong>at each stage, you&#8217;ll be collecting one or more materials<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To know where to find each item or resource\u00a0you just have to\u00a0navigate the cauldron and anvil menus. Keep your finger on the picture of the object that interests you and a window pops up telling you <strong>where you can find it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Then <strong>look for the areas on\u00a0the map<\/strong> and you can repeat these levels as many times as you need.<\/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\/resources-568x426.png\" alt=\"Get strategic with your resources\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Limitless play<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike other games, like <a href=\"http:\/\/angry-birds-go.en.softonic.com\/iphone\">Angry Birds Go!<\/a>, there are no limitations on time or lives, you can play whatever way you want without having to wait.
