Light combos, fire combos and positioning of random bubbles
Here are a few tips that I’ve found helpful when playing Faerie Bubbles:
1. Light combos are your friend! Sometimes light combos seem like they’re bad because they change the surrounding bubbles to unpredictable colors. But they’re actually very useful. If you can make a light combo right next to a huge chunk of Earth, Air, or Dark bubbles, you’ll get rid of them and you won’t have to deal with the combos that ARE bad.
2. Same thing goes for fire combos. If you start out with a big chunk of “bad” bubbles, making a fire combo next to them can get rid of some of them so you won’t have to get a bad combo. Be on the lookout for opportunities!
3. This is the one that has helped me the most: If you get a bubble and don’t have any bubbles of that type already on the screen, you might feel the urge to stick it in a corner and sequester it off from the rest of the bubbles. DON’T do this. Here’s why: Let’s say I have nothing but 2 fire bubbles on the screen, and the next two in the gun are air bubbles. If I shoot the two air bubbles far away from the fire bubbles, it will take a long time for me to get all of the bubbles to disappear. BUT if I shoot the air bubbles right AT the fire bubbles, then as soon as I get a third fire bubble, those air bubbles will fall off the screen and I won’t have to wait for another air bubble to come. This saves a LOT of time. Of course, make sure you have room on the screen to do this! – ellenshuman
Tip listings
1. Whenever possible, make a fire combo.
2. Before moving, try to look and see what other bubbles you will have next. That can help you decide where to move.
3. Sometimes you may be forced to do an air combo. When you MUST do this, try to make sure you keep all the bubbles in ONE row.
4. Whenever you receive the RARE bubbles, take your time and find the BEST spot to put them.
– Nova Bubble: When you end up with a nova bubble, this makes all the bubbles around it disappear. BEFORE using this, see which area is filled with the most UNMATCHED bubbles, and shoot it into the center of that section.
– Swirl Bubble: This takes the form of whatever bubble it touches. Before shooting one of these, see what bubble is loaded next into your cannon. Use this information to help you decide where to shoot it.
5. If your hand-eye-coordination is a little off, take a straight edge and line it up with your cannon so as to see where the bubble will go.
6. If it is too difficult to shoot a bubble directly at another one, bounce the bubble off the wall.
7. Try to NEVER EVER do a dark combo.
8. Although a light combo is supposed to be good, only do them once in a while, seeing as they can actually turn out bad.
9. Only do Earth Combos when necessary. – lotr_gurlz7
