Talk:The Bombs/@comment-25324694-20141112021249

So, just passed without boosters.

1. 10 moves on the edges with only vertical matches, so no bombs. I gave up several special candies on purpose to focus on wasting moves without generating bombs.

2. Now, at all times try to only get SINGLE horizontal matches unless no choice. So only 1-3 new bombs are introduced each time and you are dealing with bombs too.

Around 13 moves, incredibly had a h-stripe,v-stripe and wrap on left side. Right side filled with chocolate (only a couple spawned on left side and easily dealt with). Saw I had a bomb about to explode with no matching colours so waited until last second and did stripe-wrap combo. No effect on RS because it took out the bottom two rows only. Next move was also forced to use horizontal stripe but luckily it was positioned so it took out another bottom level of the chocolate. Considering the sheer amount of attempts on this level I recognize the overall situation was extremely lucky, and this level cannot be passed wihout extreme luck IMO.

More single horizontal matches, looked up and incredibly bombs were at 8 and I had six moves left! So paranoid I planned each move meticulously, lol.

Three days since I posted on http://candy-crush-saga.wikia.com/wiki/User:CC-8589934592 's post, using this basic strategy. Anytime I got candies on both sides just quit and didn't waste my time. Likewise gave up quickly if forced to make big matches early such as stripes/wraps. In the last three days, have consistently had higher quality attempts, especially when I avoided special candies until I had one side established and most of the chocolate on the other side. Keep in mind I have been stuck on the level since October 31st so the first SEVEN days of attempts using normal candy crush strategies were totally futile. I had maybe 2 quality (single digit moves remaining) in those first days, compared to 1-2 PER DAY in the past 4 days.
