It's really annoying and the later opponents are asshats.

There is a trick in those high tiered challenge (chacharon and the kid mithra).

The trick is: they were coded to not make many mistakes.

But if suposelly youre perfect, then youre predictable.

This would be faster without the animations wasting so much time, like 80% faster.

IDK, it looks to be total RNG to me. My 3rd win against Kuyin, she made a total brain dead move when she was on track to win. This gave me the lead and I won. Chacharoon was a joke for me and went 3/3 all like 22-9, he was playing moves that didn’t even make sense all 3 times. The meeble I found to be the worst of them all, I barely went first and he *** me nearly every game.

You can get all clears just on moogle, don't have to go against the harder ones.

The moghancement is pretty cute. I don't know if it has any actual effects, but you do get a bunch of Mandragora running around in the breeding grounds.


Huh, interesting.

Can confirm
I was 2/3 wins on Meeble, did Moogle, and new loot/kid mithra opened up.

There seems to be a catch if you cheese it through moogle:
AMAN and #ANV are 50 points each for me. I have 0 wins against Mithra and Cacharoon right now.

Beat the mithra 3x, AMAN and ANV are still 50 points each. I'm still 2/3 on Meeble and 0/3 on Chacharoon for wins though.

Here's an easy strat if you go first, seems to work well. I'm 9/9 with this method, and since the RNG doesn't seem to be in your favour if you go second, giving up seems faster.

~select area 3 to start
~select area 5
~opponent should make a single move leaving 4 on your area 2
~select area 2
~select area 5
~select area 3
~opponent makes a move

From there you usually end up with 5 on your area 1, do that, but it can vary. Select area 5, then area 4, then it should be easy from there on out.

Actually is the opposite as the harder oponent makes more combos so they get more mandy than the derps.

But the difference doesnt seems noticeable

If anything, fighting against Chacharoon just makes sense if you can make an addon. As firedemon said and i can confirm, hes so predictable that you just need to follow 4 patterns to win without even locking the screen.

Like he said, against Chacharon you just need to do:

Starts first then

Turn|-1-|-2-|-3-|-4-|-5-|
You |-3-|-5-|---|-4-|---|
Him |---|---|-2-|---|-6-|

Then you pretty much got the upperhand to win against him

You can win comfortably if the CPU start, provided they dont take their 3 first. If they hit you with their 3-5, which I think is 7-8, just bail and start over.

9 times out of 10 that was their go-to move for me. It was nice to see them pull dumb moves off the start though.

Kathena and Chacharoom will always (more chacharoom thant katheena) with 7 (neting a first bonus move) -> 8 (disrupting your first bonus move).

After that, unfortunelly you need to resort to move 3 and allow him to do a ***combo 4->8->7 when things start to even out and he can make alternative choices but those 6 moves are always happening with katheena and chacharoon if they start.

I haven’t confirmed but there might be a glitch in this game;

Was facing the Meeble, got 12 mandies on the square next to my board so I could circle the board and get two mandies onto my board in one turn. As the last Mandy ended on my board I got an extra turn as you usually do. When it was the Meeble’s turn again, he went to do a move and the game ended. No chat log message, no gained points, just ended. It only happened once but I’d rather not set up to do this again to test if that’s what caused the game to end lol.

Saw both of those bugs yesterday a lot, surprised they let them slip. They normally beta test patches a lot before putting them out.

the game can also ends with a "check mate" ie if the oponent (or you) dont have any mandy to move.

I got a 28-3 yesterday against the moogle, can't remember who went first though. I just know the AI was doing some really questionable moves and he ended up with only 3 white mandies. I was getting set up every move, it was strange.

Also, if you get 12 mandies on your area 5, it works now and you don't lose a turn.
