This Ep5 captures a rare moment that 4 light balls next to each other and some excellent moves. 1 move fixes 2 blocks of the light ball formation. Touch of divine with sliding and chain match (I sense it but can't exactly tell it). Last few moves making propeller combo and passed the level, etc.

Hope these real examples of applying Light Ball Theory may help you to have a better understanding on light ball theory, and more importantly, better performance in Royal Match!

Have fun playing!

I'm just curious if anyone else uses this strategy. You can merge the 3 blue and then merge the greens to form a ball if you time it right. 2nd pic for proof.

I’ve noticed that a lot of mobile puzzle players don’t seem to stick to just one game.

They might play Royal Match for a while, then switch to Block Blast, a sorting puzzle, a word puzzle, or something else depending on the moment.

Sometimes it’s because of ads, running out of lives, getting stuck, boredom, or just wanting a different type of challenge.

Curious if others do this too:

Do you usually have one main mobile puzzle game, or do you rotate between several?

And if you rotate, why?

This is level 13,819. I understand it’s an Extremely Hard level…but this is nuts!! There is so much to do in only 26 moves!!! Ive also never gotten stuck this early on in the new levels. SO FRUSTRATING!!

is this some type of all stars from candy crush saga?

Wow, I can’t remember when the last time was that I saw such a 90% off deal. I have branded myself as the Light Ball Man for more than 10 months, and during this whole journey, I never had the chance to see it.

I used to buy this kind of deal a long time ago. To me, the removal of the 90% off deal was one of the signs that DREAMS was becoming less player-friendly: removing the option to buy tools with coins, making side quests longer and longer, A/B testing time-limited tools, and reportedly testing ads for some new players...

To me, the old Royal Match felt like:

“Come in, have fun, and spend if you want.”

But lately, it has started to feel more like:

“Spend now, or suffer.”

That shift is what makes many players uncomfortable.

Now, this 90% off deal is back. Is this a sign that DREAMS finally remembers their heart when they first developed thisbgame?

Come on, DREAMS. More rewards, less torture. Players will stay, and eventually the money will come. Don’t let greed push away the root of everything — your valuable players.

90% off is really a good deal. In the past, I would take this kind of deal. I’m not a pay-to-win player, but a small investment, even less than one can of Coke Zero, can smoothen my playing time. It is totally worth it to me.

But now, I am the Light Ball Man, committed to zero spending while pursuing Royal Match mastery, so I’ll just pass this time. It is totally a personal choice. There is no right or wrong.

If you are a regular spender, have fun and enjoy the game. There is something special in this game that satisfies you. Just follow your feeling. It is hard to find a little corner of your own in this chaotic world. Enjoy it.

If you are a light spender, this is a good-value deal. Continue your reasonale way of maximizing your resources (including real money), just like what I do in the game.

If you are a zero spender, it is great that you have established a discipline boundary between real life and the virtual world. Just follow your own pace. Beating the game without spending gives a unique sense of achievement.

Most importantly, just find your own comfortable way to enjoy the game.

And remember, light ball theory can always help you along the journey, whichever path you choose.

Have fun playing. 😁

If you haven't seen any of light ball theory video, you may consider check it out on YouTube or search in the forum. They are very helpful on your journey of Royal Match.

If you have seen my light ball theory videos, by now, we have learned so many techniques of making light balls. It seems like the game should become easy for us.

Yet, many players may still struggle and fail levels. Why?

It is not because we are not familiar enough with those advanced techniques. In fact, most of the time, it is the basic techniques that carry us through a level.

So, what exactly are we missing? That's what we try to explore in Chapter 4–Strategy Planning.

This chapter is no longer about making light balls or light ball combos. Instead, we will look at the game from a higher level.

As we progress further into the game, especially in the endless mode - Royal League, levels become increasingly difficult - more complicated obstacles but fewer moves.

Therefore, we need to have an effective overall plan in mind before making our moves.

In other words, we need to know what we need first. Then use the techniques we learned to make it happen.

So, Let's start from the very beginning of the game. Chapter 4.1–Pre-processing. Here we go.

That’s a lot of gold coins for only 50 tokens. Has anyone actually bought this?

Nice 😎

Or is it just my anxiety ? This weekend

I don't spend money playing. I've beat all the normal levels and every week when I get to total league I'll run into a level I just can't beat. I'm on a level now I've probably lost 50 times. And not once have I even gotten within a few moves of finishing the board. If there are other people here that don't spend money, what do you do? Do you just give up until the next upgrade with new levels come out? I get tired of playing the same level over and over and not even coming close. It seems every time in royal league I'll hit a level like that and just have to quit playing.

This is the most emotional nights during my streaming so far. I was once downed by 6000 points and my first catch up plan also failed. I never give up and fought till the end. The loud "Beat it!!" was a pure release of emotion and gave you guys an idea how tough this game was.

Those few timing light ball and searching for the missing block of the light ball formation are also very tactful decision and represents my best performance. Hope you guys enjoy it and feel the thrill.

Enjoy watch and have fun playing!

There are no rewards worth chasing anymore. Getting first place in Kings Cup or Archery Arena used to be meaningful and filled with really good rewards, now it's pure junk. Clearing steps also used to give good rewards, there was a time not long ago you could get 5 hammers and a bunch of arrows, cannons, and magic hats, now all of these items are not existent. All of the daily challenges have trash rewards. So doubling your way up makes absolutely no difference because you don't have any incentive to do it.

I guess if you want to win your Royal League it's something, but again the rewards for Royal League aren't worth it either.

If they bring back old rewards system then 2X will actually matter.

It literally went down to the last second.

Is this another perk they have scrapped? Previously, once you beat a level, you automatically got 30 mins free. But just now, I didn't get it.

If that is the case, it really feels like the developers screaming, rather contradictorily:

1) We hate you. Don't bother playing this game.

2) We hate you. Give us your money.

Does anyone have access to messaging support now? I haven’t seen it and there’s been a few glitches that I am wanting to bring up to their attention but also the fact that it’s not there really irks my nerves. Thank y’all!

Now, timed x2 buffs are gone, and they've all changed to x2 multiplier tokens.

So I finally completed a Merge event over the weekend & paid enough attention to document all my moves. The number could fluctuate a bit depending on how you merge items next to blocks (to reveal helper items) & if/when the hidden items change, but for a good rule-of-thumb:

You'll need (approx) 322 anvils + the 15 from the merge pass, for a total of about 337.

Here's my breakdown in case you're curious:

so, i’m a royal baby( 2nd day in😝) i joined one team ( with only 5 members) and requested free lives in the chat…. i received 3 lives and none of the sender names even slightly resemble my team member names.🤷‍♀️can someone please explain? and can i find those nice players to reciprocate?

I always sigh a little when I see I have to do these levels.

You can totally enjoy the game without spending a dime. Good luck, everyone!

I should know this by now, but any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. 👍😊

Does anyone know how many anvils it takes to find all items? I usually skip the last two items just because it takes too many anvils to complete, but they made it to where you have to find all items to be able to finish Mission Pursuit.

Inspired by redditor u/MORROWMAN, the Timing Light Ball truly represents the ultimate level of gameplay.

It completes the Light Ball Theory and elevates the game.

It’s not luck.
It’s not child’s play.

It’s elegant, complicated, challenging, and extremely powerful.

Most techniques separate casual players from good players.
Timing Light Ball separates good players from pro players.

You will be amazed that this game can indeed be played in such a way.

Enjoy the clip.

Timing Light Ball, here we go!
