What me and my friend like to with is, since I'm better, I get out an ultra, then some air, and he gets out a colossus and ghosts. We usually win the beginning marine-only battle because I'm a beast when I just concentrate only on bejeweled. Then, we reinforce with tanks to kill their cannons faster. Usually that will do a lot of damage and we can always just fall back and get more energy. If they send chargelots, keeping that colossus alive is so crucial because colossi eat up chargelots. We talk on Skype, which makes our coordination a lot better. Does anybody know if the max combo is for the swarm? That's the highest one we've gotten. Anyways, this game is super fun. We don't play 2v2s anymore because we have this. | ||

Storm is really good on offense and defense though, I spam the hell out of that. yea, the key is just to play the puzzle game and just mash out unit counters /coordinate units when your ally pumps out a bunch. One thing I noticed after the 1 game I played, was that in a back and forth battle tanks seem to be the only thing that stick around in the back collecting until they ultimately reach a critical mass and just plow you down nada style. OT- how is facebook bejeweled different from the normal flash/popcap versions? are their achievements and shit? | ||

I've opened ultra most games and have pretty much cleared the floor by transitioning into mass zealot after my first two ultras. mass zelot pretty much counters most things except storm or collosus, in which case your ultra should counter the collosus. Storm on the other hand, is harder to deal with, but your ultra should live through the storm. A roach is fine too. | ||

I also played a game with a random guy where we went from 0-2 to 3-2 after I stopped making units and solely focused on abilites while he made colossi, so I guess it's a viable strategy as well. | ||

Also, I have found a new way to bm people in that game. When you see that you have a nice mass of tanks and you're about to plow through his last line of defenses, start saving up to 1000 energy and then draw a penis at their front door using 5 of the bubbles (hotkey c). I don't remember the name of it but it's hilarious. My friend and I were cracking up after I did that. It just shows them how you can steamroll them and still have 1000 energy left over. We've also won games where both of us were on our off game and lost in points. Like both members of the other team were ahead of both of us. Just shows that unit counters and great spells are the most important thing. | ||

Otherwise roaches are fairly strong in all situations. Straight up massing roaches+spells will do good. | ||

Best part is if the other team spam lock down your ultras they won't be pumping out that many beastly units. | ||

Once you get into a secure position you can spend the next 500 on the fat unit. Healing is pretty OP in the right hands IMO. And this thread is why I love TL lololol Agree... you underestimate the power of the Heal | ||

when it comes to units, i usually spawn a siege tank, a banshee and sometimes either an ultralisk or a colossus. I keep forgetting to use the other abilities because as I mentioned, I was going for the healing. | ||

Never was able to pull it off since most of the games I have been with end way too soon, whether it's defeat or victory. Just create a custom game against the Easy AI, build up energy until you are maxed and send one ultralisk. After that you mass heal him and storm your own marines if they stack up. It is a little bit cheesy but it works | ||

I tried the tank strategy, followed by ghosts, but the tanks always obliterated by colossi quickly. The one ultralisk with healing works better in terms of actually getting me forward progress, and winning the kill count, but it is taken down VERY fast by the first two forward cannons. Healing almost has to be constant. Also tried mostly spell micro fir a while, pretty ineffective. This is the hardest challenge in the game! I don't understand the people who got this in just a couple tries? Did Blizzard increase the difficulty? It's not as I'm terrible at this type of game. I dominate tetris and columns, and I'm pretty steady in making matches. | ||

i really think that if youre good at bejeweled, it doesnt matter which strat u use. of course, vs insane, you'd want either tank/ghost or col/hydra/roach, maybe ultra + heal (although that requires looking away from the puzzle area, so i dont recommend it). regardless of what others say about "it's not luck, it's skill", you still need some luck. hopefully when you are matching pieces in a frenzied manner, you dont run out of options and have to reset the board (too soon and/or too often). | ||
