Defending and Attacking
When it’s time to do battle or defend, you’ll get a spin wheel. If you went first, Finn will get to attack first, otherwise, you will. The green area is a safe, large area that will guarantee a hit or defense. If you can manage to stop the spinner in the brighter green area, you’ll get a critical hit or a counter, but this part is dangerously close to the red zone, where you get nothing. Always aim for the large green zone, but if you want to go for the bonus, try to stop the spinner before it gets to the bright green zone so that it will land right on it.
Defending is much more difficult than attacking since you have much less green area to work with. When defending, it’s safest to aim for the large green area. That way, you can at least avoid getting damaged at all. If you do hit the brighter area, you’ll do a counter attack.
If you really have trouble with the spin wheel you can turn it off in the settings on the main screen, but you probably don’t want to do this. Without the spin wheel, all attacks are performed with no chance of defense or counter. Since players are usually better at defending and countering than the computer is, it works out better if you keep the spin wheel on and defend yourself as much as possible.
Special Abilities
Floop Abilities
Floop abilities are special abilities each of your creatures has. You activate them by spending a certain number of magic points. Unless you’re summoning creatures, you should be using your magic points to activate your best flop abilities. They can give you extra attack power, lower your opponent’s defenses, or one of many other special benefits.
Hero Abilities
In addition to the ability each of your creatures has, your hero (Jake, to start with) a unique ability. These can be activated after the countdown goes to zero. Then, just tap to activate. These are extremely helpful and easy to forget about, so make sure to keep track of the timer and use your ability at the most opportune moment! Jake’s ability will improve the attack power of all your creatures on corn fields. When you unlock other characters to use, you’ll get different special abilities and can choose characters with the best ability.
