Beginner info

[Jim151]

I just started playing the game a few days ago. There is very little info available for new players. I still have little idea of the birds abilities. What they are good at, what they are not. For example, I just got Terrance. According to the tutorial he is supposed to just blow through things, and for the first few levels he did, but now he’s just bouncing off of them, creating little to no damage. He obviously has some weakness. Same goes for the others. So is there anywhere I can go to read in actual words rather than rely on woefully inadequate tutorial video?

Hi.
Go to the thread called: Angry Birds 2 Enemy Guide: Explanations and Strategies, below.
You will find it very useful.

There was a tutorial, but some updates ago it was removed from the game. Instead I did a little tutorial to help you.

Red (red) – small bird, when clicked he screams and push structures on his way. He isn’t in destroying things, but his pushing ability is effective against nearly all tall and tight structures. Best to use when the stage is easy and you don’t want to use stronger birds.

Chuck (yellow) – medium bird, when clicked he accelerates and starts moving straight to the moment he hits something. Difficult to master, but with good timing very effective. Best to use him against wood structures or weak points, baloons or anything too high for the other birds (AKA Baloon Pigs).

The Blues (blue) – very small birds, in slingshot there’s only one visible, when clicked they split into 3 identical birds. They can go through glass, and that’s the only thing they’re doing well. Use them only if you don’t want to lose stronger birds.

Bomb (black) – large bird, made to break stone, then destroying anything close by explosion. Actually, he’s best against anything because of it’s ability. Also, it’s only ability, which don’t need to be activated manually, because he explodes some seconds after hitting anything. Most valueable bird, don’t waste him.

Silver (grey) – medium bird, it’s her debut in the AB games. When clicked, she’s making a loop, then flying to the ground, making a little shockwave after landing. Most times her loop isn’t effective because most of the stages are vertical, but her ability can be used as hammer, when she crash into structure while doing loop. Without ability, she can destroy one stone block, which is somewhat useful. Use her when using any bird is risky.

Matilda (white) – large bird, when clicked, she drops an egg-shaped bomb, then goes a bit upward. While a bit underpowered than in former games, she’s good in destroying two structures at once. Again, she needs very good timing to work properly.

Terence (dark red) – very large bird and there’s nearly nothing to know about him. You only need these: he’s best at wrecking structures and pigs, lose his power against stone and baloons (yes, everyone knows it’s stupid) and he’s too valuable to waste him.

Also, if you want to know a bit against your enemies, take a look here:

Thanks, that’s really helpful.

Remember with Terence, he’s more effective on a downward curve. Gravity pushes him on more strongly. If you fling him on the horizontal or on an upward curve, he’ll stop dead, then hopelessly pulse for a bit.

Terrence: Large Bird which eats tons of grains every day. Crashes through wood and ice like a truck, but can be stopped by balloons. The pigs use them often as a secret weapon to stop him.

Blues: Strong against ice, but doesn’t harm stones or wood. Will be won as extra bird when the pigs are sitting in big stone castles.

Balloons: Evil developers made them. Prevent buildings from collapsing and can be used as steady floating seats for single pigs.

Rockets: Twist and turn without control before exploding. Sometimes they destroy pigs, but more often they destroy nothing.

Teddy bears: Damn magic pigs make them out of attacking birds. Are in the AB2-world as effective to destroy buildings as in our world.

North Pole: Cold area. In AB2 the North Pole level is so cold, that it shivers and freezes while you’re playing.

Iron Buckets: Safer than a knights amour. In a bucket you can fall from great hights without harm. All Pigs know that for a long time.

Screwdriver: Most underrated tool. Can even stop attacking huge 300-pound birds and birds full of dynamite.

If something (fans for example) accelerates Terence he destroys almost everything on his way.
Only aiming is little bit problematic.
