Angry Birds Friends Tournament Level 1 – Week 18 – September 17th

Walkthrough video and strategy for Angry Birds Friends on Facebook Tournament Level #1 Week 18 (this tournament began the week of September 17th, 2012). Our strategy for this level is to fire the white bird towards the top left hanging pig, detonating the TNT at the last second. This should take out the pig on the left and the white bird’s corpse should take out the pigs on the far right. Fling the red bird towards the left part of the structure to destabilize it, then follow up with the white bird at a similar trajectory. We ended up using the yellow bird to pop the last pig and rack up some points. The score in the video is 91,270.

Our Angry Birds Friends Tournament walkthroughs show you how to obtain 3 stars and highscores with and without Power Ups. If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below; however, don't just post your score via the comments.

Easy 3 stars and 1 bird strategy. Click on king sling and cut the ropes (all of them) with white bird. Finish with BQ if needed.
It works in most of cases.

I tried @Pocko ‘s strategy and, yes, you can destroy all the pigs with one bird for around 95-97K. Howevever,I believe that much more can be achieved, because there are lots points to be made in the lower part (in particular the little ice cubes). So, I came with Congo’s three bird strategy(TM) for at least 104K (I think can be done with and without powerups, but it’s obviously easier with them): http://angrybir.de/UdQ0jJ

1. First bird can be used to take both towers on the side plus all the pigs in the top. I SS the one in this picture, but can also be done without SS (perhaps even better that you don’t). Aiming and ricochet marked in the picture.

2. Second shot takes care of the little cubes , which makes the left center tower to fall down. It is not always easy, but SS helps a lot.

3. Third shot with white bird is the crucial and most difficult one. It needs to land right in the middle to crush the ice cubes with the egg and then ricochet to destroy the center right tower. What complicates the shot is that a stone board usually remains in the middle.

4. One of the pigs with the wooden balls sometimes survive, so you can get rid of him with the third bird. This is obviously just a first strategy, but I am sure it can be refined, so please let me know.

I tried the Congo three bird strategy(TM) with KS. First bird went as planned. 2nd bird didn’t make the middle towers fall over or kill either bird with the wooden balls. So I used SS on the third bird, and shot it in same place as 2nd bird, dropping the egg just before hitting the stone wall. Took out nearly everything to the right, and scored 111,320. It was a fluke and the 2nd bird was essentially wasted. Might be worth more points if 2nd bird used efficiently, as KS + SS on 3rd bird (white) aimed towards first three small ice cubes can take out a lot on right side of screen.

Nice shooting @twadef! I’ll git it a try. One option would be to use the red bird to bring down all the stuff that is hanging, but those things don’t have many points in them and are difficult to break.

I just did 114,320 with @congo ‘s strategy and no power ups.

The third shot is crucial, as Congo said. Indeed, a stone board usually ramains, but I aim the bird a little higher and drop the egg in the last moment. The bird should hit the right center tower (or the wooden ball), dostroying part of it and pushing the rest off the wall, along with the right wooden tower, if it still stands.

I just tried this again and got 113,300, so I think it’s highly repeatable.

My strategy. SS & KS first bird bird and use it like Terence. Don’t drop the egg. Aim to the helmet pig. Try it few times to get result 65K and more. Then cut the ropes with second bird. 110K+ score is easy with this.

Sure. I will have to jog my memory a little as I was repeating this level again and again with very little luck of breaking 90,000. The first white bird I dropped the egg over the first tower with the smiley and the green pig. It destroyed that plus some of the pigs hanging high up as it flew up. I think the two pigs on the end may have dies also. I then KS and SS the red bird and aimed at the bottom left of the first stone tower. It shattered it and was able to collapse most of it. The final white bird was a clean up of the last tower and the blue bricks which resulted in alot of points. I have tried this method again a few times just to see and have not had the ‘luck’ I did when I got this score. SO I don’t think it is a guarantee but can be if things go your way.

Rank: Master Slinger with 6595 points

I think the key was that the fist brick tower, fell to the left and not the right side when the red bird hit it.

I agree with you. This level is doing my head in.

If you want to try my strat go ahead. KS. Use the first bird to destroy the middle left pig. Second bird cut the ropes in a way to leave left most bottom pig alive. Third bird throw in the middle the middle towers should both fall either side and you should have high 90k score. SS last bird and take out left structure. The third bird is the problem. It is really hard and involves a lot of luck.

@blinddwag using KS with YB is not very effective, and quite inefficient. If he’s already in KS from the bird before, that’s great. But when you deploy the “speed” for yellow bird, KS does not seem to make him any faster, or more powerful. Super seeds is a much better pairing for YB.

Tommy_ro I see what you are talking about, and I think it is just one of those random things. Sometimes it will break, sometimes it won’t. Make sure you hit it center mass. It is always easier to break something long, when you go right down the center. This applies in REAL physics too. Perhaps Slim can elaborate?

By tommy_ro

After about 50 tries, I got it! :) the whole idea is that the wall is completely stuck to the middle of the tower, meaning that hitting it with a small red bird will also have a counter reaction from the middle of the tower (the wall will be pressed from both sides at full thrust). Here are 2 pics to clear it up:

@tommy_ro Yeah, it’s hard to break it. The two options are: 1) SS the red bird (which seems to be a waste given Bill’s and sheikhoos videos) or 2) keep trying until it happens. The manner in which the first explosion takes place may also help.

Almost like the video, except when the third bird (white) is flung I detonated it slightly early. The fly away flipped the barbell up with enough force to knock over the other barbell and both towers. I did use a power up scope to send the last (yellow) bird up to cut the ropes on the magnets. Cleaned up some of the debris and improved my score.
