Anyone who played Angry Birds 2 Knows The trouble that this bad piggy will cause

This pig has the ability to turn your bird into ANYTHING! From blocks to TNT.
There are Simple ways to beat it, but What is YOUR Strategy?

Also, @partshade I used your picture from your “Angry Birds 2 Enemy guide” forum, is it OK?

My strategy: It might be stupid but,
I’ll wait until the pig will sleep! So his power won’t work! Then, I’ll get rid of him!

[epicMarksmen]

Uhh… The best way is to use Blues, because they might be more overpowered than they can be if one of the Blues is shot.

Using Matilda or Silver you can shoot well above the structure housing the pig (provided it is not under a floating rock island) and then drop egg or use the loop to come straight down on him. When the bird is well above him, he misses his shot to the rear. Never bother aiming right at him. Depending on the location of the sling relative to the tower, sometimes it is also possible to shoot out the legs and collapse the tower, as he usually does not shoot at a bird who is much below horizontal to him.

Also watch out for levels containing more than one of him. The second or third ones usually shoot me down as I am lining up to wipe out the first.

Another thread has some strategies:

Strategies for dealing with the Magic Pig?

[monsterpighunter]

I’ve seen multiple people here give this pig a different name, from miner to magic and from laser to transformer

has rovio officially gave this pig an universal name?

[RizDub]

@abginebird – That’s the same thing I do! If possible, I also try to attack from underneath. He can shoot through walls, but he can’t shoot downward for some reason.

@corporalpig – I don’t know if he has an official name, but I’ve seen the data files refer to him as the “polymorph pig”.

@burbman Has it spot-on. I found that complete direction change (Ie Matilda, Silver and sometimes Chuck) has worked the best for me with this pig. Done right your almost immune to him which is why I took the time to learn how this pig reacts. I’m just too impatient to wait for the pig to sleep :P.

BTW I’m completely ok with you using my pictures. I kinda like it actually :D.

@partshade also, I noticed that this pig usually turns Terence into balloon.
The good part of this pig is that it can turn your bird into Golden pigs or TNT too. However, must study when it does that.

Matilda is the best bet by bringing down an egg.

[Mp127]

Imo best are Matilda with upward attack, and Blues/Chuck/Silver for downward. Don’t use Bomb and Terence unless you don’t have choice. Good strategy is sending Red or Blues (as they’re less useful than others) into pig and looking do that gives something like Golden Pigs or Rockets.
