I don’t if this has been mentioned in the thread, but I got an impossible mission today: “Beat your own score on Brass Hogs 22”. The problem is I have not unlocked Brass Hogs 22, I reached it with the trick method. And now that method is unavailable, so there is no way to get to it.

Here is a workable strategy for M5-18:

First bird at the upper edge of the gravity field. It should hit the two little pigs and nestle in the structure before icing it down.

Second bird under the planet, about half way between the surface and the edge of the gravity field. Split so one of the birds take out the pigs on the planet. The other two go on a pop the big pig in the upper satellite.

Third bird along the same trajectory, and ice down the structure close to the other big pig.

Fourth bird same trajectory, destroy as much of the remaining ice as possible and any remaining pig.

2 bonus birds. 82k.

:) Well, there are really hard ones and some that are reasonable. I try to save the reasonable ones for 3-star missions.

I though so at first too, but I’m not sure it’s a good strategy. It seems that when you get a mission to complete a mirror level, the next day you will usually get a mission to 3-star that same level. If, when you play it to just complete it, it seems like it is easy to 3-star, it’s a better strategy to NOT 3-star it on day 1 and then get an easy 3 point mission on day 2.

If you 3-star all the easy 3-star levels right away then you will only have the hard 3-star levels left later in the game.

I had to give up on this mission: 3 star Pig Dipper M-3. Has anyone done this without power-ups? It seems a 1-bird is needed, or you have to be extraordinarily lucky with two.

About Hologram Darth Sidious: I had to use 14 to open the reward level, so I had to buy 10+10 (which was OK since I had a lot of free coins). First it took one or two to actually learn how he works, and I probably blew 4 attempts when I wasn’t able to finish the level. I think neither PR-11 (Boba Fett reward level) nor BR-11 (Chewbacca reward level) are really ideal for HDW, but I don’t know any better.

On Chewbacca reward level it’s easy to blow up the leftmost TNT by just zapping it as you fly past. But the problem is that one of the pigs in a bubble will float up off screen but not die, so you have no way of finishing the level. There may be some better way to do it but I ran out of HDS’s.

On Boba Fett reward level I never seemed to find the sweet spot to reliably blow up both the upper and the lower structures. If you only blow up the upper structure you usually get 50-60k, which may not be enough to reach 600k with 10 swaps.
