Powers

Tips for playing Poppy

• Build around foot soldiers: they hit 10% harder all game.
• Your ground vehicles deal 15% less damage: give them support jobs and let your stronger units do the fighting.
• Foot soldiers are 20% cheaper: build lots of them and grab properties early.
• Save the super power (Thousand-Boot March) for when your foot soldiers are hurt: the heal is worth more on damaged units.
• Either power adds movement: use that turn to reach targets that are normally out of range.
• Your meter fills fastest when your units are hit, so a costly turn often brings the power closer.

How to beat Poppy

• Poppy's foot soldiers hit 10% harder, so don't trade with them head-on. The usual answers are Artillery, Gunboat and Tank.
• Poppy's ground vehicles deal 15% less damage, so even trades go your way.
• Poppy can afford more foot soldiers than you: expect to be outnumbered and make every attack count.
• Finish off Poppy's damaged units before the meter fills: the power heals them back up.
• Every hit Poppy's units take fills their power meter, so strike hard in one turn instead of chipping away. When the meter is full, pull fragile units back.

In their own words

• “Left, right, left, right — let's GO!”

• “Everybody got their boots on? Double-knotted?”

• “We won! Stickers and cake for everyone!”
