Lil Bug’s Angry Birds 2 Flingers Corner

Mighty Eagle’s Boot Camp has turned into a hackers practical joke. Top spots are riddled with clones and barely full flocks. It is impossible for players with lower FP to compete with players well above 1,000 FP. There are many things gumming up the works and players are up in arms. Rovio’s response to the problem is the #ExtraBirdChallenge. It is the first real attempt at leveling the playing field in MEBC. The two biggest changes are the removal of the destructometer and having access to your entire flock. Removing the destructometer really has had the biggest impact on game play. This means there is no bird card rejuvenation. You are given 11 bird cards to start the MEBC round, one of each. I did receive a golden pig, which would instantly fill the destructometer and supply an extra card, but nope, not now! No destructometer means the golden pig is only a shiny thing used to distract you from your score. The idea behind the change is that every player is given the same numbe...

On October 21, 2019 Rovio introduced a new feature in the Daily Challenge, the Daily Challenge Streak. I mentioned it in the Rovio Rumble~October Updates but was so wrapped up in the Rowdy Rumble I forgot to talk about the Streak. So, it gets its own, dedicated article, with all the information I could find thus far. Streaks are obtained with consecutive wins in the Daily Challenge, each win yields a bonus reward from the Streak. There’s a catch, you knew there would be, all DCs must be completed on the first attempt to continue the Streak. If you are unable to complete the DC on your first try the Streak will be broken and start back at level 1, just like Arena Streaks. The Streak will not be broken if you skip playing the Daily Challenge all together. There are two sets of DC rewards currently circulating; 1,000 feathers, 100 Black Pearls, 3 spells, 1 Rare Chest, and # of apples (the number depends on your level of hatchling) OR 400 feathers, 30 Black Pearls, 1 spell, 1 Rare Che...

After more than a week without so much as a hint at a battle we all started wondering..... where, oh where, had our clan battles gone? Apparently put on hold while Rovio prepared some massive game updates. On October 21, 2019 a new update was released that included the new Daily Challenge streak and the Rowdy Rumble Tournament. The jury is still out on what we think of the new features, preliminary reports aren’t positive. Stay tuned to Lil Bugs Corner for an in-depth look soon. What the update didn’t mention is the drastic change to extra birds. For a while now players have been reporting extra birds staying open for 12-24 hours then sleeping for 24 hours. It seems this was a test run for our new update. We also saw a force unlock of all extra birds after the last update in September. Extra birds just unlocked with a FP in the twenties. All of this was leading up to the never sleeping extra birds. You read that right, the extra birds don’t sleep anymore. We can now toggle between ...
