Super Hard is the toughest computer in Country Clash. You need to reach level 10 to face it, and most players lose their first matches. Here is how it thinks, and how to beat it.
Super Hard appears as a fourth button next to Easy, Medium and Hard in VS CPU mode. Until you reach level 10 it shows a lock. You earn XP with every match: 10 XP for a loss, 30 for a win, 40 for an online win or a World Cup round, and 150 for winning the World Cup. The World Cup is the fastest way to level up.
Before every shot, the Super Hard computer tries many more angles and powers than the other levels and simulates each one to the end. It values three things: taking land, breaking your trails, and never leaving its own trail exposed. It also changes style with the clock: when time runs low, it goes for land much more aggressively. In our tests, it beat the Hard computer in every match.
Super Hard will find any open trail it can reach. The only safe trail is a short one. End your shots near a wall, and prefer small cuts in the corners to big cuts across the middle.
Super Hard protects its trails, so you will rarely get an easy break early on. Play safe, take small pieces, and wait. As the arena fills up, its balls have less room and its trails get longer.
Arenas with blocks or a disc in the middle are your friends. Obstacles cut the lines its balls can follow, and a trail tucked behind an obstacle is very hard to reach.
A Shield or a +1 Ball is just as valuable for the computer as for you. Sometimes the best shot is the one that takes a bubble away from it, even if you gain no land.
Because Super Hard gets aggressive when the clock is low, the last seconds are dangerous. Try to lead before the final stretch, then keep your balls close to the walls.
When the computer is down to one ball, it plays much more carefully. Don't rush: keep cutting safely and let it make the mistake.
Every match still gives 10 XP and teaches you how it moves. Look at where it broke your trail and avoid that kind of shot next time.
Each Super Hard win gives 10 coins, and 10 Super Hard wins unlock Super Hero, one of the rarest trophies in the game. Check the Stats page to see how few players have it.
