The new Fishing Event in Clash of Critters brings new fish and a different look, but the basic strategy is still mostly the same. If your goal is to collect as many rewards as possible or compete for the top spot on the leaderboard, you only need to focus on a few important things. The biggest priorities are getting the best fishing pole, using your bait correctly, working with your team, and catching heavy fish. You do not need to completely change how you play the event.
3 Best Tips for Clash of Critters Fishing Event
1. Get the Best Fishing Pole
One of the most important goals is reaching 5,600 Silver Coins to unlock the final fishing pole. This pole gives 4 Luck, making it useful for improving your chances of getting heavier fish.
Once you have the best pole, use it together with your teammates and keep fishing consistently. More catches mean more chances to earn Silver Coins and progress through the event rewards.
Try to prioritize this fishing pole before spending too much time on other upgrades.
2. Use 8 Bait Before Farming
Bait is an important part of the Fishing Event. It is recommended to reach 8 bait before you start seriously farming fish. With 8 bait and the x1 setting, you have a better chance of getting fish with higher weights and better rarities.
A simple setup is:
- Get 8 bait.
- Equip your best Luck fishing pole.
- Set the fishing multiplier to x1.
- Play with three active teammates.
- Focus on catching heavy fish.
- Never let the fishing timer run out.
3. Understand Silver Coins and Gold Coins
Catching fish gives you Silver Coins. The amount you receive depends on the fish’s weight and the multiplier provided by your fishing poles.
Gold Coins work differently. They are connected to catching the heaviest fish compared with the other players in your group. The fishing pole multiplier does not increase your Gold Coins.
This means Silver Coins are mainly useful for progressing through the event reward tiers, while Gold Coins are more important for competing on the leaderboard.
4. Use the Automatic Fishing Start
When the game asks you to launch your fishing pole, you do not always have to press the button immediately. You can let the timer reach the end, and the fishing process will start automatically. This can save a few seconds on each attempt. When you are fishing for a long period, those saved seconds can add up to several extra catches. It is a small trick, but it can be useful when you are trying to maximize your total score.
How to Compete for the Leaderboard
If you only want the event rewards, you do not need to spend hours chasing first place. However, reaching the top of the leaderboard requires much more consistent fishing. Keep checking the leaderboard during the event. Do not assume your position is safe just because you are currently ahead. Another player can catch a heavy fish and pass you at any time. After overtaking another player, it can be useful to continue fishing for around 30 more minutes. Creating a larger gap makes it harder for other players to catch up.
Should You Buy Pinballs?
Players who are willing to spend money can use Pinball packs to speed up their progress. The $10 and $20 options can provide a useful boost if your main goal is reaching more reward tiers. However, spending money is not required to participate in the event. Free players can still progress by fishing consistently and using the rewards they earn. If you do decide to spend, focus on getting enough Pinballs to reach the reward tiers you actually want instead of buying them without a specific goal.
New Fish and Cosmetic Changes
The new Fishing Event includes several new fish, although some fish from the previous event can still appear. The Tatari you use does not change your fishing rewards, tier rating, or fishing performance. It is mainly a cosmetic choice.
You can change your Tatari through your player profile if you want to use a different appearance. Your teammates may be able to see the character you have selected, but it does not provide a major gameplay advantage.
Best Strategy for Maximizing Rewards
If you want to get the most out of the Fishing Event, keep your strategy simple and consistent.
- Reach 5,600 Silver Coins for the fishing pole with 4 Luck.
- Get 8 bait before serious farming.
- Use the x1 fishing setting.
- Play with active teammates.
- Focus on catching heavy fish.
- Check the leaderboard regularly.
- Keep fishing after overtaking another player.
- Try to build a comfortable lead instead of barely staying ahead.
- Do not let the fishing timer run out.
- Use quick taps to speed up the mini-game.
- Take advantage of automatic fishing starts.
- Use Pinballs only if you want to push through reward tiers faster.
The new Clash of Critters Fishing Event does not require a completely different strategy. The main system is still about fishing consistently, getting heavy fish, collecting Silver Coins, and working with your team.
The most important upgrade is the 4 Luck fishing pole at 5,600 Silver Coins, followed by using 8 bait and the x1 setting. If you are competing for the leaderboard, keep fishing even after taking the lead and build a large enough gap to make it difficult for other players to catch you.
For players focused mainly on rewards, consistent fishing and good bait management should be enough to make solid progress throughout the event.
