I Say It Means Shirtballs Stage Tips

For Guinaifen and Sushang's challenges, we recommend using Qingbird and equipping the Duplication Glue and Fantasy Coloring Paste with maximum enhancements. This also allows you to clear Challenge Goals and earn stars!

Duplicate Columns with a Super Bomb

I Say It Means Shirtballs - Duplicate Columns with a Super Bomb

You can use the Fantasy Coloring Paste to spawn Super Bombs on the board. Then, your Duplication Glue can make copies of the Super Bomb onto an adjacent column. This allows you to detonate adjacent Super Bombs to clear all fruits!

The more Super Bombs you detonate, the more you can trigger Qingbird's skill. This effectively allows you to continuously use your Battle Items to repeatedly spawn and duplicate Super Bombs to help clear out more fruit!

Use March Bird Against Huohuo

HSR Origami Bird Clash - March BirdMarch Bird For every 6 Strawberries eliminated, randomly transform 4 fruits on the board to Line Bombs. Line Bombs can detonate a row or a column when eliminated.

HSR Origami Bird Clash - Cleansing SprayCleansing Spray Select 1 fruit (aside from Super Bomb) to eliminate all fruits of the same kind

It's recommended that you use March Bird then equip the Peace Button and Cleansing Spray for the challenge against the Ghost Bird.

Eliminate Strawberries to Trigger Bird Skill

Try to eliminate as many Strawberries as you can to trigger March Bird's skill more often. You can also use the Cleansing Spray when there are lots of Strawberries on the board to get rid of them all at once!

Detonate Line Bombs with Peace Button
