Recommended Way to Use the Skill
Captain Lightyear can also be used for score runs, but it’s hard, and even then you’ll top out at around 100 million points.
So here we’ll focus on the much easier coin farming method.
Right away, press the shuffle button once to even out the board.
Tap around the circle on the right, then immediately tap the circle on the left to clear the board cleanly.
As a guide, aim just to the left of the red button, down along the left side.
Aiming here puts your second tap in Time Bubble range, which makes it easier to post big results.
Time your taps around the circle at the top to catch Tsums as they drop in.
Tap as high up as the game will still register.
Practice to find your own rhythm for the timing.
Ideally, you want to clear in the high 20s per tap.
That’s all there is to it, but here are a few tips specific to Captain Lightyear.
Entering Fever
You want to get into Fever as fast as possible, so here’s the best timing for using the skill.
If you make your first tap when the Fever gauge is at about this level, you’ll enter Fever right on your fifth tap.
Sometimes it’s better to wait a moment until the gauge reaches this point before tapping.
Skill Carry-Over
Captain Lightyear doesn’t require much skill to farm coins, but skill carry-over is a must.
It works the same as regular carry-over, but here’s what to keep in mind with Captain Lightyear.
As shown in the video, save one Bubble from your previous skill for carry-over.
This makes carry-over much easier and lets you keep a skill loop going.
It’s also important to know how much carry-over you need to keep the skill loop going.
Rating by Skill Level
It becomes usable for coin farming from Skill Level 4.
At Skill Level 6, it’s one of the best coin farmers in the game.
It’s completely safe to use Skill Tickets on it.
