Pikmin Bloom: How To Get A High Score in Challenges | Screen Rant
Getting a high score in challenges will help Pikmin Bloom players level up, but they should use the same color Pikmin for additional damage.
Reaching higher levels in Pikmin Bloom makes it harder to complete certain challenges. For example, reaching level 50 requires players to get at least two stars in normal Mushroom Challenge Battles. In Pikmin Bloom, players are pushed to explore the world around them to plant flowers to make it more vibrant. Pikmin will grow passively with every step the player takes. As more levels are unlocked, more Pikmin types will become available. Although, it does take a while to unlock access to the Mushroom Challenges.
Pikmin Bloom expeditions are unlocked once the player reaches level 6. Now, it's possible to send Pikmin out into the world to collect fruit or seedlings. Although, there will be times when Mushrooms will appear in the world. Players can then send their Pikmin to destroy these Mushrooms for small bonuses. They range from Small, Medium, to Large, with Large having the highest HP of the bunch. It's also possible for up to five players to tackle a Mushroom Challenge at the same time. The faster the mushroom is destroyed, the more rewards and a higher-star rank will be given.
For starters, it's important to send it the same color Pikmin as the Mushrooms. For example, Winged Pikmin will do a lot more damage against Pink Mushrooms than any other type of Pikmin. Since players are only allowed to send in as many Pikmin as they have in their squad, it's recommended to grow all different types often. Not only that, but if these Pikmin are Decor Pikmin with flowers, they'll do even more damage. Players can grow Flower Pikmin by feeding them a variety of different nectar that comes from fruit. Feed them before sending them on an expedition to do more damage in Pikmin Bloom.
Currently, the max level in Pikmin Bloom is 60, with incredibly difficult tasks blocking that final level. Expeditions will become more important down the line as players are looking to reach the top. Reaching level 49 is the game's first roadblock, as it requires players to plant 14,000 flowers and walk over 1 million steps. This isn't too difficult for players who partake in the game passively, but the true challenge is the third requirement. The player will need to clear 10 normal challenges with 2-star ratings or higher.
Since Mushroom Battles spawn randomly, it's important to save a Pikmin's expeditions for when they do appear. Pikmin are only allowed to go on three expeditions per day outside of the special Pikmin Bloom Community Days. Regardless of the Mushroom Battle's size, the Pikmin will become too tired to go on any more Mushroom Battles for the day after three. They'll still be able to collect seedlings and fruit from the overworld so continue to do this to build up their friendship. Max friendship leads to more Decor Pikmin which leads to faster Mushroom Battle victories.
Pikmin Bloom is available now on iOS and Android.
