I love my Hobbit. More all the time, but I’m hitting a wall with my high scores.

I seem to be topping out around 1,500,000. I’ve killed Smaug 2 times, and never quite made it to the Battle of 5 armies multiball.

What are your guys’s Scoring strategies?
How do you approach the game for a good score?

Feeder modes?
Multi-balls?
Beast Jackpots?
SUPER Spinners?

Help me break 2,000,000!!!

Who else has some tips?

Quoted from JamesMxP:

My favorite trick is to save The Bait until after at least Into the Fire.
Start the bait, shoot only the left ramp, don’t try to complete the mode. It adds time and adds shot value. I’ve scored close to 700,000-800,000 just from The Bait and mode bonuses after.

Awesome, this is the stuff I’m looking for! Gotta run and go try it.
Thanks

I almost always go for the Lock Skillshot. It’s relatively easy to get most of the lights and Smaug multiball is where I typically get most of my points it seems.

I came across this map in another thread. Can I get some help deciphering the legend. It is the order to play the modes to get the best scores...

FEEDER MODE MAP LEGEND:

Mode Code = A - 5
Mode Name = Fall of Erebor etc etc.
Line 3 (Black Text +_) What does this mean, Play before? P{ay after?
Line 4 (Red Text +_) What does this mean, Play before? Play after?
