The skill shot should start at 1m and increment by 1m until it caps.
My objectives when I play:
- err on the side of plunging soft/short of the skill shot - a number of switches won't flip the skill shot off, and if you drain while the skill shot is lit, you get a ball save (multiple drains, even)
- modes, modes, modes. With the cumulative All Continents Visited effect + super jackpot on each, this is a big score.
- if you start a Road Show, hold the ball on the flipper and let it expire. There's just more you can be doing other than building up jewels while you're still alive/not being throttled by the right outlane in this game
I've tried to time up 2x scoring to multiballs or the easier modes/All Continents Visited super jackpot, but it's tough to make it work, especially considering sometimes the ball is hit too quickly for the diverter and/or ends up in the wrong lane anyways.
