Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Focus on the icings at the center of the upper half

Candy Crush Soda Level 397 is medium level to beat, but you must also be very smart in your moves. You must find 20 bears in 35 or fewer moves and reach at least 10,000 points to pass this level. The board is separated into two with nothing joining the bottom row to rest apart from one column. The trick is to start working on the top half where there is more icing to be cleared. You can start with regular candy matching at the initial stage, but as the playing field opens up, you may use the special candies to do the rest. With the most of the upper half icings cleared, it will be easy to deal with the remainder of the board, and you will find the passing Candy Crush Soda Level 397 to be very easy Soda

Use special candies to clear the bottom row

The bottom row of Candy Crush Soda Level 397 is somehow isolated from the main board, and this makes it hard to deal with it directly. There are also some bears hidden under its multi-layered ice blocks, and thus, you must design some moves that can remove these blockers quickly. Use of special candies is the best method that you can employ to deal with this row. A Color bomb combination is one of the most effective ways that you can employ. Combining a color bomb with a striped candy will form multiple striped candies all over the board, and their effects will go down to the lower row. A combination of striped candy and wrapped candy will also have tangible effects on the lower row. With these combinations, beating Candy Crush Soda Level 397 will not be a headache. Soda

Use fish candies in the last stage

Once you have saved almost all the bears in Candy Crush Soda Level 397, the last stage will be crucial in determining whether you have what it takes to beat this level. In the final phase, the remaining moves are very few and sometimes, you may find some of the icings awkwardly placed and hard to reach. This happens mostly in the corners and also the bottom row where the regular candy matching and some special candies cannot be used. This is where the use of the fish candy becomes very crucial in completing this level. You only need to activate the available fish on the board or create yours by matching four candies in the form of 2x2. The fish will swim and clear the remaining icing to save the last set of bears to beat Candy Crush Soda Level 397.
