Here is our bonus guide for beginners to quickly glance through all that they need to keep in mind for progressing through and scoring goals in the jungles, Polynesia, and, the Wild West. What follows next are some useful tips and tricks from our experience of playing the game.
1. Be sure to en-cash on the Daily Login Rewards
Each day when you log in, you will be greeted with a login reward in some form, be it Coins, Gems, or some other accessory. So, players must make sure to log in every consecutive day to collect all the Rewards and bonuses. If you miss a day, the reward may be canceled and you may not get that reward for that day.
2. Keep your eye on the Missions section
When you log in for the first time during the day/week, your first aim should be to navigate to the Missions tab. A set of challenges is set for players to complete, each day. The objectives set are pretty easy to comply with, like performing a said number of tackles on that day, purchasing Stars from the game’s Locker Room, using equipment in a game, etc.
Completing these challenges would earn you rewards in the form of accessories and in-game Coins and Gems, the utility of which has already been discussed in the previous segment. Besides the daily missions, Land of Goals also comes with certain Weekly Missions. Unlike the Daily Missions, you get the entire week to complete the Weekly rewards. So, ensure that you are en-cashing on these freebies.
3. Equip your avatar with accessories to enhance their in-game performance
Accessories in Land of Goals come in the form of Headgears, Outfits, Trousers, Cleats, Shoes, and other miscellaneous items that can be worn by your player. Every item of equipment is associated with a main base skill. Starting from top to bottom, they are:
- Velocity– Enhances your dribbling speed on the pitch
- Tackle– Enhances your tackling ability by allowing you to make stronger dribble movements
- Shot– Enhances your shooting prowess.
These accessories can be earned from time to time by unlocking new chests and winning games. As you keep progressing, players will unlock more powerful accessories of higher rarity. While you have them, make sure that you are also equipping your players with these accessories as they enhance their in-game performance to a great extent. Besides equipping, players also get the option to upgrade the accessories of their avatar by spending some in-game Coins. Don’t hesitate to spend the coins here as these outfits only make your player’s match performance better.
4. Purchase stars from the LA-LIGA hub to strengthen your lineup
As you progress through the levels, you also need to keep on signing players with higher base skills. In the Locker Room section, users will come across an encircled plus icon that comes with an Add Player label. Players must tap on that to visit the LA-LIGA hub and sign the players that are available to sign.
You may even re-roll the set by spending a nominal amount of in-game Coins. Make sure you are accumulating ample amounts of Coins by completing the Missions and unlocking Chests from time to time.
5. Decide on your Shot Power based on the range
In Land of Goals, you can go for a powerful shot by holding the Shot button in the right direction, for a prolonged duration. If you are attempting to score from a range, go for the Power Shot.
However, when you are near the post, just going for the Normal Shot will serve your purpose. To effect the same, simply tap on the Shot button once.
6. Hold on to the Speed Booster button while in possession
When you are holding possession of the ball, always make sure that you hold down the Speed booster button on the right side. This would ensure that your player sprints past the opponent players and make sure you do not lose possession.
7. Perform powerful tackles to knock down your opponent
Instead of going for the normal tackle, you can also go for a Power tackle by holding down the Tackle button on the right side. This will make your player perform a Sliding tackle. With no fouls and bookings in the game, it’s even more fun.
8. Do not forget to Switch Controls
With the global launch, the Switch and Pass buttons have also been added. Your Stars can only mark one player at a time. If your opponent has passed on the ball to another teammate or is no longer in the vicinity of your Star, make sure you also Switch controls to a Support star and try stealing the ball with that Star.
9. Utilize the Power-Up Items as and when they are available
To get you an upper hand over your opponent, the game provides you with a Power-Up button that needs a few seconds of refill, once used. There are three such Power-Up buttons available in Land of Goals:
- Power-Up Teleport: Probably the most over-powered tool that can be utilized when your opponent is in possession. Tapping on it can make you switch places with your opponent.
- Power-Up Shield: Can be utilized to protect yourself from Tackles and Power Shots
- Power-Up Goalkeeper: Since it’s a 3V3 encounter, no player would be defending the goal by default. With this feature, you can summon a Dummy Goalkeeper for 4 seconds to safeguard your goal. Make sure that you utilize this tool (as and when it is available) if your opponent is within the scoring vicinity. If your opponent has summoned a Dummy Goalkeeper, you can destroy it with a Power Shot.
So, make sure that you are utilizing these Power-up options when they are available.
