In this video I go over how I use tools in the event! I hope by providing my commentary on my moves you are able to better understand how I think about the event, which will hopefully improve your play as well! I don't claim to be perfect, as you can see I even disagree with myself occasionally, but I think I do quite alright :)
You might have noticed that I didn't mention the 4th tool, the shiney new round thing at the bottom! That's the brand new "Orb", which is a new tool you can only buy for diamonds. Using it will reveal all the fog tiles on the board, allowing you to see where all the rewards are hidden on your current board. I didn't show it for 2 reasons: 1) I forgot to record it, because 2) I didn't end up using it myself on beta :P You do start with one of them, but any further you have to buy for diamonds. In some very specific scenarios it might be worth it, but personally I don't plan on getting any. If you do, good luck finding the best use of them! You can see how they work here: https://youtu.be/xWpmHjlLsXs?t=692
