The chances of winning are, however, not random. It's a case of observing patterns and playing to your advantages.\r<br\/>I'll let you in on my strategy as an example:\r<br\/>The 'enemy' elements change by one each frame. Timing is key. Each time the plant grows, it splits it's elements between you and the 'enemy'. This can give you an advantage. If your fire element is stronger than theirs, you will win a tie with fire. So if the 'enemy' is bouncing between leaf and fire, choose fire for a guaranteed! But keep an eye on the element values because they change every time the plant grows."},{"author_name":"Pusty","author_uid":"55076","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:52pm","epoch":1450212420,"text":"I just spammed water and my plant just grew. lol\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But the music and art was awesome!"},{"author_name":"nexust","author_uid":"24739","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 9:04pm","epoch":1450213140,"text":"You got REALLY lucky!
