1. Play some cards!

As you learn during the tutorial, playing cards can turn the tides of battle if you play them strategically. With that said, you have the option of enabling playing cards during the single player campaign. I recommend it as they can really help you in a tight spot, but make sure you earn some coins beforehand to buy some booster packs!

2. Take out the enemy worms fast!

Each level has three stars to earn. Stars are awarded based on level completion time, so try to watch the battlefield closely. Plan your moves out ahead so that you don’t take too much time during your turns!

3. Keep an eye on the wind meter!

At the top right corner of the screen, you’ll see blue arrows pointing either right of left. This is the wind indicator. The direction the arrows are pointing in correspond to the direction the wind is blowing. The more arrows there are, the stronger the wind is. Certain weapons and items – such as the bazooka – are affected by wind power, so be wary!

4. Use knockback weapons for worms close to the edge!

Keeping an eye on the environment is key to taking down the enemy worms! Always keep a look out for worms that are a tad too close to the water. Get right next to them and use a weapon with strong knockback such as the bat or fire punch and smack ’em good! Once a worm is swimming with the fishes, it’s instant death!

5. Use the ninja rope to get around easier!

Terrain too wonky for you to jump around? Try using the ninja rope! The ninja rope lets you stick to a surface and swing your worm around. It’s great for getting around weird mountains and hills, and is extremely useful for positioning your worms.

6. Try out different team compositions!

A new feature added in Worms 3 are worm classes. There are four classes: soldier, scout, scientist, and heavy.

  • The soldier is the all-around class, equal in everything but excels at nothing.
  • The scout moves the fastest and jumps the highest and has a tiny body to boot, making it harder to hit. His weapon damage is the weakest out of the four classes.
  • The scientist’s stats are closest to the soldier, though a little weaker. However, at the beginning of the scientist’s turn, every worm on his team is healed for 5 HP health.
  • The heavy is the slowest and least mobile of the worms. He’s the biggest out of all the worms, making him an easy target. To compensate, he’s got higher health than normal and he does the most damage out of all the classes.

By default, you will have one of each on your team. You can try experimenting around with the classes to see what fits your playstyle!
