Why should I hit the upper-left crown first in Smash Fest Level 45?

Because that slanted crown is the easiest topple angle. Once it falls, the center cylinders and right rockets lose most of their support.

Smash Fest! Level 45 Walkthrough

hard Target: 18 moves 5 colors

Smash Fest Level 45 is a stepped rocket tower that should be opened from the upper-left slanted crown so the middle supports loosen and the late right rockets become manageable.

Board Notes

Layout: A stepped rocket tower builds a slanted crown above purple center cylinders and side rocket posts. After the upper-left crown topples, the board shrinks into a low rocket-and-cylinder strip with a few taller right survivors.
Goal: You need to topple the left slanted crown first, loosen the center supports, and then clean the right rockets plus the last purple cylinders on the floor.
Opening: Start on the upper-left slanted rocket stack so the tallest crown begins leaning before the center cylinders lock it in place.
Danger Zone: Shooting the purple cylinders first leaves the crown at full height and wastes the easiest topple angle.
Mechanics: This is a crown-topple rocket tower where the upper-left slope should fall first and the late board becomes a low rocket-and-cylinder strip.

Quick Tips for Smash Fest! Level 45 (spoiler-free)

The upper-left crown is the trigger; the center cylinders are cleanup, not the opener.
With 5 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
