The fishing event in Tiles Survive seems straightforward when you first try it. You drop bait, pull fish, watch your points climb, and it feels pretty relaxed. But after a few runs, most players notice the same thing — it’s very easy to burn through bait without getting much in return if you don’t do things in the right order.
A lot of that comes down to how you start and when you use certain helpers.
Tiles Survive Fishing Event Guide – Rewards, Tips
One of the biggest things to get right is the path you pick at the beginning. You don’t want to start on the standard side. Starting on the other path lets you reach deeper fishing levels much faster. If you begin on the basic one instead, you end up spending a lot of bites just catching smaller fish before you can move forward.
The assistants are another place where people slip up. It’s really tempting to use them early, especially when you start missing catches and feel like you’re wasting bait. But they help much more if you hold onto them until your last few fishing attempts. Using them early doesn’t change much because you’re still stuck in the lower zones anyway.
Ranking rewards might look appealing at first, but they’re actually pretty small. Even reaching the top rank mainly gives a few blueprints and some speedups. Because of that, pushing hard just to climb the leaderboard usually doesn’t pay off the way people expect.
Most of the useful rewards come from completing the event tasks. As you keep fishing and earning points, those milestones are where you actually see steady returns.
One small thing that can make fishing easier is playing on a computer or emulator. Using a mouse gives you a clearer view and more precise control. On mobile, your hand often blocks part of the screen while you’re trying to move the hook, which makes things harder than they need to be.
Once you get the order down — starting on the right path, saving assistants until late, and focusing on task progress — the event feels much smoother, and you don’t end up wasting nearly as much bait
