What Are Match Masters Perks & How Do They Work?
Match Masters Perks are strategic in-game tools designed to give you an extra edge during live matches. Unlike automatic board elements, you must select up to two perks before entering a match, and each selected perk can be activated once per game.
Here are a few important mechanics to keep in mind:
- Match-Specific Availability: Once selected for a match, your perks are consumed for that specific game, regardless of whether you end up activating them or not.
- Free vs. Premium Perks: There are 10 unique perk types in Match Masters. Two default perks (Hammer and Shuffle) are permanently free, while the remaining eight are premium tools.
- How to Unlock Perks: Premium perks can be acquired through main events, side quests, special tournaments, trophy milestones, or purchased directly with coins.
As you move up in rank, facing opponents with top-tier boosters becomes common. Knowing how to pair the right perks with your playstyle helps level the playing field.
Match Masters Perks Types and Powers
Every perk serves a specific strategic purpose. Here is a breakdown of all 10 perks available in Match Masters, along with tips on how to maximize their potential.
1. Hammer (Free Perk)
The Hammer allows you to select and destroy any single piece on the board. Use it wisely to trigger cascade matches, activate special pieces, or earn an extra move by connecting difficult combinations.
2. Shuffle (Free Perk)
When you run out of optimal moves or the board state works against you, the Shuffle perk mixes up every tile on the board to generate brand-new match possibilities.
3. Star Maker
When activated, Star Maker drops extra blue stars onto your board. This makes it significantly easier to complete blue star matches, charge your booster rapidly, or craft high-value special pieces.
4. Bomb Delivery
The Bomb Delivery perk places a bomb right in the center of the board, immediately blowing up surrounding pieces upon activation. It is ideal for clearing cluttered boards and gathering fast points.
5. Detonator
The Detonator perk triggers every special piece currently present on the board all at once. For maximum impact, save this perk for moments when multiple special pieces are scattered across the board. Note: At least one special piece must be present on the board to activate Detonator.
6. Create Lightnings
Activating Create Lightnings places two lightning pieces at random positions on your board. You can trigger them manually by matching or using a Detonator perk to clear entire rows or columns.
7. Teleport
Teleport offers complete tactical flexibility by allowing you to swap any two pieces on the board. Whether you need to position a blue star next to a match or move a blocking piece out of the way, Teleport helps secure high-scoring setups.
8. Mini Mastermind
Inspired by the popular Mastermind booster, Mini Mastermind automatically rearranges several pieces on the board to form optimal special combinations without taking up your move strategy.
9. Explode Column
The Explode Column perk allows you to select any targeted column and obliterate all pieces within it. This includes special pieces or objective items in limited-time game modes, making it an invaluable tool for clutch plays.
10. Mini Wand
Similar to the Magic Wand gold booster, Mini Wand selects one random color on the board and clears every tile of that color. Clearing a single color creates cascading matches and opens up space for special piece creation.
