Match Masters Perks List at a Glance

Note: You can earn these perks for free by collecting the Daily Match Masters Gift Links.

With that, here is a list of all Match Masters perks:

1. Shuffle

You’ll get this basic perk while you play the tutorial level, which means no trophies required to unlock it. And you can always use it for free (unlimited).

Shuffle rearranges the entire board and gives you a fresh layout. You can use it when you don’t see a strong move or when every available match helps your opponent more than it helps you.

2. Hammer

You also get the Hammer at the tutorial level and it’s free too. This perk lets you remove one piece you choose. So you can use it to get rid of a piece that blocks a four/five match, to remove a red piece to prevent your opponent from charging their booster, or to trigger a special piece.

3. Mini Mastermind

When you activate the Mini Mastermind, it rearranges pieces to create better matches for you. It’s useful when the board gives you only weak options, and you need a stronger play to boost your score.

You’ll unlock the Mini Mastermind when you reach 675 trophies and then you can buy it for 150 coins for 5 perks or 500 coins for 20 perks.

4. Bomb Delivery

You unlock Bomb Delivery at 900 trophies. And it costs 200 coins for 5 perks or 700 coins for 20 perks.

Bomb Delivery drops a bomb in the center and clears the area around it. Use it when the middle of the board feels clogged or when there are nearby special pieces to trigger.

This perk is useful in some modes like:

• Bombs Away
• Match & Hatch
• Square Match
• Color Crystals

So yeah, let’s move to the next perk.

5. Create Lightning

Create Lightning will be available at 1,500 trophies and it costs 200 coins for 5 perks or 700 coins for 20 perks.

This perk adds two lightning pieces to the board. Sound simple?

But it’s powerful when you use it in combo with some perks or boosters. For example, you can use it with the Detonator to trigger the lightning pieces. Or you can use Mini Cleo to create multiple lightning pieces which can clear the entire board.

And of course, it can create a massive chain of lightning pieces when you use it with the legendary booster “Cleo Cadabra”.

Pretty cool, right?

6. Detonator

The detonator will trigger all special pieces currently on the board and you’ll unlock it when you reach 1,950 trophies. Then you can buy it for 200 coins for 5 perks or 700 coins for 20. However, Detonator won’t work if there is no special piece, which is why it’s a little hazardous. But if you want to avoid that, you need to combine it with Create Lightning to ensure you can use it.

This perk is effective in some modes such as:

• Bombs Away
• Lightning Strike
• Square Match
• Special O Rama

But it’s useless in the Blow ‘Em Up mode.

7. Mini Wand

Mini Wand perk is a minimized version of the golden booster “Magic Wand”, this perk removes all the pieces of a random color (the only difference is that the booster lets you choose the color). You get Mini Wand at 2,425 trophies and it costs 200 coins for 5 perks or 700 coins for 20 perks.

Very simple!

8. Remove Cross

Remove Cross has exactly the same ability as the golden booster “Laser Beam”. This perk will remove both the row and the column of the piece you choose. You have to reach 2,950 trophies and after that, you can buy more for 225 coins for 5 perks or 800 coins for 20 perks.

You can use this perk to target multiple special pieces on the board, which is why it’s helpful on some modes such as:

• Color Crystals
• Square Match
• Bombs Away

In fact, I always use this perk to charge my booster in Super Sprint where the boosters cost only half the energy (4 stars).

9. Energy Boost

Energy Boost makes your next match charge your booster as if you matched blue stars (even if you matched a different color). So this is my first option when I want to play the Color Crush mode where the matches explode all pieces of the same color (excluding blue/red).

The result?

My booster’s energy charges with one move.

You can unlock this perk at 3,400 trophies, and then you can get more for 250 coins for 5 perks or 900 coins for 20 perks.

10. Star Maker

You unlock Star Maker at 4,000 trophies and it costs 300 coins for 5 perks or 1,100 coins for 20 perks.

Star Maker adds blue star pieces at random spots on the board helping you charge your booster faster. Of course, you gotta get lucky to get the blue stars close together.

That’s it.

11. Teleport

Teleport is an amazing perk that lets you swap any two pieces that you choose on the board. Thankfully, you can rely on this perk to match blue stars, to trigger a special piece, or to secure an extra move.

Teleport gets the right piece where you need it!

You’re gonna unlock it when you reach 6,000 trophies, and it costs 250 coins for 5 perks or 900 for 20 perks.

12. Mini Cobra

With Mini Cobra, you can choose a column, and clone it to the right (including special pieces). And it works well in the Square Match mode. All you need is two pieces aligned vertically, then use this perk to clone that column which will give you an extra move.

This perk will be up for grabs at 10,000 trophies, and its cost is 250 coins for 5 perks or 900 coins for 20 perks.

13. Checkerboard

Checkerboard duplicates two random colors across the board in a checkerboard pattern. Many players use it with the Hammer in the Moves Multiplier or Column Mania modes. Since that’s where it really shines for scoring.

Checkerboard will be ready to use at 16,000 trophies and you can buy it with coins, 350 coins for 5 perks or 1,250 coins for 20 perks.

14. Mini Cleo

Mini Cleo is the strongest perk in Match Masters because it’s clutch in any game mode. Mini Cleo placees a scarab on the piece you select, then it transforms surrounding pieces into matching ones. Plus, you can clone blue stars, special pieces, and high-point pieces.

You unlock Mini Cleo at 30,000 trophies. Then you can get more for 400 coins for 5 perks or 1,450 coins for 20 perks.

Conclusion

That was the full Match Masters perks list.
