The Mini Mastermind perk automatically rearranges some pieces on the board to create special matches. When activated, it identifies potential high-value matches and adjusts the board accordingly.

The Bomb Delivery perk places a bomb in the center of the board, exploding all pieces around it.

When you activate the Create Lightning perk generates two lightning pieces on the board.

8. Remove Cross

Unlock requirement: 2,950 trophies
Cost for 5 perks: 225 Coins

Cost for 5 perks: 250 Coins
Cost for 20 perks: 900 Coins

The Energy Boost perk allows your next match to charge your booster, regardless of the color of the pieces.

10. Star Maker

Unlock requirement: 4,000 trophies

The Teleport perk allows you to switch two pieces on the board, giving you the flexibility to set up strategic matches.

Once activated, you can swap any two pieces and lock in your move to gain an advantage.

12. Mini Cobra

Unlock requirement: 10,000 trophies
Cost for 5 perks: 250 Coins
Cost for 20 perks: 900 Coins

The Mini Cobra perk allows you to choose a column on the board and clone it to the right. If you select the far-right column, it will clone to the left. This cloning effect creates more match opportunities by duplicating key pieces.

13. Checkerboard

Unlock requirement: 16,000 trophies
Cost for 5 perks: 350 Coins
Cost for 20 perks: 1250 Coins

The Checkerboard perk duplicates two random colors on the board, creating a checkerboard pattern. This perk is especially effective when you’re using boosters designed to remove specific colors, as it increases the presence of those colors on the board, making it easier to trigger more powerful matches.

14. Mini Cleo

Unlock requirement: 30,000 trophies
Cost for 5 perks: 400 Coins
Cost for 20 perks: 1450 Coins

The Mini Cleo perk allows you to place a scarab on any piece of your choice.
