What is Beam Blast?
Beam Blast is a special booster in Match Masters, designed to help players clear tiles and score high points in matches. When activated, the Beam Blast sends out horizontal and vertical beams across the game board, clearing rows and columns of tiles. This effect can lead to massive point gains and set up new opportunities for combos, giving you a strategic advantage over your opponent.
How to Use Beam Blast Effectively
Using Beam Blast effectively requires timing and strategy. Since it clears both horizontal and vertical lines, it can help remove large portions of the board and create new matching opportunities. Here’s how to make the most out of Beam Blast during your matches:
- Charge Your Beam Blast Booster: Like all boosters in Match Masters, you need to charge Beam Blast before using it. You can do this by making matches of a specific color associated with the booster (check your booster meter for the required color). The more matches you make, the faster your Beam Blast will charge.
- Plan for Maximum Impact: Since the Beam Blast clears full rows and columns, aim to use it when the board is densely packed with tiles of the same color. This way, the beams can trigger massive matches and combos, leading to more points and potentially charging your booster again.
- Target Special Tiles: Beam Blast can also be used to activate special tiles like bombs, rockets, or disco balls, which can lead to chain reactions and even greater point boosts. If you see special tiles on the board, try to position your Beam Blast in a way that will trigger them.
Strategies for Winning Matches with Beam Blast
While Beam Blast is a powerful booster, using it correctly is what makes the difference between a standard play and a high-scoring turn. Here are some strategies to keep in mind:
1. Wait for the Right Moment
It might be tempting to use Beam Blast as soon as it’s charged, but patience is key. Look for a time when the board is set up to make the most impact. The best moment to use Beam Blast is when a single move can clear multiple rows and columns or when it will trigger other special tiles for a larger combo.
2. Combine Beam Blast with Other Special Tiles
The power of Beam Blast can be amplified by combining it with other special tiles like bombs, rockets, or disco balls. For example, if you have a bomb and use Beam Blast in its row or column, the bomb will explode, clearing an even larger section of the board. The same applies to rockets and disco balls, so keep an eye on the board layout for potential combos.
3. Use Beam Blast Defensively
If you notice your opponent is setting up a powerful move, Beam Blast can be used to disrupt their strategy. Since it clears entire rows and columns, you can use it to break up their potential combos, preventing them from scoring big on their next turn.
4. Focus on Filling Your Booster Meter Quickly
To use Beam Blast more frequently, prioritize making matches of the color that charges the booster. The quicker you fill your booster meter, the more opportunities you’ll have to unleash the Beam Blast during a match. Pay attention to the board, and always look for opportunities to create matches of your booster’s color.
When Should You Use Beam Blast?
Beam Blast is ideal for players who want a powerful, board-clearing effect that can significantly swing the match in their favor. It’s especially useful when:
- The board is cluttered with tiles, and you need to make space for new matches.
- You see an opportunity to create large combos and gain a lot of points.
- Your opponent is setting up a big move, and you need to disrupt their strategy.
Keep in mind that Beam Blast’s effectiveness depends on the board’s layout, so always look for the best opportunities to unleash its power.
