Boosters and Power-Ups: Getting a Helping Hand in Candy Crush Saga

When you encounter particularly tough levels in Candy Crush Saga, Boosters can be your best friend. These powerful power-ups provide a significant advantage, helping you clear difficult obstacles, make crucial matches, or gain extra moves. While some are earned through gameplay, others can be purchased. Understanding what each Booster does and when to deploy them strategically can turn a losing streak into a triumphant victory, pushing you further into the Candy Kingdom.

Strategic Assistance: Utilizing Your Boosters

Turn the tide of a challenging level with a well-placed power-up.

• Lollipop Hammer:
  • Effect: Allows you to crush a single candy, blocker, or piece of jelly on the board.
  • Use: Perfect for removing a stubborn Meringue, clearing the last piece of Jelly, or taking out a high-threat Bomb Candy. It’s a precise tool.
• Striped & Wrapped Combo:
  • Effect: Places a pre-made Striped and Wrapped Candy combination directly onto the board.
  • Use: Activates a huge cross-shaped explosion (3 rows and 3 columns) instantly. Great for clearing large areas, especially jelly-filled ones.
• Color Bomb:
  • Effect: Places a Color Bomb onto the board.
  • Use: Allows you to clear all candies of a chosen color, which can be incredibly powerful for collecting orders or setting up massive cascades.
• Jelly Fish:
  • Effect: Summons three jelly fish that each eat one random piece of jelly (or blocker/candy if no jelly).
  • Use: Very useful for clearing those last few hard-to-reach jelly squares, especially in corners.
• Switch Hand:
  • Effect: Allows you to swap any two non-matching candies on the board.
  • Use: Great for creating a crucial special candy, completing an objective, or setting up a powerful combination that wasn’t otherwise possible.
• Extra Moves:
  • Effect: Grants additional moves for the current level.
  • Use: Often purchased when you’re just a few moves short of completing an objective on a very difficult level.
• Pre-Game Boosters: Some boosters can be activated before a level starts, placing them directly on the board from the beginning. This includes Striped Candies, Wrapped Candies, and Color Bombs.
• Earning Boosters: You can earn boosters through daily rewards, events, or by linking your game to Facebook.
• Strategic Use: Don’t waste boosters on easy levels. Save them for when you are genuinely stuck or for levels with very specific, difficult objectives.

Boosters are powerful aids in Candy Crush Saga, but using them wisely and strategically is key to maximizing their effectiveness and conquering the toughest challenges.
