Boosters in Royal Match and how to use them

Each level in Royal Match brings with it a unique puzzle to solve. Each move of a tile can be the last one you need before victory, or it can be the one that takes you back to the title screen. Luckily, there are a few helping hands in the form of boosters, which are power-ups that knock off tiles and help you win the day.
This guide offers everything you need to know about boosters, including what each one does and the best way to use it.

Pre-game boosters

Pre-game boosters are essentially "starter power-ups," that you can choose and add to your board before starting a level. Whichever power-ups you activate will replace one of the tiles on the starting board, giving you a slight edge right out of the gate.
Pre-game booster options are:
  • Rocket – The rocket fires either horizontally or vertically, hitting every tile in its path
  • Light Ball – When switched with a tile, the Light Ball targets every tile of the same color and instantly zaps them
  • TNT – TNT creates a massive explosion when activated, breaking every tile in the immediate area

In-game boosters

As you continue to complete levels and build out your castle, you’ll eventually unlock extra in-game boosters, which appear at the bottom of the screen while playing any level. Each of these limited-use boosters can help you make some headway on the board if you're stuck since you can activate them whenever you need to.
In-game booster options are:
  • Royal Hammer – Destroy a single tile without using a move, allowing you to pinpoint a pesky tile or line up two power-ups to create massive combos
  • Arrow – Clear out a full horizontal row of tiles and obstacles all at once
  • Cannon – Almost exactly like the Arrow, but it targets a vertical column rather than a horizontal row
  • Jester Hat – Shuffle all the tiles on the board without a single move, opening up new moves and avenues for your strategy

Using boosters wisely

Each booster is best in certain scenarios, so using one thoughtlessly might be less useful than not using one at all. Part of what makes these boosters so appealing is that they can swing an entire game in your favor in the right moment – as long as you can recognize that moment when it appears.
The Royal Hammer, for instance, can line up a tile to generate a TNT or Light Ball with stellar efficiency, and help you win the level depending on how close you are to finishing. The Jester Hat, meanwhile, effectively resets the board, which gives you a fresh set of tiles to look over and find the best move.
Boosters are crucial to victory in Royal Match, and it's important to know how they can help you win, as well as the best time to deploy them in the first place.
