How Combos Work
A combo is built by clearing lines on consecutive piece placements. Each successive clear increases your combo counter.
Combo Scoring
Combo bonus = 50 x combo count x level
This bonus is added on top of the normal line clear points.
Combo Garbage (Multiplayer)
Combos also add extra garbage lines:
| Combo | Bonus Garbage |
|---|---|
| 1 | +0 |
| 2-3 | +1 |
| 4-5 | +2 |
| 6-7 | +3 |
| 8+ | +4 |
This is additive - a Quad at combo 8 sends 4 (base) + 4 (combo) = 8 lines!
Breaking Combos
Your combo resets to 0 when you place a piece without clearing any lines. This also triggers any queued incoming garbage to appear on your board.
Combo Strategy
- Build a wide, flat stack with intentional gaps to enable consecutive clears
- Even Singles (0 garbage normally) contribute to combo garbage bonus
- Long combos are devastating in multiplayer - a 10+ combo can send massive amounts of garbage
- Combos are especially powerful in Battle Royale for farming badges
