Shuffles, hints, blockers and revives: Field Shift boosts explained

Field Shift is a skill game first, but a little help at the right moment can save a great run. Here's what each tool does and when to use it.

Hint

A Hint points you toward a useful swipe. It's the best tool when you're learning or when a busy board makes it hard to see a match.

Shuffle

A Shuffle rearranges the balls on the field when you're running out of good moves.

• Every run includes one free shuffle.
• With the Ad-Free + 3 Shuffles upgrade, you get three free shuffles per run.
• You can earn extra shuffles by choosing to watch an optional rewarded video.

When to use it: a move or two before you're completely stuck. A shuffle on a crowded but playable board gives you more options than one on a nearly full board.

Blocker removal

Some situations leave a ball blocking the only path to a clear. An optional rewarded video can remove a blocker so the run can continue.

When to use it: when one specific ball is ruining an otherwise strong setup.

Revive

When a run ends, you may be offered an eligible revive by watching an optional video. A revive rewinds a few moves, giving you a chance to take a different path.

When to use it: on a run you care about, like a strong Daily Field score or a new personal best in Classic.

Are rewarded videos required?

No. All rewarded videos are optional. Shuffles, blocker removal and revives are there for when you want them. You can play every run without watching anything.

Ad-Free + 3 Shuffles

The one-time upgrade:

• removes automatic ad breaks between runs and when returning to the menu;
• gives three free shuffles per run instead of one;
• keeps optional rewarded videos available if you want extra boosts.

It's a single purchase, not a subscription. Restore it any time from Settings.

Get better, need less help

The best way to need fewer boosts is better positioning. The strategy tips and combo guide are a good place to start.
