Combo reference

Artifact combo ladders

Every artifact category pays out at fixed combo counts. This is the whole set: which counts pay, and what the game announces at each of them, in its own wording.

20 ladders 77 rungs

The game does not spell out a ladder's arithmetic: nothing in it says whether the rungs below keep paying once you pass them, or whether each rung replaces the one under it. Every line here is what that rung announces on its own, never a running total.

How artifact combos pay out

Most artifacts carry one or more categories, printed on the card, and a few carry none at all. Hold enough of one category and its combo switches on. What the ladder actually reads is the combo count, which is normally just how many of that category you are carrying — the White Paper artifact, a potion, and duplicates merged under Wisdom can move it on their own. The counts that pay are fixed but not uniform: nine of the twenty ladders run 2/4/6/8/10, five pay nothing until 4, Lake pays at 3, 6 and 9, Alchemy at 1 and 2, and several stop at 4 or 6. The last rung often pays in a different currency from the ones below it, which is what makes climbing one ladder a different decision from opening several.

How to read this table

Start from the combo the game is already offering you:

  1. 1

    Find the combo your artifacts keep falling into and read its rows from the top: the left column is the combo count that rung needs, the right is what the game announces there.

  2. 2

    Check the top rung before you decide where to stop. Several ladders change what kind of reward they pay only at the last step, and five of them give nothing at all until the fourth artifact.

  3. 3

    Note the fruit beside each combo. Pointing your Fruit Skewer at it weights what the tower offers you, and so does simply carrying artifacts of that category.
