Clash of Critters Pinball Machine Guide: Slots & Shields

The slots

Tap any slot in-game to see its live percentage. Purple side slots also carry rotating event items (lightbulbs, cakes, screws) — 4 per x1 hit.

Shields and raids

Shields come only from the machine. When a pinball lands in the Star Slot and triggers a raid on your camp, a Shield blocks it (and is consumed); with no Shield the attacker wins a large amount of your candy. New accounts have 5 Shields; stages and techs raise the cap, and the Shield count shows top-left on the pinball screen. Shoot daily to keep it full.

Capsules and cards

Capsules come in Green, Blue, Purple and Wishbox rarities and drop pinballs, Tatari, card packs or candy. Reward cards from the centre hole are Blue/Purple/Gold and scale with the multiplier. The jackpot minigames are covered in the minigames guide.

Multipliers

Candy from events and cards scales with the multiplier (x40 = 40× candy), so bank pinballs and fire at high multiplier when you have lots — the official guide’s own tip. Multipliers unlock at your first boss star.

Where pinballs come from

Pinball Trees at camp (up to 8 with boss-star upgrades), clearing stages and expanding camp, events and Horde rankings, Dojo stages, daily/weekly/Goldrush quests, the machine itself, packs, and card-set completion. The “pinball tree max” is 8; “free/unlimited pinball” codes do not exist.

150-tier event tracks

Every rotating event (Mad Invention lightbulbs, Tatari Party cakes, Rebuild screws, plus the big co-op events) has a 150-tier reward track fed by its pinball currency — check progress via the event icon top-right of the pinball screen. The events guide lists what each pays.
