Activation

This skill can activate only while at least one breakable-rock, unbreakable-block, or Coin disruption exists on the board.

Note that before the first match executes, any unbreakable-blocks will decrement their expiration timers.

• If this causes them to disappear, then any adjacent rocks will also disappear.
• After the above operations complete, the first match's skill then checks the board.
• If none of the aforementioned disruptions remain at this point in time, then this skill will fail to activate.

Effect

When activated, this skill replaces 1 breakable-rock, unbreakable-block, or Coin disruption with an icon of the user.

• However, any black-cloud or barrier covering that replaced icon will remain.

Skill level growth

Increasing skill level will increase the activation rate.
