Magma Booster is an item players may accumulate over a run. This card is exclusive to the Clunkmasters Tribe.

Strategy

The Magma Booster is best used on cards with Frenzy.png Frenzy to make its Attack.png attack boost multiple times more effective. While adding Aimless can be an inconvenience, it matters less if the boosted card deals enough damage or has enough Frenzy. However, the Magma Booster cannot be used on any cards that already have Aimless, such as a card with the Gnome Charm.pngGnome Charm attached or a card that the Magma Booster was previously used on. This applies even if that card is Ink.png Inked and loses all abilities.

Cards like Berry Blade.png Berry Blade, Snobble.png Snobble, and Tinkerson Jr.png Tinkerson Jr. interact interestingly with the Magma Booster, as their effects scale with their attack stat.

Because Aimless and Barrage are mutually exclusive, whichever ability was applied most recently will overwrite the other. As a result, using the Magma Booster on a card with Barrage will cause it to lose Barrage, which can be useful to remove Barrage from an enemy card. The Gachapomper.png Gachapomper has a special interaction with this behavior when the Magma Booster is used on an ally. Moving the Gachapomper into the other row causes the first row to lose Barrage, and moving it back reapplies Barrage, thus overwriting Aimless for free. This completely negates the downside of the Magma Booster as long as the Gachapomper remains on the field.

The inability to use the Magma Booster on a card that already has Aimless is problematic in the fight with The Toothy Shades, as Smog.png Smog immediately makes the player's whole field Aimless. However, this can be circumvented by using the Magma Booster on the intended card while that card is still in hand and has not yet gained Aimless from Smog.
