Ability timing

Clean the Squishies Magic Ability guide

Magic Ability is strongest when it prevents a route collapse. Save it for clusters, long walks, or messy lanes that would cost more time than normal pickup/place cleanup.

PC timing

The official PC controls list G for Magic Ability. Do not treat it as a random button; attach it to a cleanup problem.

  • Use G when a cluster is slowing the lane.
  • Use it before inventory confusion spreads.
  • Do not spend it on a single easy squishy.

Controller route

The controller controls list Y for upgrades. That makes upgrade timing part of the route for console players.

  • Use RT for pickup/place.
  • Use LT to drop.
  • Use Y for upgrades.
  • Hold LT to squish.

Ability mistakes

Most ability mistakes come from using a power because it is ready, not because the route needs it.

  • Do not trigger on empty space.
  • Do not use while walking away from the mess.
  • Do not save it so long that it never fixes a real blocker.
