What buffs exist and what do they grant?
Stackable Buffs
These buffs can be collected multiple times in the same Rescue Pass season.
- Extra Weather Balloon - Grants +1 extra Weather Balloon use
- Extra Regular Mission - Grants +1 additional mission on the map
- Extra Support Mission - Grants +1 extra support mission
Time-Based Buffs
- Shortened Training Time (New) - Reduces training time in the Training Centre by 10%
- More Frequent Missions (New) - Reduces mission spawn waiting time by 25%
- Shortened Construction Time (New) - Reduces construction and upgrade times for unit buildings by 25%
Other Buffs
- Additional Trainer (New) - Grants you a second training slot in your training centre. You can train 2 units at the same time. The Shortened Training Time buff will apply to both training sessions. You can speed up or complete both training sessions with energy drinks and EMeralds separately.
- Double Coin Storage - Doubles your Coin Storage capacity. You will not lose any coins over your normal storage limit once the buff deactivates, but you will not be able to collect more coins until you are under your normal storage limit again.
- Fast Recovery - Injured emergency personnel are instantly healed should they die during a mission.
How do Buffs work?
Buffs activate automatically as soon as you unlock and collect them in the Rescue Pass.
They are passive bonuses, which means:
- No manual activation required
- Benefits apply automatically while active
Buffs remain active for the entire Rescue Pass Season and expire automatically when the season ends.
Special rules
Stackable Buffs
The following buffs can stack:
- Extra Weather Balloon
- Extra Regular Mission
- Extra Support Mission
If you unlock the same buff multiple times during one season, the effects add together.
Example:
- 1x Extra Mission = +1 mission
- 2x Extra Mission = +2 missions
Only identical buffs stack with each other.
Training and Construction Buffs
These buffs only apply when you start a new activity while the buff is active.
Includes:
- Shortened Training Time
- Shortened Construction Time
Example:
You unlock the buff first, then start training
→ buff applies
You start training first, then unlock the buff
→ buff does not apply to that training session
Important:
If training or construction started while the buff was active, the bonus remains until that task finishes — even if the Rescue Pass season ends in the meantime.
More Frequent Missions Buff
This buff reduces the wait time for the next mission spawn.
It only applies to future mission timers.
Example:
You unlock the buff, then finish a mission
→ Reduced wait time applies immediately to the next spawn
You are already waiting for a mission, then unlock the buff
→ Current timer is unchanged
Important:
If the next mission timer started while the buff was active, it keeps the reduced timer even if the Rescue Pass ends afterward.
