Learn about the Zone mechanic in Tetris Effect: Connected, including how to activate it, its scoring multipliers, and the names of different Zone clear amounts.
The Zone mechanic is a key feature in Tetris Effect: Connected, allowing players to temporarily stop gravity and clear multiple lines simultaneously. This guide explains how to activate Zone, the scoring benefits, and the various names given to different line clear amounts within Zone.
Walkthrough
- 1Activate Zone by filling the Zone meter. This meter charges by performing line clears.
- 2Once activated, gravity stops, and cleared lines are pushed to the bottom.
- 3Zone ends when the timer runs out or the player tops out.
- 4Completed lines disappear with an explosion. The maximum Zone duration in Journey Mode is 20 seconds.
Tips
- Clearing lines charges the Zone meter. The amount of lines cleared affects the charge rate.
- Higher line clears within Zone, such as Octoris (8 lines) or more, provide scoring multipliers.
- Activating Zone when fully charged (20 seconds) grants an additional +1x multiplier, resulting in a maximum 3x multiplier.
