How to use Splitters and the board Joker in Reality Bay

A Splitter and a board Joker solve opposite item-level problems in Reality Bay. A Splitter turns an item into two from the previous level; a board Joker helps an eligible item advance to its next level. Check the order's requested level before choosing either tool.

Use a Splitter for an item that is too advanced

The official Splitter guide describes splitting and an Undo option for an accidental split. More than one Splitter can be used if you need to keep stepping an item down.

Our suggestion is to check three things first: the level you need, enough room to handle the resulting items, and whether you would rather keep the higher-level item for another order. Rebuilding a lower item may be an alternative when you want to preserve the advanced one.

For example, if an order needs the previous level of an item you already own, inspect whether a split fits that request.

Stack Splitters to reduce clutter

Official help says Splitters of the same type can be dragged together into a stack on the board. Use the stack on a target item, and check its information counter for the uses remaining. Move stored Splitters onto the board to stack or use them.

Stacking is useful when several tools are occupying working space. Choose the next target from your current requests.

Use the board Joker for the next level

The official board Joker guide describes merging it with an eligible board item to create that item's next level.

Our planning suggestion is to consider it when that next level directly helps an order. First check the requested item, any useful matching piece you already have, and the other task you would delay by spending the Joker here.

Special event items may be excluded from these tools. Inspect eligibility before treating either as a solution. If you are choosing a missing album card instead, read the separate Joker Card guide.
