Boosters (referred to as “boosters” in the game—players often call them “boosters”) are temporary items that you activate manually and that provide a temporary bonus to expeditions, loot, your fleet, and so on. Below is an explanation of how they work and what each one provides. All figures are taken from the game’s code.
Where the data comes from. The names and numbers of the effects come directly from the game engine (the War of Alliances universe). The cards for each booster can be found in the Boosters section of the encyclopedia.
How Amplifiers Work
- Duration: 4 hours. Once activated, the booster operates for 4 hours, then turns off (a game message appears indicating that it has ended).
- Up to 3 can be active at the same time. You cannot have more than three amplifiers on at once.
- The effects stack. Bonuses from active boosters stack with each other and with other bonuses (research, Senate, alliance, premium).
- For the entire account. The booster affects the player as a whole, not just one planet.
- One type at a time. You cannot activate an amplifier of the same type that is already active.

How to Get Amplifiers
Boosters are stored in your account's inventory and activated from there. Check the game itself for specific ways to obtain them—they aren't explicitly defined in the code, so we won't be making them up here.
