Power Stone

Summary

 * Power Stones are used to make Statues.
 * There are 4 types of Power Stones: Life, Ice, Magma, and Dark.
 * There are 3 sizes of Power Stones: Fragment, Shard, and Crystal.
 * It is possible to get Power Stones and keep them before you have built the Sculptor. Any Power Stones you get are stored on your base. You just will not be able to see how many Power Stones you have until the Sculptor is built, nor are they usable until then.
 * Any Power Stones that you own cannot be lost to attackers. If your home base is destroyed and the attacker wins one or more Power Stones, the Power Stones they get are newly generated by the game as a part of the attacker's loot bonus.

Power Stone Chance

 * When a base is destroyed, you have a 25% chance that the Headquarters will give you a Power Stone. Every other building on the base has a 2% chance that it will drop a Power Stone.
 * If you do get a Power Stone from a building, there is an 85% chance it will be a Fragment, 12% chance it will be a Shard, and a 3% chance it will be a Crystal.
 * A certain type of Dark Statue boosts Power Stone chances. The extra chance percentage given by the statue is multiplied with each building's base chance. For example, if you have a total of +100% Power Stone chance from your statues, the enemy's Headquarters has a 50% chance of giving a Power Stone, and every other building has a 4% chance.
 * The number of buildings that you destroy before destroying the Headquarters does not affect your Power Stone Chance in any way. Every building blows up anyway when the HQ is destroyed, and they all have the chance to contain a Power Stone.
 * You will always get at least one Power Stone from Dr. Terror levels, and Lt. Hammerman levels always give a predefined set of Power Stones. The above chances do apply to these levels, however. You CAN get more Power Stones in addition to the guaranteed ones, though this is not guaranteed.
 * You can also get Power Stones from Submarine dives and Daily Rewards. To see how many Power Stones that you get in each Victory Point range, see the chart here.

Fragment

 * Fragments are the smallest pieces of a Power Stone. When seven Fragments of the same type are combined, they create an Idol, the smallest and least powerful Statue.

Shard

 * Shards are the medium-sized Power Stone. Combining seven Shards of the same type creates a Guardian, the medium-sized Statue. Guardian Statues are guaranteed to be more powerful than even the best possible Idol.
 * Idols may be reclaimed to receive one Shard of the same type of Power Stone used to create the Idol.

Crystal

 * Crystals are the largest Power Stone. Combining seven Crystals of a single type create a Masterpiece, the largest and most powerful Statue. Masterpiece Statues are guaranteed to be more powerful than even the best possible Guardian.
 * Guardians may be reclaimed to receive one Crystal of the same type of Power Stone used to create the Guardian.

Life

 * Life Power Stones are used to make Statues that boost production of resources. This bonus increases the output of the player's production buildings, freed NPC bases, and Resource Bases (depending on specific Statue bonus). Life Power Stones can be received from Tropical enemy player bases, NPC-controlled bases, and Lt. Hammerman bases.
 * Life Power Stones are also available as part of the daily Victory Point Reward and as possible loot from Submarine dives (both as a known loot item and a random loot item).

Magma

 * Magma Power Stones are used to make Statues that increase troop damage and health. Magma Power Stones can be received from enemy player bases, NPC-controlled bases, and Lt. Hammerman bases that are located on Volcanic Islands.
 * Magma Power Stones are also available as part of the daily Victory Point Reward and as possible loot from Submarine dives (both as a known loot item and a random loot item).

Ice

 * Ice Power Stones are used to make Statues that increase building damage and health. These Power Stones can be received from enemy player bases, NPC-controlled bases, and Lt. Hammerman bases on the northern (upper) part of the archipelago that is covered with ice and snow. When attacked, these bases will have white playing fields instead of green or volcanic.
 * Ice Power Stones are also available as part of the daily Victory Point Reward and as possible loot from Submarine dives (both as a known loot item and a random loot item).

Dark

 * Dark Power Stones are used to make Statues that increase Gunboat energy, Power Stone chance, and resource rewards. These Power Stones are only obtainable via the Dr. Terror events, randomly as part of the daily Victory Point Reward, and as possible loot from Submarine dives. The first Dr. Terror base is available upon the completion of Lt. Hammerman's level 10 base.

Trivia

 * The limit on the amount of each size of each type of Power Stone one player can have is 9 million, which means you never have to worry about running out of space for more Power Stones because it is virtually impossible to reach this limit.
