World 2 · Aurora
World 2 · Aurora: its bins, launch odds, portals, Aurora's own mechanics, the lock to the next world and the pets in its claw machine.
Overview
The Aurora Vault. A wall of glacier ice — the Glacier Gate — stands in front of the rich half of the board, and the whole world is about knocking it down. Launches here are aimed far more generously than Classic (Grey 40% / Bronze 35% / Silver 25%), the bins pay ×1.25 coins, but only one ordinary portal runs while the gate stands, and the Emerald, Ruby and Diamond bins are sealed until you breach it.
The board
Eighteen bins across the bottom, tiered left to right. Aurora lays them out like this:
| Aimed at | Chance per launch |
|---|---|
| 40% | |
| 35% | |
| 25% |
| Bin | Gate standing | During a breach |
|---|---|---|
| 37.8% (1 in 2.65) | 33.7% (1 in 2.97) | |
| 43.1% (1 in 2.32) | 31.9% (1 in 3.14) | |
| 19.2% (1 in 5.22) | 19.5% (1 in 5.13) | |
| — | 5.17% (1 in 19.3) | |
| — | 6.18% (1 in 16.2) | |
| — | 3.57% (1 in 28) | |
| — | 0.0023% (1 in 43,367) |
Shares and landing odds assume both bonus dice are unlocked — the same basis as Bucket Rates.
The ice line in the strip above is the Glacier Gate: bins 9–18 (3 Gold, 3 Emerald, 3 Ruby, 1 Diamond) sit behind it. One Gold bin (#8) is on the open side, so Gold can be reached before the gate breaks. While the gate stands a ball aimed past the wall is steered into the last open bin instead.
Bins and rewards

| 1 | Opens Jackpot Frenzy — floor 68,750 coins · 1,250 gold balls · 155 gems · 155 balls |
Coins are the base payout before your pet, ARCADE Coin Gain and Marquee multipliers. The percentage is that reward's share of the bin's roll. On top of the roll, Silver and better bins independently drop sticker packs and time candy, dice slots open with the Bonus Map, and a landing can drop a pet card at 1 in 25 here — every rate is on Bucket Rates.
The Glacier Gate
- Wall HP
- 5,000 — refreezes at full HP after every breach
- Damage per strike
- max(1, round(Ball Power ÷ 3)) — reinforced balls ×1.25
- Who hits it
- Any ball that touches the ice; 8% of ordinary launches drift into it, reinforced balls (Forge Bear) seek it
- Wall ransom
- A ball that slid down the wall pays 50% of the sealed bin it was aimed at
- Crack bounties
- At 75% / 50% / 25% HP: 1,100 coins each
- On the break
- 6,600 coins and a BREACH opens
| Ball Power | Per strike | Reinforced | Strikes to break |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 5,000 |
| 10 | 3 | 4 | 1,667 |
| 50 | 17 | 21 | 295 |
| 100 | 33 | 41 | 152 |
| 250 | 83 | 104 | 61 |
The Glacier Golem's Living Wall can crit a strike ×2, the Snow Hare adds flat Cold Snap damage to every hit, and the Avalanche Yeti rains 8 snowballs on the ice every 15 strikes. Ball Power itself comes from your Arcade Level reward bubbles.
Breach
When the gate's HP hits zero the ice shatters and the sealed bins open for your next 100 launches. A reinforced ball landing the killing blow adds 15 launches, and the first Diamond inside a breach adds 25 more (once per breach); extensions cap at 25 per window. When the budget runs out the gate refreezes at 5,000 HP and the siege begins again — unless the Megalodon's Jaws Locked is holding it open. Aurora rifts are untouched by a breach.
- Every Emerald, Ruby and Diamond landing during a breach chips the World 3 lock ×2.
- Portal rolls from Silver, Gold (and their re-drops) route into the Vault Portal instead of the ordinary chain.
- Breach landings ride the same reward tables — the difference is that the Emerald and Ruby bins exist at all.
The Vault Portal
During a breach a fourth portal opens over the gem bins. A ball entering it leaves from one of three pegs: in front (8% — the only exit that can physically reach the Diamond bin), behind (22%) or straight under (70%). Blended over the three exits a vault ball lands like this:
| Bin | Any vault entry | Front exit only |
|---|---|---|
| 4.63% (1 in 21.6) | 3.91% (1 in 25.6) | |
| 40.3% (1 in 2.48) | 29.3% (1 in 3.41) | |
| 34.9% (1 in 2.86) | 32.2% (1 in 3.1) | |
| 20.2% (1 in 4.95) | 34.4% (1 in 2.91) | |
| 0.013% (1 in 7,680) | 0.163% (1 in 614) |
That makes a Diamond 1 in 7,680 per vault entry, and Ruby 20.2% — the vault is where World 2's gems and jackpots come from, so World 2's Diamond rate is entirely a question of breach uptime.
Aurora rifts
The aurora keeps shearing pegs out of the lattice: 23 pegs are missing at any time and the set reshuffles every 1m 30s (rows 2–8 only, never two side by side, never the peg hugging the wall). A ball that arrives at a gap drops straight through instead of bouncing — a rift can carry a ball a long way down in one go. Balls snapshot the rifts at launch, so a gap never opens under a ball mid-fall. The Bouncy Frog leaps rifts.
Portals on Aurora
Only the Bronze portal runs while the gate stands: every portal roll, whatever bin it came from, rides that one slime and re-drops on the Bronze table — so ordinary portals top out at Silver here. Portal shares are damped to Grey 20% · Bronze 22.5% · Silver 25% · Gold 27.5%. In a breach, Silver and Gold portal rolls go to the Vault Portal instead.
The door to World 3 · Flora

- Lock
- 500,000 HP
- What chips it
- Every landing in an Emerald, Ruby or Diamond bin
- Damage per landing
- Ball Power × (Emerald ×1 / Ruby ×1.5 / Diamond ×20) + 10
- Reward
1,000 gems, once, plus the way to World 3 · Flora
Tap the padlocked door on the board for a live readout: HP left and exactly what your next Emerald, Ruby and Diamond landing will chip. The full formula and a damage table are on the Worlds hub.
- Inside a breach every chip counts double. The Emerald bins sit behind the Glacier Gate, so World 3 progress only happens while the gate is down.
Pets available here
The claw machine you stand in front of is Aurora's: one pull costs 300 gems (your first 50 paid pulls here are 225 gems — 25% off) and rolls one of these 8 pets at the base odds shown. Pet Score and rare-luck buffs push the rare tiers up — see Claw Odds. A guaranteed mythic lands on your 400th non-mythic pull in each world.
Tips
- The Forge Bear is the world's engine: reinforced balls aim themselves at the ice and hit ×1.25.
- Progress toward World 3 (500,000 HP) only happens in breaches, and every chip there counts double — run breach after breach.
- Gold pays only 1 gem here (a 5% share); Emerald and Ruby pay 4 / 6 at a 20% share — the vault side is where gems live.
