World 5 · Inferno
World 5 · Inferno: its bins, launch odds, portals, Inferno's own mechanics, the lock to the next world and the pets in its claw machine.
Overview
Two dials, one oven. PRESSURE is the temperature — bought at the pump, bled a sliver by every launch — and LAVA is the coverage, raised by your landings and drained by melts and geysers. Bins under the pressure zone cook up the tier ladder from the right, while the lava eats the vitality of every ball that sinks through it. Bins pay ×2 coins with a ×1.4 world multiplier, gems 1 / 3 / 5, and balls come back from Bronze up — but a melted ball pays nothing.
The board
Eighteen bins across the bottom, tiered left to right. Inferno lays them out like this:
| Aimed at | Chance per launch |
|---|---|
 Grey | 70% |
 Bronze | 27.7% |
 Silver | 2.34% |
| Bin | Per launch |
|---|---|
| Grey | 56.1% (1 in 1.78) |
| Bronze | 34% (1 in 2.94) |
| Silver | 7.93% (1 in 12.6) |
 Gold | 1.61% (1 in 62.3) |
 Emerald | 0.33% (1 in 303) |
 Ruby | 0.0563% (1 in 1,775) |
 Diamond | 0.0007% (1 in 137,733) |
Shares and landing odds assume both bonus dice are unlocked — the same basis as Bucket Rates.
Every tier on Inferno is a count the pressure grants, filled from the right — see Bin cooking below. Four plain portals run above the pegs as on World 1 (the Vent Crab marks one for extra chance) and launches are aimed like Classic, but Inferno runs the portal ladder backwards: everywhere else a higher bin warps MORE often, and here it warps less, so the top of the board has to be earned rather than snowballed into. On top of that, every Inferno portal fires undefined less often than the other worlds' — and HEAT buys them back, NaN points of portal chance per point of heat, so a board run at a full 100 heat is exactly back on the normal rate. You can read it off the board: a cold portal looks like World 1's, and it visibly catches fire as the heat climbs. The table above is the strip before any cooking.
Bins and rewards
| Bin | On the strip |  Coins |  Gold balls |  Gems |  Balls |  Portal |

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 — here — every rate is on Bucket Rates.
Pressure and the pump
Tap the obsidian chamber to open the PRESSURE PUMP. Pick a target and pay balls: the price of a point climbs exponentially with the pressure already in the bar (about 24 balls at 0%, 36 at 50% and 590 at 99%), so the last ten points cost as much as the first ninety put together. Every launch bleeds 0.0167 pressure (a full pump survives about 6,000 launches; the Magma Slug's Stoke the Furnace cuts the bleed to 60%), and a reserve you set refills the bar automatically. Bands: CALM under 35%, ACTIVE 35–70%, FURY 70%+; bins only cook at 35% or more.
| Pump | Balls |
|---|---|
| 0% → 25% | 623 |
| 0% → 50% | 1,356 |
| 0% → 75% | 2,870 |
| 0% → 100% | 9,199 |
| 50% → 100% | 7,843 |
Bin cooking
Every tier on Inferno is a count: the pressure decides how many bins of it exist, and the strip is filled left to right — Grey, Bronze, Silver, Gold, then Emerald, Ruby, Diamond — so the good tiers always sit on the RIGHT and the whole strip shifts left as the board heats. A cold board is a real board (8 Grey, 4 Bronze, 3 Silver and the rest Gold), and at a full 100% it reads 3 Silver, 3 Gold, 5 Emerald, 5 Ruby and 2 Diamond. The counts are tuned so that no 5% step leaves the strip unchanged — every point of pressure you buy is doing something. Cooking is instant; falling below a bin's line holds it for 10s, then it cools one tier every 10 s.
The order the gem bins light up: 25% Diamond 1 · 50% Emerald 1 · 55% Emerald 2 · 60% Emerald 3 · 65% Ruby 1 · 70% Ruby 2 · 75% Emerald 4 · 80% Ruby 3 · 85% Emerald 5 · 90% Ruby 4 · 95% Ruby 5 · 100% Diamond 2.

Lava, heat and burns
- Lava level
- +0.6 per landing · −4 per melted ball · drains 0.16/s on its own
- Under the lava
- balls decay ×2 and sink at 40% speed (the Ember Eel's Lava Glide cancels most of the drag)
- Geysers
- 12% per ball touching the lava: the ball is hurled straight up with its vitality restored and 3 lava is thrown out
- Ball vitality
- 4 heat; a ball that lands with all of it is molten — ×1.5 coins and ×2 lock damage. Split balls spawn with 1 and can never be molten
- HEAT
- rises 0.8/s while the lava sits at 60+, falls 3/s below it
- Burns
- above heat 50 each landing rolls (heat − 50)% to BURN one random regular pet (no buff until it recovers); elusive and limited pets and Inferno's own pets are immune, the Cinder Armadillo wards one. Recovery is a chance roll while heat is below 50, up to 8% per tick at heat 0
a geyser — the free, random vent; the pump is the bought oneThe door to World 6
- Lock
- 80,000,000 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 6

Pets available here
The claw machine you stand in front of is Inferno's: one pull costs 600 gems (your first 50 paid pulls here are 450 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
- Run ACTIVE, not FURY: the right-hand bins reach Ruby and Diamond long before the bar is full, and every point past 70% costs more than the last.
- Dump the lava now and then (geysers and melts drain it) so HEAT falls back under 50 and your pets stop burning.
- Molten landings chip the 80,000,000 HP World 6 lock double — send balls with full vitality at the gem bins.
