Liquorice Lock

Empty Licorice Lock

Liquorice Lock (also known as Licorice Lock, Liquorice X, Liquorice Cage, X Lock, or Locked Candy) is one of the Blocker in Candy Crush Soda Saga. It protects the contents inside from moving, removal, and adjacent matches. It is somewhat common in the game, and it is quite a difficult blocker to get rid of, especially when there are lots of them. The blocker looks like a locked cage, with liquorice surrounding the outside of the square and an X-formation over the candy.

Properties

Level 2 (Old Version)

Locked candies cannot be switched with; but unlike Candy Crush Saga, additionally locked blockers can be cleared by adjacent matches. Locked elements may only be unlocked by a match or by a special effect, such as by special candies, explosions, or Jelly Cakes. If a candy under this blocker is matched, it will only be considered as released from captivity, meaning that it will not be cleared, but you will still get the points. If a match of 4 or more is performed, you will still get the corresponding special candy. Such a match is only considered as destroying the blocker, and it can be viewed as having the blocker revealing its content. This includes stripes, explosions, ordinary colour bomb blasts, candy fish, & more.

Only a few interactions involve eliminating the inside content: namely by the activation of the special candy via Soda Crush or colour bomb combinations. Blockers that block special candy effects, such as liquorice swirls can't block the effect while locked, in which only the lock is removed. Chocolate and white chocolate CAN still spread and replace candies even when if locked.

Rarely, some level may feature an empty liquorice lock. It can be thought more of applying liquorice lock effects to an empty space.

Trivia

• This is the first blocker that was introduced in the game.
• This acts similarly to liquorice lock in Candy Crush Saga and other squels.
• A candy fish that hits a liquorice lock will not remove a layer of the frosting beneath it. It will only remove the lock.
• If the jelly fish hits a piece of locked chocolate, only the lock will be removed.
