Troops Merge Tactics
Troops are the main elements of the game that you can deploy on the battlefield. Each troop has an elixir cost, a rarity, and unique traits that make it special.
Troops are the backbone of every Merge Tactics composition. Each troop has an Elixir cost, a rarity tier (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Champion), and two Traits that determine its role in your team. Understanding which troops synergize well is the difference between climbing the ladder and getting stuck. The current pool includes over 30 active troops, with returning and new troops added each season. Building around 4-troop trait synergies or stacking powerful champions at 5 Elixir is key to reaching Diamond rank. Below you'll find every troop currently available in the game, with their stats, abilities, and trait pairings.

Strategy & Tips
- •Always check how many troops share a trait before committing: reaching a 4-troop synergy bonus is a major power spike.
- •3-Elixir troops are your early-game foundation. Draft them first to activate trait bonuses by Round 2.
- •Champions (5-Elixir) are expensive but scale hard with modifiers like 'We are the Champions' (+50% HP, +30% damage).
- •Don't ignore positioning: melee troops tank in front while ranged troops deal damage safely from behind.
- •Sell underperforming troops to fund upgrades rather than holding dead weight on the bench.
