💰 Advanced Economy Management

Fundamental Principles

Economy management is the key to success in Merge Tactics. Here are the fundamental principles:

1. Elixir Reserve

• Always keep 1-2 elixir in reserve for emergencies
• Don't spend everything at the start of the round
• Plan expenses based on available troops

2. Strategic Selling

• Sell troops that don't fit your strategy
• Recover elixir from obsolete troops
• Don't get attached to troops that don't serve

3. Spending Timing

• Rounds 1-2: Invest in basic troops (2 elixir)
• Rounds 3-4: Start merges and develop traits
• Rounds 5+: Focus on powerful troops and advanced merges

Economic Strategies by Ruler

Spirit Empress

• Merge often to maximize elixir

• Create reserves of merged troops for extra elixir

Royale King

🔄 Merge Timing

When to Merge

Merge timing can make the difference between victory and defeat:

Early Merge (Rounds 1-2)

• Advantages: Powerful troops immediately, pressure on enemies
• Disadvantages: Less flexibility, risk of being countered
• When to use: With Spirit Empress or favorable modifiers

Late Merge (Rounds 3-4)

• Advantages: Greater flexibility, meta adaptation
• Disadvantages: Less time to develop, risk of being overwhelmed
• When to use: With Royale King or when meta is uncertain

Progressive Merge

• Advantages: Balance between power and flexibility
• Disadvantages: Requires more skill and planning
• When to use: General strategy for most situations
