Monarch Merge: the guide
Choose a monarch and build a pile that can survive the climb to the final form.
Choose your monarch
Nox, Ryuken, Shen, and Sol each have their own fourteen illustrated evolutions. Select one before starting. Every form on that board belongs to that monarch; a merge changes the level and artwork, not the character you selected.
The original merge rules
New drops are drawn from levels 0–3. Two equal levels merge into the next form, while different levels bounce and roll against each other. Aim carefully, leave space for larger forms, and let the pile settle between drops.
How merging works
Aim with your pointer and click to drop, or tap a position on the phone playfield. Equal levels merge when they touch. The replacement form is larger and receives a small upward motion, so one merge can move neighboring pieces into another. Pieces of different levels push and roll against each other.
Build a stable pile
Keep an eye on the Next preview and make space beside levels you expect to combine. Avoid repeatedly dropping small pieces into a narrow gap where they cannot reach their match. When a large form arrives, let its neighbors move before adding another piece directly above it.
Points, danger, and God Form
A merge into level n awards 10 × 2ⁿ points. Level 13 is the maximum; two final forms do not upgrade further. A pile that stays above the danger line fills a two-second danger meter and ends the round. Newly dropped forms have a short grace period. Reach God Form and keep playing to improve your score.
