Merge Tactics Modifiers

The map itself becomes the threat — poison spreads across the battlefield as the round progresses, not tied to any single troop.

Starts everyone with an Orb before the match even begins, then hands out another one to every survivor each time a player is eliminated.

One tile, one kill — anything that lands on it is destroyed immediately, and then the tile itself is gone for the rest of the round.

The curse does two things: HP drains away while the troop stands there, and if it's knocked out while still cursed, the damage radiates outward to nearby troops based on its own max HP.

A delay, then an explosion — anything still standing nearby when it goes off takes the damage.

Both sides defend a treasure simultaneously — destroying the enemy's nets an Orb, and they're trying to do the same to yours.

Step on one wormhole tile, appear on the matching one across the map — instant relocation, no travel time between them.

The tradeoff is permanent loss for higher income — HP carries across rounds so troops don't reset, but once one is actually defeated, it's gone from the game entirely.

Only matters for the opening seconds — whatever's placed on this tile is untargetable right as combat starts, then it's a normal troop for the rest of the round.

A free unit every single round, sourced from whatever's sitting furthest right on the bench — that troop gets copied at 1-star at no cost.

One fail condition overrides everything else — if the King Dummy dies, the round is lost regardless of what's happening anywhere else on the board.

Doesn't function like a normal shield at all — breaking it doesn't block or reflect anything, it promotes the star level of whoever's wearing it plus any allies standing close by.

Rarity stops mattering for pricing — everything in the shop costs exactly 3 Elixir, Legendary and Common alike.

The danger compounds — poison tiles keep appearing and get progressively worse the longer the round runs.

The very first purchase of the turn skips a merge step — it arrives already at 2-star.

A one-time event, not a running effect — specifically on Round 3, the bench troop furthest right jumps straight to 3-star.
