Merge a Nuke guide for the first strong base

Merge toward your highest available nuke first, keep cash flowing while offline income works, raid only after your base lock is ready, and avoid spreading upgrades across weak bombs.

Opening loop

The official loop is merge, earn, launch, and defend. Your first goal is to remove idle gaps: combine weak bombs quickly and keep enough cash for the next merge lane.

  • Merge duplicate low bombs as soon as the board fills.
  • Use cash on the bottleneck that creates the next larger nuke.
  • Check income after returning from offline time.

Raid timing

Raiding is tempting, but the description warns that enemies can steal cash and nuke you back. Treat every launch as a risk window.

  • Lock before a high-value launch.
  • Do not launch all pressure into a stronger server neighbor.
  • Return to defense after a cash steal.

Upgrade discipline

Public APIs do not expose a full internal economy table, so the reliable rule is to upgrade the action that slows your current loop.

  • Waiting on spawns means spawn speed matters.
  • Manual combining pain means auto merge has value.
  • Raid pressure means lock cooldown and nuke health matter.
