Merge Rot

What Is Merge Rot?

Merge Rot is a tower defense-style merge game where players combine units on a grid to upgrade their strength and resist monster attacks. The goal is to survive waves by strategically merging and placing your units.

Game Objective:

The main objective is to defeat as many waves of enemies as possible by continuously merging identical units to form stronger ones. The longer you survive, the higher your score.

How to Start Playing

Setting Up the Grid

When you start the game, you’re presented with a grid where you can place and merge units. You’ll begin with a few basic fighters and open slots. Tap on a box to summon a unit, then drag and drop identical ones to merge them.

Merging Units

Merging is key in Merge Rot. Two of the same level units merge into one stronger version. For example, two level 1 units become one level 2 unit, which has greater attack power and durability. Keep merging to increase your grid’s strength.

Strategies for Success

Positioning Matters

Don't just merge randomly—place your units thoughtfully. Frontline fighters should be stronger and have more health, while ranged units can sit safely in the back. This strategy keeps your team balanced and effective.

Manage Resources Wisely

Every unit summoned costs energy. Make sure you don’t waste energy on random spawns. Focus on building combos and saving energy for higher-level merges or emergency spawns during tough waves.

Use Power-Ups Smartly

As you progress, you’ll unlock special skills or power-ups. Use these during boss waves or when your grid is overwhelmed. Timing is everything; saving your power-ups for when you truly need them can be the difference between victory and defeat.

Advancing Through the Game

Survive the Waves

Each wave increases in difficulty, throwing tougher enemies and faster spawns at you. Adapt your strategy quickly, always looking to strengthen your defense before the next round begins.

Upgrade Between Rounds

Between stages, you can upgrade your unit types or overall stats. Invest in upgrades that align with your playstyle, whether it’s boosting attack speed, health, or special abilities.
