A safe Merge a Nuke raid starts with target value, lock status, cooldown, recovery plan, and base defense. Do not launch the nuke that carries your whole economy unless the payoff is clear.
Raid checklist
Before a Merge a Nuke raid, ask five questions:
- Is the target worth the cooldown?
- Does the target appear protected or recently locked?
- Can your base keep earning after the launch?
- Are you risking a nuke that should stay home for income?
- Do you have a lock or recovery plan after the raid?
Target choice
The best target is not always the richest visible base. A weaker target with reliable payoff can beat a high-value target that wastes your launch. If the game state looks uncertain, wait for a better opening instead of turning every cooldown into a forced attack.
Defense after attacking
Raid players are also targets. After a Merge a Nuke raid, check your own base, protect the pieces that carry your economy, and avoid going offline while exposed. Base lock and health upgrades matter more as your visible value rises.
Free-player raid advice
Free players should raid only when the reward supports the next practical goal. If a raid delays spawn upgrades, rebirth preparation, or income recovery, it may be better to keep merging. The raid page will add exact damage and cooldown comparisons after those values are verified.
