Pro tips
- Use the in-game Index as the source of truth for names — this table is a community map.
- Merge level doubles each step: 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32 → 64 → 128 → 256 → 512 → …
- Chase A-tier or higher before investing heavily in PvP raids.
- Rebirth unlocks nukes beyond the mid-game cap — do not assume Mega Nuke is the final tier.
- Re-evaluate names and income after every Friday patch.
Friday patches can rebalance nukes, offline rates, and raid damage. After each update, re-check this tier list alongside the Codes, Commanders, and Progression guides.
