Merge a Nuke Tier List

Merge levels and reported nuke names from community gameplay — use with the in-game Index for the latest stats.

Quick answer

Merge doubles each step (2→4→8→16…). Chase 64+ before heavy raiding. Rebirth unlocks tiers beyond ~#35 in the Index.

Nuke Tier Rankings

Community estimates

Rankings use merge levels (2 → 4 → 8 → 16…) and community-reported nuke names from gameplay footage. Cross-check the in-game Index after Friday updates — exact stats change often.

Community-sourced — pending full in-game verification. Use this as a merge priority guide, not fixed DPS numbers.

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 and Progression guides.
