The June 2025 update introduced the Merge Tactics game mode to Clash Royale. While the Merge Tactics mode itself is a different way of viewing the strategy element, there’s a lot of depth inside the mode, and one of them is the Modifiers feature that can turn a tide in your Clash Royale matches.
Understanding Merge Tactics Modifiers in Clash Royale
In Merge Tactics, Modifiers introduce unique battle rules that affect all four players in a match. Each game will have one random modifier applied. Modifiers significantly change gameplay from troop stats to elixir generation and can even affect team size or starting troops.
Modifiers are unlocked as you climb the League Road, starting from Bronze II. The higher your league, the more complex and powerful the modifiers become. So, how do they work in the match? At the start of every Merge Tactics match, one random modifier is picked.
This modifier applies to all players in the game and stays active throughout the match. As you move up through the different league tiers, you’ll unlock more modifiers. Knowing which modifiers are available can help you plan better team setups and gain an advantage in battles.
Merge Tactics Modifiers listed by League
As mentioned earlier, the modifiers start from the Bronze II League. From here, each league has three modifiers each, so there’s a total of 27 available in the game.
