Sometimes the game just steals your elixir and undoes all your merges before a round starts. The real rng is if this buggy ass game will work long enough for you to attempt to win

There are so many issues with this ruler that it’s hard to pinpoint and begin… but here we go.

The closest comparison I have to the Tomb Queen is the Goblin Queen. When comparing these two rulers you can quickly see just how broken Tomb Queen becomes already.

With GQ, she does not have some special building in place like TQ. Furthermore, it’s a pain in the behind to have the tombstone spawn skeletons especially in modifiers like goblins treasure and long live the queen. Because they spawn last, I have had times where I’ve died to just the skeletons. Honestly clownish garbage in the game. Again… the GQ does not have some building mechanic added in to help her.

Second, her ruler quests SOLELY rely on obtaining a certain troop (undead only). Now you may say now wait with Goblin Queen her goal is to get goblins! That’s true, BUT with Goblin Queen you can (and should) pivot from your generated elixir. It’s another case where she’s vastly different versus TQ where you have to run a specific card every single time.

Third, blocking is darn near impossible no matter what you do if they have 6/6 undead.

I’ve blocked a witch, Skelly King and Bomber. Still lost as everything else was 3 starred and I had 4 noble + Boss bandit exe.

This ruler is unbelievably annoying and not like any other ruler. Same comp. Orbs rely on same troops. And on top of that have a fun tombstone to throw on the field too.

I have had too many games to count where I have 2nd place instead of 1st. And I lose to a two starred 6/6 undead board.

Easily the most poorly balanced ruler I’ve seen in the game, and I’ve been playing since June 2025.

The ruler quest took away a skilled part of the game. 4 straight games of seeing echo getting the superstar ring. Its so boring knowing half the games are banking in whether i get hook or elixa from my orb. I firmly doubt greedy cell will do an emergency fix as the game is already half broken in its state not to mention how merge is the middle child of clashes game modes

That item that gives a 50 percent chance to recast ability is so unbelievably overpowered with the echo. It just defeated my entire undead comp in half a second flat

So only the skeletons she spawns from the tomb (and herself rising from the tomb) would count

Echo Sage isn’t as powerful as they once were however, they still feel unfair to play against in certain modifiers and with specific RNG aspects.

(My opinion as someone who’s been playing since the beginning) Here are some changes I think they should make to Echo Sage

1. Echo destroying buildings (goblins loot & dummies included) no longer counts towards the Echo leveling up but instead destroys the building and resets the Echo’s ability charge to half.

2. If an enemy the Echo is triggered towards gets eliminated whilst the Echo was mid animation, the Echo no longer zips to a different target and instead stays in place of where the enemy was and recharges.

3. Echo (and Xbow) now start with half charge instead of full charge with the SuperStar Ring.

4. Echo’s ability charge rate maxes out on the third Star level and does not increase when the Echo reaches four stars.

Just my opinions and I understand there are many other problems in this version of the game too, these are just my opinions regarding Echo. I’ve placed Diamond every season since season 1 of Merge and I plat SE.
