The headline change focuses on the Giant Skeleton. Its signature bomb damage has been slashed by 33%, a significant nerf that prevents it from instantly deleting defensive clusters. To compensate, the developers have increased its stun duration across all levels. This shifts the unit from a pure demolition tool to a tactical crowd-control asset, giving your other troops more time to capitalize on the opening.
Frontline tanks are also seeing a shift in the meta. The P.E.K.K.A received a 14% HP buff, reinforcing her role as a primary damage sponge. This health increase is vital for ensuring she actually reaches the tower in a meta increasingly dominated by high-DPS distractions. Meanwhile, the Dart Goblin has undergone a trade-off: its range was decreased by 1 tile, but its damage output was boosted by 14%. You'll have to play him more aggressively now, but the payoff for good positioning is much higher.
Rulers and traits haven't been ignored in this Season 7 overhaul. The Goblin Queen is now significantly more dangerous following an update that bumped her Goblin Drop Rate from 25% to 33%. On the trait side, players should prepare for major mechanical shifts across the following categories:
- Ace & Superstar: Overhauled to change how high-value units impact the board.
- Clan & Noble: Adjusted to refine synergy bonuses for tribal decks.
- Titan & Fire: Tweaked to balance elemental damage and massive unit scaling.
These changes reflect a push toward more diverse deck building in Merge Tactics. By toning down the raw burst of the Giant Skeleton and rewarding high-risk plays with the Dart Goblin, the meta is moving toward more calculated, tactical engagements rather than simple elixir-heavy pushes.
