The Circle Merge is an advanced merging technique used to maximise returns on resources and increase the probability of obtaining rare items. This article outlines the exact steps for execution and explains the unique benefits you can gain.
A Circle Merge is a specific, eight-item combination setup that, when completed, guarantees a special bonus outcome beyond the standard merge result. It is a strategic move for players looking to optimise their merging efforts.
To perform a Circle Merge, you need eight identical items of the same level and type.
The success of the Circle Merge depends entirely on the precise placement of the first seven items, followed by the final drop.
Prepare the Setup (7 Items):
- Place six of the identical items in a precise circular arrangement on your board.
- Place the seventh identical item exactly in the centre of the circle created by the first six items.

Execute the Merge (1 Item):
- Take the eighth matching item.
- Drop this eighth item directly onto the item located in the centre of the circle.
This action triggers the Circle Merge mechanic.
When successfully executed, the Circle Merge provides two significant advantages over standard merging:
- 50% Item Refund Chance: There is a 50% probability that one of the merged items will be immediately returned to your inventory (a "lucky refund").
- Increased Golden Item Chance: The merge process significantly increases your chances of generating a Golden Item (a highly valuable and rare drop) as part of the overall result.
By mastering the Circle Merge, you gain a powerful advantage in resource management and rare item acquisition.
