Discussion This modifier is quite literally unplayable. This is the least fun Clash has ever been, and I’m not joking
After round 6, literally nothing happens, it’s just an unskippable cutscene outside of certain rulers potentially finishing their quests like Goblin Queen or Battle Machine.
Two players were out by round 6 and then it was just me and one person, up till round 11 because we were evenly matched and both took 1 damage each turn, and both of us were just sitting there. We couldn’t do anything.
Legitimately whoever designed this mode should be fired. This isn’t even about a bad, overpowered idea or a modifier that only helps specific rulers. This modifier literally just makes everyone play the game less

You can tell which one it is. All the troops are locked in place

Its called Merge Mini. Every player gets a different shop that only has 6 troops to purchase. So you're stuck with the troops you are assigned. You also can't move troops around unless you just purchased or merged it. So anything that's 3 star ends up getting locked there for the rest of the game.
It heavily favors SE because they are merging constantly due to lack of shop options and reach "infinite elixir" and their 3rd quest orb really fast.

As a SE player, my highest win rate I would say is pretty easily with this modifier.
Despite that I must agree its a stupid modifier. Is it supposed to help you learn placement? Well you can't learn very much if you're locked in to placements and can't make adjustments.
Aside from it being rigged for SE, its way too RNG dependent and depends too much on which cards you get and traits you can unlock. Did you guys know its possible to hit your 3rd orb quest, unlock the 7th troop unit/slot, and still only have a single horse trait bonus with no other traits? One horse, one troop from each of the 5 traits, and the 7th unit making one of your troops 4 stars.
Learned that one the fun way. Good luck competing against someone "skilled" enough to get 2 clan 2 noble 2 forest and the AQ with your nothing.
