Merge two matching Beasts and watch them evolve. Keep going from Common to Spark, Overdrive, Nova and Mythic, then take your strongest squad into Champion Clash and battle a League champion. Merge Bash is a relaxed idle merge game set in the neon world of the Bash Beasts. Hatch creatures onto your board, fill League contracts for coins and gems, and come back to what your Beasts earned while you were away. โข MERGE TO EVOLVE โ every Beast climbs five tiers, from Common to Mythic. The final leap to Mythic takes an elemental Essence, so there is always a next goal. โข 29 FAMILIES, 9 LEAGUES โ from the Neon League to the Prism League. Each League has its own board, its own Beasts and a champion to conquer. โข CHAMPION CLASH โ max out the Tide League and Marow the Tidelord takes your challenge. Draft a squad of up to five Beasts, counter the champion's elements on a seven-element wheel and fire your Ultimates when an enemy is exposed. Then climb an Arena ladder that gets tougher with every win. โข HAGGLE WITH PATRONS โ League champions post contracts for the Beasts they want. Talk the price up in chat: patrons answer in character, and if you push too hard, the offer sours. โข EXPEDITIONS โ send Beasts on a Quick Scout, a League Patrol or a Deep Expedition. They return with coins, gems and the Essences that unlock Mythics. โข BEASTPEDIA โ discover every Beast, its element and its lore. โข IDLE & OFFLINE EARNINGS โ your board keeps earning while you're away. Collect the haul when you're back. โข FRESH GOALS EVERY DAY โ a featured order and daily quests each day, a weekly challenge, a weekly spotlight event that can take that week's Beast straight to Mythic, and 16 achievements. Plays offline, and everything stays on your device: no accounts, no ads, no tracking, no subscriptions. Coin and gem packs and a one-time Starter League Pack are optional and never needed to enjoy the game. Part of the Bash Beasts universe.
