Read the city HP bar before launching
Cities display a total HP pool. Know the published figure for your target tier before you commit nukes — wasting low-tier launches on high-HP cities burns cash.
HP bar is your progress tracker — compare it to published totals on our Cities page.Watch at 1:00 - 2
Launch your strongest nuke
High-tier nukes and named Index weapons deal more damage per launch. Void Vaporizer and similar top-tier options are worth saving for city targets rather than player bases.
Save heavy launches for city HP pools — they are much larger than player bases.Watch at 1:20 - 3
Watch HP drop between launches
Each hit shaves HP off the city bar. If progress stalls, merge up or rebirth for stronger nukes before dumping more launches into the same target.

Use map view to line up the next hit
Pull back to the map to confirm the city location and your nuke trajectory. Cities stay on the map until HP reaches zero — plan your grid so you can launch again without moving units manually.

City HP reference
Each city tier publishes a total HP figure in patch notes — Alien Invasion Tier 3 is 550,000 HP, Town Square is 150,000 HP, and so on. We list every confirmed value on our Cities page rather than repeating them here.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much HP do cities have in Merge a Nuke?
HP varies by city tier — Town Square is 150,000 HP and Alien Invasion Tier 3 is 550,000 HP per published patch notes. See our Cities page for every confirmed value.
What nuke should I use to destroy a city?
Use your highest-tier merged nuke or a named Index weapon. Low-tier bombs barely move city HP bars — merge up or rebirth before committing to high-HP targets.
Do cities respawn after destruction?
Event cities rotate with Admin Abuse and Friday patches. Check our Updates page after each weekly release for new maps and HP changes.
Can I destroy a city solo or do I need a team?
You can attack cities solo — there is no party requirement. High-HP cities take many launches though, so merge up or rebirth for stronger nukes before committing. Team coordination is part of Allies Warfare, not city raids.
What rewards do I get from destroying a city?
City destruction rewards vary by event and city tier. Some cities drop commander fragments or event currency. Check our Cities page for confirmed drop pools and our Events page for rotation schedules.
Why is my nuke doing so little damage to cities?
Low-tier nukes deal minimal damage to high-HP cities. Merge up to the highest tier you can, or rebirth for a permanent cash multiplier that lets you reach stronger nukes faster. The /calculator can help plan the fastest path.
Do I need to lock my base before attacking a city?
Yes — while you focus on city HP, other players can still raid your unlocked base. Lock before you start city raids and lock again when you finish. See our How to Lock Base guide for the step-by-step.
