Merge Tactics has not been permanently removed. It has experienced temporary disabling in the past while Supercell fixed issues, but it was subsequently re-enabled and continued with updates and season resets. The most recent signals show ongoing development and periodic maintenance, with new content and monthly resets as part of the mode’s design. Key points to understand:

• Temporary disablements: There have been instances where Merge Tactics was temporarily disabled to address performance or balance issues, with an announced return once fixes were in place. This means availability can fluctuate around maintenance windows or critical fixes [web results indicate multiple audits of this behavior].
• Seasonal/reset design: When active, the mode operates on a monthly seasonal cycle, resetting progress (trophies and merge progress) at the start of each season, while introducing new content and balance changes [web results describe the October 2025 update and seasonal reset mechanics].
• Ongoing updates: The mode has seen updates detailing new rulers, troops, traits, and balance adjustments, signaling continued support rather than removal [web results discuss October 2025 update and related patch notes].

If you’re trying to confirm current status right now:

• Check the official Clash Royale channels (in-game notices, Supercell’s blog, and official X/Twitter posts) for real-time status on Merge Tactics.
• Look for any recent patch notes or maintenance announcements around your region, as temporary disablements are typically communicated there.
• If Merge Tactics is not visible in the game, it is most likely undergoing a temporary maintenance window or an ongoing fix; once the issues are resolved, it should return with the next update or season cycle.

Direct answer: Merge Tactics has not been removed permanently; it has been temporarily disabled at times for maintenance or fixes and then re-enabled, with ongoing seasonal updates and content releases continuing to support the mode.
