Merge a Mini Army Troop Tier List
A chapter ranking so you stop sending Bikers to an airfield that already has jets.
This list grades models by the chapter they belong to, not by a fake global DPS. A shotgun soldier is S-tier for the starter camp and D-tier for the airfield. If you want a single “best unit,” it is Elite Tank until a patch adds a free model above it.
Cross-check names on the infantry, vehicles, air, and elite pages. Compare spend decisions on the game pass list. Build a deploy on best army.
Early chapter (starter camp)
S — Shotgun infantry (tier 4). First model that reliably flips the nearest flag in first-session footage. A — Merged soldiers below that. Necessary fuel. Do not deploy the first pair. B — Fresh soldier. Only good as a twin. D — Any single leftover on a full pad. Merge or park it. Do not parade it.
Mid chapter (garrison and compound)
S — Biker into ATV. Bax and Dinozaur both treated the bike as the first “real” toy. ATV added health (about 400 in one comment) and a rear gun. A — Jeep / turret truck / missile truck. Missile truck damage talk sat around 190–230. These win compounds if the neighbor is still on bikes. B — Extra shotguns. Fine as bodies behind a bike, bad as the apex. C — Random pack tank you cannot replace. A lone Heavy Tank is a hero unit. Hero units die.
Tank chapter
S — Mammoth Tank and 2,000–4,000-tier tanks. These are the first models that make an airfield conversation honest. A — First tank / scout tank / Heavy Tank. Heavy Tank is a landmark on the Index, not an automatic win. B — Missile truck you still have. Keep it as a body, not as the plan. D — Bikers on this chapter. They are merge fuel. Stop deploying them as the tip of the spear.
Air chapter
S — Bomber and tactical heli when you can replace them. A — Cargo plane and small plane. Cute, slow, and enough to bully a weak plot. B — Supersonic jet as a flex model. It still crawls. Do not expect jet-fighter pacing. C — Plus-fighter shop offer. Footage called it garbage value.
Elite chapter
S — Elite Tank. Best merge-obtainable closer in August 2026 footage. A — Elite Minigun and Elite Riflemen. Required steps, already scary on a flag. B — Stealth pilots as an enemy benchmark, not as a confirmed merge target. Unranked — last two Index slots. Look pack-locked. We will not invent their names.
How to use the letters
Pick the chapter you are in, not the chapter you want. If your Spawn Tier still produces shotguns, you are in the early list even if a neighbor has jets. Raise Spawn Tier with cash from how to get cash fast, then come back.
If a weekly patch adds a model, we will drop it into a chapter on latest update and then here. Until then, do not trust a ranking that includes Mini War buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common Merge a Mini Army questions.
What is the best troop overall?
Elite Tank among merge-obtainable models. Two later Index entries may sit above it if you pay.
Why is the Biker S-tier on one list and D on another?
Chapter. Bikers win mid camps and feed airfields. Grade the chapter you are playing.
Are health numbers exact?
No. They are creator callouts from specific sessions. Use them as vibe, not as a spreadsheet.
Where do I see every model name?
The Troops hub and its four roster pages. This list is the grade; those pages are the lore.
