Merge elements

A fundamental mechanic in Arhe is the merging of elements — way to create new and more powerful elements by combining existing ones. This process drives progression, unlocks rare and complex elements, and deepens the strategic gameplay as players discover new combinations and optimize their element collection.

How Element Merging Works

n Arhe, players start with a set of basic elements: Water, Air, Earth, and Fire. The goal is to merge these elements together to create new ones, progressively unlocking more complex and powerful combinations. The process is both creative and strategic, as players must decide which elements to combine based on their current needs, gameplay goals, and available resources.

Basic Combinations

Merging two elements often results in common combinations, such as combining Water and Air to create Steam. These initial combinations are essential for progressing through the early stages of the game.

Advanced Combinations

As players level up and unlock rarer elements, they can merge more complex combinations, such as combine more than two elements. These advanced elements open up new gameplay strategies and are often required for specific quests or PvP battles.

Elemental Stability and Risks

Certain elements in Arhe may have stability factors, especially Radioactive elements, which degrade over time unless stabilized. Players must decide whether to merge these unstable elements immediately or wait until they can stabilize them using in-game resources.

Not all merges are guaranteed to succeed, especially when merging rarer elements. Success rates may vary based on the level of the elements involved and the player’s experience level, making it important to plan merges carefully.

Risk vs. Reward

Merging unstable or rare elements carries risks, as a failed merge can result in losing valuable assets. However, successful merges often yield powerful elements that give players a significant edge in PvP or other game modes.

How to Merge Elements

The merging process in Arhe is simple and intuitive:

1. Select Elements: Choose two or more elements from your collection that you wish to merge.

2. Confirm the Merge: Review the potential result and success rate before finalizing the merge.

3. Burn Elements: Once confirmed, the original elements are burned (used up), and a new element is minted and added to your collection.

Some elements require a specific level or special Elemental Discipline to be combined, especially for higher-tier combinations. This system encourages players to level up and specialize in certain elements to unlock advanced combinations.
