===Merging===
A Beast Handler can merge one or both of its beasts with any other Beast Handler on the map. A beast can only merge with another beast of the same or higher tier, and cannot merge with a beast that is already at its maximum Beast Power. Tier 1 beasts cannot merge with other tier 1 beasts, due to them always being at their maximum Beast Power, but they can still merge with higher tier beasts. The player can upgrade a contributing Beast Handler to increase the Beast Power it contributes, but they cannot upgrade it beyond the target beast's tier.
A Beast Handler can merge one or both of its beasts with any other Beast Handler on the map. A beast can only merge with another beast of the same upgrade path and the same or higher tier, and cannot merge with a beast that is already at its maximum Beast Power. Tier 1 beasts cannot merge with other tier 1 beasts, due to them effectively always being at their maximum Beast Power, but they can still merge with higher tier beasts. The player can upgrade a Beast Handler after merging its beast to increase the Beast Power it contributes, but they cannot upgrade it beyond the target beast's tier.


Merging a beast removes it from play and transfers its Beast Power to the target beast. If the player sells a Beast Handler that has other Beast Handlers contributing to it, their beasts return to them. Otherwise, merging is irreversible.
