Universal Tower Defense X Merciless God (Goku Black) information

Merciless God in Universal Tower Defense X is the highlight of the Universal Fest Part 2 update. Based on Goku Black/Zamasu from the Dragon Ball manga, this incredible unit has multiple upgrade paths that directly affect its passives. The top path lets it summon clones, the middle path allows it to apply a range of debuffs, and the bottom path gives it several buffs via the Unstable Divinity passive.

Upgrades made to the Merciless God affect its clones since the latter copies the unit’s Damage. Moreover, the clones have no spawn cost, allowing you to overwhelm enemies with sheer numbers and force.

How to get Merciless God in Universal Tower Defense X

Merciless God is a unit of Universal rarity. You can summon it from Universal Banner 2 by using Universal Gems. This currency can be earned in Universal Tower Defense X by completing levels in most gamemodes as well as by redeeming the latest codes.

With a summon chance of 0.005%, acquiring the Merciless God is incredibly challenging. You’ll need to consistently earn Universal Gems and possibly spend several thousand of them to obtain the unit.

Fortunately, the gacha has a Universal Pity. You’re guaranteed to get the Merciless God from the gacha after the 15,000th summon, if you haven’t received one from the previous pulls.
