==== It really comes down to: ====
* Their swarm AI vs your targeting AI

If:
* They combine intelligently, only where it matters,
* Use mega-forms as localized siege engines,
* Maintain swarms of 10-hit units to exploit any gaps your guns leave,

then they:

: 

If:
* You can detect combine events,
* Prioritize high-value fusion targets,
* And always ensure your kill-zones overlap (so dodging one gun means moving into another’s lane),

then you:

: 

In other words:
* Combining doesn’t auto-win it for them.
* It just evolves the fight into: - Big brawlers + supporting swarm vs - Star-level artillery + AI brain.

If you want, next we can:
* Imagine a specific battle wave: e.g., “10 planet-sized combined monsters + a cloud of small ones,”
* And walk through how your 10-gun array + their hive mind would actually play that engagement, step by step.
