==== Now add their ability to combine: ====
* Multiple 10k-hit monsters can fuse into: - Mega-forms with insane HP pools (tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of effective hits)
* Or: - A 10k-hit core with layers of 100- and 10-hit monsters wrapped around it

You get things like:
* Living dreadnoughts: - HP measured in ridiculous amounts of your fire - Acting as mobile, regenerating (via combining/splitting) bunkers
* They can even: - Merge partly damaged units to “refresh” the formation, - Use nearly-dead bodies as suicide armor.

But remember: for your weapon:
* Big combined targets are easier to hit
* And your shells are so strong that it’s actually more efficient to blow up a big chunk of HP in one place than to overkill tiny targets.

So combining + 10k-hit isn’t free power for them. It’s a high-risk, high-reward move.
