The Reckless Sellsword

Mercenaries are opportunistic warriors who fight for profit rather than honor. They specialize in dealing massive damage and controlling the battlefield through various combat techniques. While they sacrifice some defensive capabilities compared to other warrior classes, they make up for it with their versatile offensive toolkit and ability to adapt to different combat situations.

These battle-hardened fighters are known for their pragmatic approach to combat, using any means necessary to secure victory. Mercenaries are masters of psychological warfare, using taunts and intimidation to provoke their enemies into making mistakes. Their combat style is aggressive and relentless, focusing on overwhelming their opponents with a combination of powerful strikes and battlefield control. While they may lack the discipline of Knights or the raw power of Berserkers, Mercenaries make up for it with their adaptability and willingness to use any advantage they can get.

Unlock

Mercenary is a tier 2 class that is unlocked by leveling the Warrior class to level 25.

Pros and Cons

Comparisons are made considering classes from the same tier

• Strengths:
  • Strong AoE capabilities with Low Sweep
  • Excellent single-target damage through Vicious Strike
  • Unique ranged melee attack with Bounty Wrangle
  • Powerful counterattack potential with Eye For An Eye
  • Party-wide physical attack buff with Battle Roar

• Weaknesses:
  • Lower survivability compared to other warrior classes
  • Reliant on proper positioning and timing
  • MP management can be challenging
  • Lacks strong defensive cooldowns
  • No innate accuracy bonuses

Stats

Mercenaries primarily scale with STR for damage and DEX for accuracy.

VIT is important for increasing their survivability, while WIS helps with MP regeneration and magical defense. AGI is generally less important but can be useful for certain builds focusing on critical hits.

Recommended Builds

• For a balanced Mercenary:

Focus on STR for damage, with enough DEX to maintain accuracy. Add some VIT for survivability and WIS for MP regeneration.

• For a glass cannon build:

Maximize STR and DEX for maximum damage output, relying on positioning and crowd control to avoid damage.

• For a more durable Mercenary:

Invest more in VIT while maintaining a good balance of STR and DEX. This build sacrifices some damage for better survivability.

Gear

1. 1. 1. Weapons

• Axes: Excellent for Low Sweep builds due to their high damage output
• Swords: A balanced choice with good damage and accuracy
• Spears: Offer extended reach and can be useful for certain builds

1. 1. 1. Armor

• Heavy Armor: Provides the best protection and works well with Second Wind
• Medium Armor: A good balance between defense and mobility
• Light Armor: Generally not recommended due to the Mercenary's frontline role

1. 1. 1. Accessories

• Focus on accessories that boost STR, DEX, and VIT
• Consider MP regeneration accessories if you find yourself running out of MP frequently
• Counterattack chance accessories can be powerful with Eye For An Eye

1. 1. 1. Ideas and Suggestions

These are all suggestions, you can't have 1 script which is perfect for every hunt and every gear

• Prioritize Low Sweep when facing multiple enemies to maximize AoE damage
• Use Bounty Wrangle to pull in ranged enemies or to finish off weakened foes
• Vicious Strike is your primary single-target damage ability
• Keep Battle Roar active for the party-wide P.ATK boost
• Use Second Wind when your HP is low to maintain survivability
• For boss fights, consider adjusting the script to focus more on single-target damage
• When farming, you might want to prioritize AoE skills more aggressively
