Skill and battlefield behavior
The final Mercenary evolution improves durability and charge value without adding a separately verified special skill. This is a role description rather than an invented numeric stat card; the current in-game unit panel remains the source of truth for damage, health, speed, block health, and range.
Counters and matchups
| Favorable into | Watch out for |
|---|---|
| Basic infantry and direct pushes | Anti-armor pressure and long evolution investment |
Evolution and unlock path
Mercenary → Squire → Knight. Evolution requires Mastery Level 20 according to current roster references. Check the live evolution screen before spending resources because costs and requirements can change.
Best formation partners
Pair Knight with Crossbowman and Scout Rider. The aim is to cover a different battlefield job: a frontline protects ranged damage, spears discourage cavalry, and mobility punishes exposed backlines.
Verification status
Evolution path is listed in the current official game description.
