Mercenary: B tier

A useful early anchor while premium frontline units remain unavailable.

Strengths

Easy to fit into a starter army and valuable for completing role coverage without waiting for rare pulls.

Limitations

Its ceiling is lower than premium anchors; replace it only when the new unit improves the same role or the whole formation.

Best formation use

Give Mercenary one clear job and use the other slots to cover missing roles. Recommended partners include Archer and Scout Rider. A practical four-slot army still needs frontline stability, ranged pressure, and enough mobility to answer objectives.

Upgrade and replacement advice

Do not upgrade from rarity alone. Test whether the replacement improves accessible frontline, fixes a role gap, or makes the full formation more consistent. Change one slot at a time so the result is measurable.
