Mercenaries are invaluable allies, offering your character a range of bonuses and extra stats. Hiring one only requires 10,000 crystals and speaking to a nearby NPC.
Your mercenary’s level is always the same as your hero, with its own talent tree, so spending points on abilities that will benefit your hero the most is important.
There are three types of mercenaries, each with their own skill tree, and they can be hired from various towns across Hero Siege. They have their own special abilities and passive attributes, such as increased damage, extra health regeneration, and higher chances of stunning foes and bosses.
Gearing Mercenaries
Equipping your mercenary with Magic Find% and Exp Gain% is important to benefit your character’s stats.
Not only that, they’ll need to be properly geared with suitable defenses to prevent them from untimely deaths, which would require a hefty payment of 10,000 crystals to revive them.
