Notice how it says cannot be hit and not cannot be damaged. Never ever ever use Slicing Winds unless you are completely memeing.Įviscerate targets any nearby enemies and attacks them for 110% damage over the course of the ability. Mercenary has two special abilities to choose from and the choice is always Eviscerate over Slicing Winds. Mercenary’s Special: Eviscerate & Slicing Winds Oddly enough, stacking attack speed makes Blinding Assault go further, so make sure to bring more Soldier’s Syringes if you really want to go the distance.
Blue is three, yellow is two, and red is one. You can tell how many more dashes you have left by looking at the ability in your hot bar. Your dash will stun enemies and do 300% damage, plus, every time you hit an enemy, you can dash again, up to three times. Mercenary Utility: Blinding Assaultīlinding Assault is Mercenary’s utility skill, which allows him to dash across the map several times while also doing damage to every enemy he comes into contact with. The main reason that Whirlwind is better for Merc has to do with damage potential and also the fact that having Backup Magazines makes Whirlwind much better, but Backup Mags don’t make Rising Thunder that much better. Think of how Huntress’s Ballista knocks her in the air, it is roughly the same idea. Rising Thunder pushes both Mercenary and enemies in range into the air, dealing 450% damage to all enemies hit by the attack. Each slice does 200% damage and has a proc coefficient of 1, meaning that items proc normally on both swipes. Whirlwind makes the Mercenary slice either horizontally or vertically based on whether or not he is airborne at the time. The first, Whirlwind, is the vastly superior ability in just about every way, which is outline in my loadouts guide, but I’ll explain each ability here. Mercenary has two options for his secondary abilities. Mercenary’s Secondary: Whirlwind & Rising Thunder This makes the attack go off instantaneously and can increase your DPS even further. Meaning you can hold down the Laser Sword attack and continuously attack which increases your DPS drastically.Īlso, there is a delay between the last attack on the Laser Sword which you can cancel with Whirlwind (Merc’s secondary skill). The one thing to know about the Mercenary’s primary is that no other abilities cancel the Laser Sword attack.
For Mercenary, every third hit will do more damage and hit in a larger AOE. It works similarly to Acrid’s primary where you can combo your attacks after a certain number of hits. Laser Sword is the Mercenary’s primary ability. It gives you a double jump, that’s about it. Mercenary Passive: Cybernetic Enhancements I already have a guide on the best loadouts for every survivor, so go check that out if you are instead looking for the most optimal loadout for the Mercenary. Mercenary’s AbilitiesĪs always, I will be going over every Mercenary ability currently available in this section. So, all in all, the Mercenary is a fast-paced survivor in Risk of Rain 2 who likes to use his mobility to not only keep him alive but also to help him clear stages incredibly fast. As you will find out in the next section, the Mercenary has lots of built-in survivability with his skills as long as you choose the correct loadout for him. That’s not to say he doesn’t have survivability, though. Unlike Loader, the Mercenary can’t tank the entire instance without a care in the world and blazing elites end up being the Merc’s worst enemy. Sadly, the Mercenary has to pay a large price for all of his mobility, and that comes in the form of squishiness.
This hastens the stages up a bit so it is slightly easier to rush through stages with him. Because of this mobility, the Mercenary can do things most other survivors can’t and reach places that other survivors simply can’t go. Mercenary is a mobile survivor in Risk of Rain 2, in fact, his mobility is only second to Loader who can grapple across the map instantly, so not much of a fair fight.
