If you are struggling to play Merc, start on Drizzle and get some practice in.

Otherwise just bail or focus on cleaning the floor for a few seconds until you find an opportunity. Throw out a Whirlwind if you think you can still hit it, or drop an Eviscerate to compensate.

You may be surprised what you can hit.ĭon't be disheartened if you miss a dash on a Wisp and fail to reset. Just your primary and Whirlwind are often more than enough to deal with groundborne mobs.īonus Tip: As you get a feel for your airgame, try estimating your max height and air Whirlwinding any stray Wisps that are close enough to the ground. Prioritize them first in a fight - presuming there are no other more lethal threats such as bosses - then drop to the ground floor to clean up the other enemies. They are easily the most annoying thing you have to deal with when playing Merc, as you have to go out of your way to deal with them, and their near-guaranteed hit shots can pile up fast if you don't take the time to clean them up. That said, Wisps will still be obnoxious. Your cooldowns are all under 10 seconds, and you'll have them back before you know it. Don't hold back from using these skills on account of their cooldowns, and don't feel uncomfortable about using an entire Eviscerate to remove a single Wisp if you think it might cause problems. It's easy to bust out a dash and wipe out three or four of them, or expend an Eviscerate to deal with another one or two. The hardest part of playing him for me used to be dealing with Wisps.Īfter a few hours and some more experience though.the hardest part about playing him is still Wisps, but only marginally moreso than other enemies.

Mercenary is easily the hardest class in the game to play, and can easily be overwhelmed if you don't take the time to clean up the area every now and then.
