After beginning the game players can recruit up to 18 mercenaries to join them in their travels. Users can have up to 8 mercenaries fight alongside in battle, and shuffle their lineup as the situation calls for. Mercenaries, like your hero, advance in both level and rank as they get stronger. Currently there are 30 different mercenaries that fall under 4 different classes and styles.
Melee Mercenary attacks your opponents at close range. Melee mercenaries have high HP and Defense, and average Action Power. Ranged Mercenary attacks your opponents from a distance. Ranged mercenaries generally have low HP and high Action Power. Magic Mercenary uses magic to attack opponents. Magic mercenaries typically rely on their spells, which are stronger than their basic abilities. Artillery Meercenary inflicts splash damage on your enemies. Due to Artillery Mercenaries' accuracy and wide range, they can be very effective at stunning your opponents.
