Mercenary Info (Skills & Stats)

Hello good day, I made this Info Topic to collect information about all kinds of mercenaries here in MXL especially for people that wants to choose their own merc and for new players. I gathered max base stats and skills of Mercs when characters reached level 150 (Names are randomized per game):
Note: This is a work in progress info topic. Some of the skills might get outdated and has no pics due to can't seem to find sources yet, any help will be appreciated including builds for mercs maybe.

Patch 1.5.0

Will update soon. Thanks for viewing!

This is a nice collection of data, but it's not really a guide. All of the information you posted can be found elsewhere and you didn't contribute anything new. It would be nice if you could get specific numerical data on stats and skills along with a description of their usefulness and a gif. Recommended mercs for each situation and a gear section would be helpful as well. All of this would require extensive testing, so if you plan on creating an actual guide, be well prepared before you post! I appreciate the effort... Good luck!

Thanks, I'm working on it.

99% sure the A1 Priestess "Pew Pew Pew" is not Limpet Laser, nor does it show cold damage in the merc sheet damage + she isn't a spell caster, so you'd have to try to figure out what skill is actually being used.

Nice information to start a guide though, it seems really bulky. Maybe there's a way to condense into shorter sections or have a navigation menu at the top to jump to certain mercs quickly. I would try to add small descriptions for each merc explaining their use, such as "Use this strong, tanky melee char for ranged chars with low defense/resists to help take aggro hits ahead of you" or something.

Good job so far, keep going.

Thank you, I really wanna know the skill name of it, I plan to put a navigation link at the top, but I can't seem to make it work, I'll figure it out soon.

First you start with setting the link up:

Type the info you want to display as the link here

then you have all this information in your guide, you will need to set a target for the link to search for, and it has to match exactly what you titled the link:

This is the text or image you will jump to after clicking the navigation menu link.

I've been able to set links like this for text as well as images (it creates a link out of whatever you put inside the navlink and /navlink tags), just be sure to set your navtarget and /navtarget properly.

(Click quote on this message to see the tags as I've written them -- Thanks suchbalance for teaching me this years ago from his well-written and coded guides). Also, maybe consult with Solfege on his Melee Sorceress guide. I believe he has a nice nav menu you can quote his guide and peek at the code he set up.

It works! Thanks a lot.

the "cost" images could be removed as they dont provide anything useful

Should note that Superbeast on A3 merc only lasts about 10 seconds until he recasts it.

That's why You should use Nih runes on Mercenaries gear.
