The legendary strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the innovative Mercenaries System. This exciting new feature grants players enhanced control and formidable power over their armies, revolutionizing the gameplay experience.
At Level 26, players gain access to the Mercenary Camp, a pivotal hub where they can contract and recruit elite mercenary units. These units come with exclusive technologies that players can unlock and upgrade, tailoring their forces to dominate the battlefield.
Each mercenary group brings a unique set of special skills to the table:
Byzantine Cataphract:
- Increase the damage of all hero skills of the army by [2%]
- After the troops inflict skill damage, all damage received by our troops is reduced by [3.5%] for [3] seconds
Swiss Pikeman:
- Increase the probability of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills of all troops by [1%]
- Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]
Korean Archer:
- Increase the probability of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills of all troops by [1%]
- Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]
Players can get their hands on their first Mercenaries at no cost by participating in a special event that's currently live alongside the system's launch.
The addition of the Mercenaries System to *Age of Empires Mobile* opens up thrilling "What if" scenarios, allowing players to experiment with pairing their beloved legendary heroes with various mercenary classes. Imagine the strategic possibilities: Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These combinations offer fresh tactical approaches, enabling players to outsmart their opponents and build the mightiest empire imaginable.
