What we can confirm
Mercenary is one of the six officially listed Mistfall Hunter classes. The current research confirms the roster and the shared class framework, but it does not establish a permanent “best Mercenary build” or a complete official skill table.
Every class has two unique weapon stances. Players can shape a build through skills, talents, equipment, gem affixes, and tactical items, then take that class into solo play or a squad of up to three players.
Exact Mercenary role labels, stance names, skill values, talent paths, equipment priorities, and best-build recommendations are unconfirmed. Do not publish them as fixed facts without a current official page or an in-game check.
Build framework
Use this page as a checklist for a future Mercenary build article. The framework is source-backed; the final selections still need version-specific verification.
- Class: Mercenary
- Weapon stance: Choose between the class’s two unique stances — exact names unconfirmed.
- Skills and talents: Compare the available active skills and talent paths in-game.
- Equipment and gem affixes: Record the actual item requirements and trade-offs for the current patch.
- Tactical items: Add only items and use cases confirmed by the official game or a dated source.
- Run context: Note whether the configuration is for solo or a three-player squad.
What to verify next
Before calling a Mercenary setup “best”, check the current official announcements for balance changes, then capture the in-game skill, stance, and equipment screens. The official research also records an Aug 6 update that included Mercenary balance or issue fixes, so any recommendation needs a visible version date.
