Ay need a combo buidl? Mercenary base + military base + ranger

[@gomshom67iscool23]

The thing with mercenary base is that it is meant to be extremely strategic. if you airdrop in the right area, with the right units, and you micro the units efficiently, you get exactly the units you need. for example say you only want two medics. in that case, just micro the mercenary base that has the medic. you mainly want a few rushers and a huge swarm of riflemen because i swear the stacked riflemen were doing at least engineer damage when they kept stacking. basically elite's idea of the optimal loadout for the mercenary is not the only kind, but you can indeed bring farm and other towers, but mainly a tower to stall, say jester. if you have a loadout that can stall for a huge amount of time, allowing the rifle men to stack, you can have rushers to stun some quick enemies, medic to heal the rushers, riflemen to dish out the actualy damage, and maybe even grenadiar to have some decent crowd control so this tower IS better than pursuit in some ways, but it has to be used extremely strategically. Do not use this tower if you cannot think far ahead of time, because using mercenary base like a mil base would backfire

[@totallyoriginal6934]

Mercenary base was exactly what i needed for providing support to my unit spam loadout (Necromancer, Cowboy, Merc Base, Elf Camp, Farm) Intended for duo loadout, Cowboy goes early while teammate farms, you farm while teammate deals with mid game, get lots of rushers, medics, and you can spam necromancer ability to get powerful units that are likely defended by medic.

[@awesomedude111]

The thing i love moat about this tower is that it adds more strategy in the game. Instead of braindead accel spam, an even more powerful strat is using mercenary, but you must be strategic with it.

[@MiraidonInTheTrash]

dang, they have some bugs sometimes but the mercenary troop is insanely powerful, thanks for the tips btw

[@Shancannotbeathisbrothers]

I love it when there's a new tower because I can always confirm that you are going to upload a new video!

[@SeeminglyIncorrect]

So a fact about this is, the queue is probably more strategic than you think. it’s not just a decorative effect like jester. if you place medic at the bottom queue, it will go in the back of the spawned mercenaries.

[@SadDrifter]

well to be fair getting to level 150 is way easier than getting accel and engineer. When I got engineer I was already at level 250 and it’s nice to have a tower that’s strong but requires strategy

Thank you elite for everything man. You’re a great youtuber. one time i was crying and watched ur videos and i felt better.

[@Rizpace]

I found my new favorite loadout. Farm, DJ, Commander, Accelerator, and Mercenary Base. So basically, in late game, a max Mercenary Base can give a 20% damage boost. And when you think about it, this can lead to Ranger dealing way more damage or Accel getting more DPS. I tried this in a fallen game, set all of my unit quque to Riot Guard, used Airdrop right at Fallen King, and i got him to the point where he had to use his shield. And with the 20% damage buff, accel deals 60 damage. Which gives accel probably more than 400 DPS (without commander chain)

[@enderturtlegaming7194]

Accel has 178 dpd with no buffs due to firate bug so with 20% damage increase its dps is 213.

[@Rizpace]

@@enderturtlegaming7194 No, have you checked the Wiki? Accelerator has 281 DPS with no buffs due to firerate buff. Accelerator has a firerate of 0.208 due to firerate bug, minus 55%, equals 0.936. So that means, Accel can reach 600 DPS Mb if i did the math wrong.

[@enderturtlegaming7194]

@@Rizpace “DPS is calculated as Overcharge ÷ (Charge-Up + Cooldown + [Overcharge ÷ Damage x Tick])” There is no way to calculate the firate bugs effect as it can vary from game to game. It is also not even mentioned in the calculations for Accels Dps. Hypothetically accel can do the base 281 dps but realistically it’s gonna average out at about 170.

When im using mercenary base as solo, i use 2 mcb full of riot spawns, 1 mcb full of medics so that the riots deal alot damage and doesn't die easily because of the medic's buff. When using mcb as duos, 1 mcb of riot spawns and 1 mcb full of medics (basically the same for solo but reduced riots), but for trio-quad, i recommend that the mcb you're using (since you can only place 1) is 2 riots and 1 medic to maximize the damage output.

I think that the main problem with the tower is how restricting it is in your loadout when playing solos. I tried speedrunning molten with it. I brought farm, glad, mercenary base, accel, and DJ. The mercenary base was good but I do think that the ability is slightly annoying because paying 2,500 dollars to get an ability that is worse than accelerators which you would probably get before the ability is unlocked anyways.
