Mercenary Lord [Passive]

Friendly non-Boss Mercenaries near you deal 50% more damage. Gain 50 Armor against Minions and Mercenaries.


Tier 2 (Hero Level 4)

Mercenary Lord is a Generic Talent that both granted durability against enemy Mercenary Camps and empowered those that you claimed yourself. The damage reduction makes capturing mercs significantly easier, especially bosses which are affected by the damage reduction. The bonus damage only applies when you are within half a screen-length of the mercs, but can provide a huge boost in pushing power and presence, and is shown by the mercs growing slightly larger in size.

Mercenary Lord's damage aura can affect placed Turret power-ups in Volskaya Foundry and Hanamura Temple, but does not affect Bosses on any map.
