The iconic strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding its horizons with the introduction of the new Mercenaries System. This exciting update gives players enhanced control and power over their armies, revolutionizing gameplay and strategy.
At Level 26, players can unlock the Mercenary Camp, which allows them to contract and recruit formidable mercenary units. These warriors come with their own exclusive technologies that players can unlock and upgrade, adding depth to their military tactics.
Each mercenary group brings unique special skills to the battlefield:
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 claim their first Mercenaries for free by participating in a new event, which is currently live alongside the system launch.
This new addition to *Age of Empires Mobile* also opens the door to epic "What if" scenarios, allowing players to pair their favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes. Imagine Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These unique combinations create new strategic and tactical possibilities, enhancing the gameplay experience as players strive to build the ultimate empire.
