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

why is that so true?

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.

Tips: - You need a good strategy for it to work -Put it in the end of the path -You can put 3 men base, and it has 3 rows -Get atleast 2 medics -If you are focussing on the grenaider, its good for hoards -Get rifleman and shield if focussing on high health boss enemies

But grenadier overall has more DPS than rifleman??

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.

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.

Useful tip place it at the exit and probably use one to support your other towers

def on of my fav towers. The amount of fun spawners have is insane (in my humble opinion)

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

The tower is just, the best, it worth grind to get the level and claim it The levels are cool, i like the Airdrop Ability, the rework at level 6 is INSANE!

Okay, so, I’ve figured out that it can be really strong because field medic, will also buff any other troops, elf camp, crook, necromancer, and mil base, which you guessed, very good if you manage to have a buffed strong summon like a rail tank, big elf, executioner, or even a tommy crook.

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)

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.

The damage buff and the spawn mechanic makes it a complicated tower to use

I agree with your statement of using it with a team instead of solo. But it,s an S tier tower.

will you be playing tdx for its endless update

Not gonna lie, when the tower first came out I thought it sucked because I didn't know it had to be by the trail to sawn units. It is actually very good.

Its noice to see elite uploading a lot bois

Video idea: I wonder if this will rival elf camp

the mercenary takes alot of strategy to use, in my case i was playing with some friends in the chessboard map and we dint try to plan anything at all, until we saw the max level soldier range, we were able to stacks alot of them in 1 area which was still far far away from the entrance so the stack was insanely strong, so strong where it was spawn killing them

its funny because before you did this video, i tested it and used the EXACT same loadout as you LOL

the new tower "mercenary base" is so powerful, you spawn camp it when you select them all into riot shield and some medics

Dang new Tower is sicks

another day another elite video! LETS GO

Rusher + Medic, is SO OVERPOWERED, I did a molten game with it and the molten boss got SHREDDED

Honestly 10/10 tested it with 2 other spawner mili base and elf camp and it can solo fallen plus farm no other towers though.

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. Lesson that I learned? Just use commander and not the mercenary base next time. In multiplayer it's really good though. Easy mid-high A tier.

the field medic is gonna be op for towers like necromancer thats put near the front

you used the perfect map for mercenary base though, it reachs a angle that goes outwards instead of inwards, means you have more space to use.

another good map for merc base is fungi island or honey valley, both maps are good as units spawned can stack (unless it’s riot guard)

mercenary base is OP for polluted since u can buff ANY good tower and place it on the first and second loop with dj buff will hopefully buff all the towers

Fun fact: Crook Boss is bugged because it can't spawn any tommy goons

the shield prevents one-shots, which basically doubles the unit's HP

well this is the first time you can solo fallen with a “support tower” My take on this tower is that it’s extremely op if you can analyze the situation you’re in for example if there’s a massive crowd get 3-5 grenadiers to send those back to jesus. Or If you need basic dps just get some rifles Or if you need boss damage get rioters This tower can skill issue accel if used correct.

How dose It feel that like 2 to 3 years ago your goal was 4 k but now you so close to 900k

Also the timers aren’t glitched there’s a limit on how many can spawn hence why you can unlock more slots, the timer ticks down and if it hits zero and one is still on the map a second won’t spawn until it dies I think

When ever elite post it is always a bang

The medics also work on units like crook boss goons and most likely elf camp tho not sure but 100% works on crooks so you could combo will with golden crook boss

medic will heal allies until on track? (include tank, elf , necromanser or other) It possible? or only heal there tower?

Honestly, I’ve added it to my solo fallen loadout (gcowboy, gmini, dj, commander and before turret) and it’s pretty good

after the crook boss gold is unlockable at level 30 only and it can spawn unlimited goons

My problem is with the fluid max placement limit. If you have 4 players and only 1 has mercenary base, you can only place one. It should just be a shared cap of 3 or four.

hmmm this tower reminds me of basicly 3 TYPES OF OTHER MERCENARY TOWERS. but they are all good.

wow i did not expect that this tower has a damage buff, maybe it could be good for buffing gold minis since it give atleast an extra damage or 2 and becouse minis shoot fast it will affect it a lot
