Strategy/Usage

It is recommended that you absolutely not use Merc in these forms, as she has very low stats, even at level 50, an abnormally long cooldown, and a very low chance to perform a Critical Hit.

True Form

Merc's True Form immediately helps her way more than her previous forms, increasing her health, reducing her cooldown to around 20-11 seconds, and gaining a 20% chance to perform a Critical Hit. However, her health and damage still remains low, resulting in her not being able to tank much from mid-game and late-game Metal enemies, meaning that even with her True Form, she will not be of too much use.

Her damage can pick off pesky peons such as Metal Doges or Metal Hippoes, but those peons spawn in swarms, which overtime, overwhelm Merc due to her Single Target. Her most usage may come from being able to damage unbuffed Metal One Horns, as they have low health paralleling her low damage; in stages that only spawn one such as Compass Mound, this can be a good thing if you are lucky. Overall, Merc and Cat CC gains notable buffs, but none solve her original issues, so only use her if you’re feeling lucky and got energy to spare, as she’s not the best choice.
