Mercenary

Introduction

We will be providing two different build guides to the Mercenary.

Unlock by obliterating yourself at the Obelisk.

To obliterate yourself means you will be killing yourself. So be prepared to end the run if you really want Mercenary. There is going to be a completely random portal called the celestial portal. When you enter a stage, if something in chat says "A celestial orb has appeared." It means a portal will show up. After you complete the teleporter for that stage, a white portal is going to show up. Go in and finish the parkour to get to the bottom. Then you can obliterate yourself to unlock Mercenary.

Mercenary is a melee-oriented character / class that provides niche play style and great mobility, useful in any situation.

With powerful blade attacks that can be combo-ed together while providing invulnerability and mobility, the Mercenary can quickly dispatch bosses and hordes of enemies alike.
