Slicing Winds does NOT scale with attack speed, unlike Eviscerate.The damage dealt when using Blinding Assault to slam enemies into walls can receive critical hits.Blinding Assault can slam nearly any flying enemy into walls for massive damage including airborne bosses, but it cannot affect Alloy Vultures.This can be easily achieved if you hit directly on top of its mantle. If you use Blinding Assault very close to Wandering Vagrant, you can push it into a wall at high speeds causing massive damage.Using your Primary attack on enemies such as the Wandering Vagrant while airborne also noticeably reduces your rate of decent.Wax Quail's boost applies for Mercenary's first two jumps, whereas other survivors can only receive the boost on their first jump, even with the Hopoo Feather.Some bosses have heads which act as solid platforms, which the Mercenary can stand on to resume attacking the boss without as much danger from the swarm of enemies below.Mercenary's health regeneration is noticeably higher than other survivors, allowing him to recover faster than the other survivors without the use of healing items.Prior to Build ID #3731106, Eviscerating directly into the ground when airborne would cause you to take heavy fall damage.Your longest distance jump combo is Sprint-Jump- Whirlwind- Blinding Assault- Eviscerate-Double Jump- Whirlwind.You have just enough time to Eviscerate between Blinding Assaults, if you do it immediately without any delay between dashes. Your Blinding Assault cooldown reset leaves just enough time to use Laser Sword twice or combo Whirlwind + Laser Sword before you need to dash again.When fighting bosses, Mercenary can stay safely in the air above their heads for a very long time by chaining together Whirlwind-> Eviscerate-> Whirlwind along with laser sword attacks and double jumps.Activating Whirlwind immediately after the hit connects can cancel this delay. There is a short delay before attacking again after the third hit in the Laser Sword combo.Use it in the air to stay airborne, but use it on the ground to be evasive as it covers more distance faster. His playstyle is unique because of his low durability as a melee class. Whirlwind when used on the ground dashes you forward, when used in the air it acts like a double jump. The Mercenary survivor is a unique melee class with good multipliers and has the most mobility in any survivor in Risk of Rain 2.Whirlwind Can be used on slanted edges / ramps that you can walk up to launch the player vertically.A Laser Sword combo will, however, only start when you are not in the middle of using another skill. Laser Sword combos are not interrupted by your non-Primary skills, sprinting, or jumping, allowing you to slash while using Whirlwind, Blinding Assault, and Eviscerate. You should always hold your Primary skill down.
