Diablo 2 Resurrected: Mercenaries Guide
We’ll take a close look at the Mercenaries available for hiring in Diablo 2 Resurrected in this guide. We’ll go through everything, including the many varieties of mercenaries in D2R, the variances in their equipment, and all of the large sets for them.
In Diablo II Resurrected, the Mercenaries have been drastically altered from the original game.
You can recruit these mercenaries to fight with you if you equip them with appropriate equipment like as helmets, guns, and other goods. The same character bonuses that your main character has can be passed down to Mercs.
Any mercenaries you employ in the current edition of Diablo 2 Resurrected will be closer to your character’s level, and they can be levelled up, even more, making them much handier.
There are four different categories of mercenaries available for hire, and we’ll go over each one in-depth.
Rogue Scouts
The Rogue Scouts are mercenaries with bows that can assist you on the front lines and give artillery support.
If you chat to Kashya and finish the Blood Raven quest for her, you can recruit these mercenaries from the Rogue Encampment.
Rogue Scout mercenaries are not very good in combat and can easily perish if they are exposed to a lot of danger, therefore they are only valuable if they stay behind at a safe distance and cast the Inner Sight Amazon talent, which reduces the enemy’s overall defences.
Desert Mercenaries
Talk to Greiz at Lut Gholein for hiring the Desert Mercenaries. This mercenary class is a popular choice among gamers because it excels in spear attacks.
Depending on the role you desire them for and the difficulty level you’re playing on, you can get them with a variety of aura possibilities.
The following are the various aura possibilities accessible to Desert mercenaries:
- Combat (Normal): Prayer
- Combat (Nightmare): Thorns
- Combat (Hell): Prayer
- Defense (Normal): Defiance
- Defense (Nightmare): Holy Freeze
- Defense (Hell): Defiance
- Offense (Normal): Blessed Aim
- Offense (Nightmare): Might
- Offense (Hell): Blessed Aim
As a melee-focused class, the Desert Mercenaries can be armed with either Javelins or Spears.
Iron Wolves
In Diablo 2 Resurrected, the Iron Wolves are the only mercenaries who can use magic. If you speak with Asheara at Kurast Docks, they are available for hire. The Iron Wolves specialize in elemental attacks such as fire, lightning, and cold.
They have a strong defence rating due to the shields and, like the Rogue mercs, keep at a distance to provide support.
Each elemental class has two spells that each iron wolf may use. The following are the spells accessible to each elemental kind of Iron Wolf merc:
- Lightning: Charged / Lightning Bolt
- Fire: Inferno or Fireball
- Cold: Glacial Spike, Frozen Armor, and Ice Blast
The damage that each elemental type deals is the same, however the debuffs that each elemental type causes differ significantly.
Barbarians
Complete the Barbarian Rescue mission before heading to Harrogath and speaking with Qual-Kehk to hire Barbarian mercenaries in D2 Resurrected.
Barbarian mercenaries can be equipped with a single sword and helms that are particular to their class. Based on their Bash and Stun skills, they excel in frontline fighting.
Barbarians are tough, and they’re a fantastic choice if you need some extra help on the front lines for your character.
