Main article: Health

Each mercenary has three attributes: level, attack, and health.

• A mercenary can be leveled up by gaining experience by just playing, both in Travel Point and Fighting Pit. The max level of a mercenary is currently 30. When leveled up, their health and sometimes attack will be increased. After reaching level 5, 15 and 30, the player unlocks an ability, another ability, and an equipment of that mercenary, respectively.
  • Level can be seen placed on the rarity gem (in the centre of the card) and under the card name.
• When a mercenary Mercenaries/Attacks, it deals amount of damage equal to its attack points to its target, decreasing the target's current health points.
  • Attack can be seen at the bottom left of the card. Attack has unique look and color depending on the mercenary's role.

Ability

Main article: Ability

All collectible mercenaries have three abilities that can be upgraded by spending their own Mercenaries/Mercenary coins in the Tavern. All of them start at tier 1 and can be fully upgraded at tier 5. They are the main source of gameplay interactions and decide the order of action with their Speed attribute.

At level 1, the mercenary starts with one ability, while the other 2 can be unlocked after it reaches level 5 and 15 respectively.

In Travel Point, special, uncollectible mercenaries do not follow these traditional designs. Most of them have special, much more powerful effects, while some of them are very basic actions, such as Attack or Mercenaries/Fireblast.

Equipment

Main article: Equipment

All collectible mercenaries have three equipments which, like abilities, can be upgraded by spending their own Mercenaries/Mercenary coins in the Tavern. Most of them start at tier 1, but some can start at tier 2, 3, or even 4, the fully upgraded tier. They are additional boosts to the mercenary or its abilities.

Each mercenary has an equipment unlocked after it reaches level 30, one unlocked after its 2^nd task is completed, and another one unlocked after its 7^th task is completed.

Minion type

Main article: Minion type

Each mercenary may have a unique minion type to represent its race in Warcraft universe or Blizzard Entertainment's game universe. In gameplay, minion type can be an inspiration for synergy between their abilities and equipment, combining into a more powerful effect. It is placed between attack and health.

Rarity

Main article: Rarity

Rarity determines the how many of a mercenary's coins the player needs to craft it and how rare it is when the player opens a Mercenaries Pack.

• Rare mercs require 100 coins to craft.
• Epic mercs require 300.
• Legendary mercs require 500.

Card text

So far, only uncollectible mercenaries may have card text placed on the black stone area similar to minions in Constructed. They represent special effects.
