The iconic strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, continues to evolve with the introduction of its new Mercenaries System. This innovative feature empowers players with greater control and enhanced capabilities over their armies, adding a fresh layer of strategic depth to the game.
Unlocking the Mercenary Camp at Level 26 opens up a world of possibilities. Players can contract and recruit formidable mercenary units, as well as unlock and upgrade their exclusive technologies. This system not only diversifies your army but also strengthens it with specialized skills unique to each mercenary group.
Byzantine Cataphract:
- Increase the damage of all hero skills of the army by [2%]
- After the troops inflict skill damage, all damage received by our troops is reduced by [3.5%] for [3] seconds
Swiss Pikeman:

- Increase the probability of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills of all troops by [1%]
- Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]
Korean Archer:
- Increase the probability of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills of all troops by [1%]
- Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]
Players can secure their first Mercenaries at no cost by participating in a new event that coincides with the launch of the system. This event not only introduces players to the mercenaries but also offers an engaging way to enhance their gameplay experience.
The addition of the Mercenaries System to *Age of Empires Mobile* also brings exciting “What if” scenarios to life. Players can now experiment with pairing their favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes, leading to innovative strategic and tactical gameplay. Imagine scenarios like Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions, or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These unique combinations provide players with endless opportunities to outsmart their opponents and build the mightiest empire in the game.
