Merc team composition

(Demonic_Muff1n) #1

What’s your ideal merc team composition? My merc composition would be:
Phoenix
Proxy
Stoker

There’s no ideal team composition. The mercs you should pick depends of the map, the objective and which side of the map you are playing on. For exemple, you probably shouldn’t be playing an engineer at all on Chapel if you are playing on Defense. However an engineer will be useful on Chapel 1st and 2nd objective if you are playing as attacker. You’ll have to switch at the third objective however. Of course there’s some mercs like Sawbonez, Phoenix or Fragger who tend to be good on every maps, no matter the side they are playing. Also, you can’t complete all tasks with any squad composition. You’ll always have to count on your teammates for some other stuff.

My team composition depends a lot of what map I am playing. The only merc that is always on my squad no matter what is Sawbonez. I usually pick Kira on Chapel and Trainyard to deal with the final objectives. Third merc is usually Fletcher, but I tend to replace him when I play EV maps since there’s always three Proxies humping the EV. I also find myself playing RedEye more and more.

I usually stick with Sparks, Bush, and Kira.

I find engineers useful on the 1st and 3rd objective because they can seriously slow down progress of attackers.

Mine is currently Phoenix, Kushwacker, and a fire support. Planning to get Stokes, but many in the forums has disagreed, so I don’t know what to do now.

for me stoker is actually my fav merc cause he is a big help on the team as a fire support as he specialises in area denial with his molotovs. though his molotovs are quite useless in open maps such as chapel, trainyard and etc. in indoor maps though is where stoker truly shines. some people however get quite cocky with the molotovs thinking that they’ll get a guaranteed kill everytime. so dont expect too much, only use it as an area denial tool.
