my personal worst mercs:
Ignis: A fire mage from a fantasy world that accidentally teleported herself into the DB universe from a botched spell. Took up mercenary work, firearms, any incendiary weaponry and bad puns. Also made by me.
Rainn: a guy with a nade that causes it to rain f*cking acid
my personal favorite mercs:
Buttface McGee and Butthead McCigar Smoker

I’m only listing the worthwhile merc ideas because there are just TOO MANY HORRIBLY THOUGHT OUT IDEAS (looking at you Kirtap101). Mercs ideas on this list have been well discussed and built on by the community, are well designed in either visual terms, game-balancing terms or both, as well as the idea being original.
Rain (also see Reckless): VERY well designed fire support merc. Calls in FREAKING AC130.

Grease: Well designed Stoker alternative. And beautifully presented.

Turner: Maybe a bit biased, but a merc with a well thought anti-deployable ability.
forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/discussion/28551/merc-idea-turner#latest
Croc/Evie: Both well thought out in their own right, but basically have the same primary ability, which is some sort of a damage absorbing/reducing shield. I only favor Croc over Evie for the diversity factor.

Shellshock: Interesting new defensive medic idea.
Syx: Very interesting (if controversial) ability, but well thought out.

Honorable mentions: These are mercs who I either don’t see entering the game, haven’t been fleshed out by the COMMUNITAH, are just to one dimensional or have a major flaw that hasn’t been fixed. But the inital concept is good.
Bulwark (eox’s merc concepts) Dispatch, Echo, Steel, Smog, Swift. oh, and SHINY’S FAN-MERCS AND MERCENARY FUSIONS. Beautiful thread.

I’ve always thought Thunder would be good for a deployable riot shield that provides XP for absorbing damage since he has zero support abilities and all he has in the means of combat abilities is a weak flashbang grenade that is only useful if you can respond within seconds.
