The legendary strategy series, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is expanding with the introduction of its innovative Mercenaries System, granting players enhanced control and strength over their military forces. At Level 26, players can unlock the Mercenary Camp, enabling them to hire and enlist formidable mercenary units and enhance their exclusive technologies, which are tailored to these elite warriors.

Each mercenary group comes equipped with unique abilities, detailed as follows:

Byzantine Cataphract:

• Boosts the damage of all hero skills within 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:

• Enhances the likelihood of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills for all troops by [1%]
• Decreases all damage received by troops by [2%]

Korean Archer:

• Increases the chance of triggering the hero’s pursuit/active skills for all troops by [1%]
• Reduces all damage received by troops by [2%]

Players can obtain their first set of Mercenaries at no cost by participating in a special event, currently active alongside the system's launch.

The addition of the Mercenaries System to *Age of Empires Mobile* introduces thrilling "What if" scenarios, allowing players to combine their favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes. Imagine Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These combinations open up new strategic and tactical possibilities, enabling players to outsmart their adversaries and build the mightiest empire imaginable.
