Mercenary base class portrait

Build Mercenary

Il Mercenary porta la potenza di fuoco della balestra — il cambio munizioni e le granate lo rendono la classe più "shooter" di POE2.

The Crossbowman is a truly revolutionary new class. By wielding a crossbow, it can unleash attacks resembling those of a shotgun or grenade launcher, combining high burst damage with great mobility.
