Well given that the tooltips say: “Want to try out a new hero, ask your guildmates to post as mercenary”…? (or something along those lines)
It is useful for lower power guildmates to be able to contribute to surge. This is the only place they can get gold, but due to the absurd scaling of enemies, in surge, they cannot even defeat one area.
So that’s another reason.
Thirdly, it is the only way to get guild coins if I am not mistaken? Not that it is very useful, but it is a feature that is ingame for a reason, so I guess…?
So can you feedback to us please, what is the aim of the team to have mercenaries feature in the game? because there is clearly a massive disconnect on what the feature is for.
