Mercenary

A Mercenary is a class of soldiers that use swords only. They tend toward balanced statistics, although they generally have low resistance. Their defense is usually higher than a Myrmidon, but they may not be as fast. They have very high skill and decent strength, along with better HP than the Myrmidon. Their Luck does suffer sometimes, though.
==Combat==
Mercenaries are some of the most powerful fighters you can have on the field since in most cases they can deal lots of damage while being able to take a few hits as well. Their one problem is that once they are surrounded by enemies, they can't leave the battlefield since their Movement is mediocre. However, a high-level Mercenary can dispatch hordes of axe users with ease, and even stand a chance of avoiding lance and sword attacks. They will more often than not strike their target, and score a few Critical Hits due to their high Skill.
==Player Characters== 
Josh is the only playable Mercenary. He automatically promotes after chapter 16. There are very few NPC Mercenaries (the generic Mercenary Array does not count).
