The iconic strategy franchise, *Age of Empires Mobile*, is set to revolutionize gameplay with the introduction of its new Mercenaries System. This exciting update allows players to gain enhanced control and power over their armies, adding a fresh layer of strategy to the game.

Each mercenary group brings unique special skills to the table:

• After the troops inflict skill damage, all damage received by our troops is reduced by [3.5%] for [3] seconds

Swiss Pikeman:

• Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]

Korean Archer:

• Reduce all damage received by troops by [2%]

Players have the chance to secure their first Mercenaries for free by participating in a new event, which is currently live alongside the system launch.

The addition of the Mercenaries System to *Age of Empires Mobile* brings epic “What if” moments to the forefront, enabling players to experiment with pairing their favorite legendary heroes with various mercenary classes. This innovative feature opens up new strategic and tactical gameplay possibilities. Imagine scenarios like Joan of Arc leading Roman Centurions or Hannibal commanding Japanese Samurai. These unique combinations can be utilized to conquer adversaries and build the most expansive empire imaginable.
