Mercenaries are a mechanic in Hyrule Conquest that allow any faction to recruit unique Units from any Building tagged as "Mercenary," based on the Faction's Culture.
Gameplay[]
Mercenaries are a universal unit type recruitable from Buildings with the "Mercenary" tag. Mercenaries only cost Rupees to recruit, and generally exist to offer a faction some form of strategic option to counter another faction or account for one of its weaknesses. A Faction is limited to recruiting mercenaries available to its Culture, with the exception of the Darknut Legion, which can recruit Mercenaries of any Culture type.
