Mercenaries – How to Hire Heroes

There are different ways in the game for you to actually hire Mercenary heroes from your friends and use them in different modes of AFK Arena!

Garrisoned Mercenaries

1. Players can send mercenary hiring requests to their friends or their guild mates. If they approve the request, the corresponding heroes may be hired out to the requesting player.

2. Players can loan out one mercenary hero to a maximum of 5 friends, with each loan period lasting 30 days. Players can re-apply to hire a hero when there are 30 or fewer days remaining.

Once the loan period has ended, the degree of progression reached with the hired hero will not be affected, however, they will not be able to be used in battle until players hire them again.

7. While on loan, ‘Garrisoned Mercenaries’ are viewed as a player’s own hero and suffer no limitations when used in battles.
