Mercenary
Frontline bruiser
The safest first Gyldhunter. Shield blocks teach spacing while you learn extraction timing and Woodling hunts.
PvE BPvP B
Stances: Sword & Shield · Hammer
Strengths
- • Forgiving defense while learning stamina reads
- • Strong PvE clear for early camp upgrades
- • Reliable solo boss pressure with shield stance
Weaknesses
- • Lower burst than assassin or caster mains
- • Can overcommit if you treat every pack as free loot
Starter tips
- 1
Queue Hallowgrove Normal and stay in Sword & Shield for your first three extracts.
- 2
Bank restricted items at camp before matchmaking so the boat lets you deploy.
- 3
Leave early with a clean Soul of Return instead of greeding for Perfect gear.
