How is Mergen and its builds?

Hello there

How is mergen doing atm? I’ve seen tons of content and questions about BMs, Falcs and Musketeers, but rarely I see anything about Mergens. I do love an oldschool archer.

  • Is Fletcher c3 - Mergen c2 any viable right now?
    I know Falconer c3 is kinda meta right now, but I dislike their gameplay. I could use a Falc c1 tho.

  • The following builds:
    Archer c2 - Sapper c2 - Fletcher c3 - Mergen c2
    Archer c2 - Ranger c1 - Scout c1 - Fletcher c3 - Mergen c2
    Probably the first one does the job better, but how the second one would perform?

  • Are there any other builds available right now?

I wish I could like QS3 builds. But hell, no. This is the most boring class I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing. So if we could stay away from it =)

Thanks for any help.

Mergen utilizes Aoe attack ratio or in short AAR.

Meta right now is anything as long as it ends with Falc3-Mergen.

I’m a Ar2-Sapper2-Rog1-Falc3-Mergen myself.
As of now it is hard to imagine Mergen without Falc3’s Aiming and Circling, as it is hard to hit a lot of mobs with Mergen itself, especially if you are low in AAR.

Mergens are good for bursting down mobs(triple arrow/homing) and bosses (arrow sprinkle).

Fletcher3-Mergen2 build is good if you have a very good weapon. This build focuses on skill rotations, but imo, this underutilizes Mergen.

Im not particular with scouts build, but if you really wanna go mergen, make sure you can invest good weapon, centaurus cards, and other AAR gear. Because until you have those, you are yet to see the best in mergens.

I personally think fletcher is quite underwhelming, but at the same time I feel that fletcher is meant to go with mergen. Mergen is more AoE oriented whereas fletcher’s strongest skills are single target DoT.

Both arch2-sap2 and arch2-ranger-scout are good choices in fletcher-merg. Think of sapper as a filler with AoE DoT, whereas scout offers filler single target DoT (and cloaking of course)

I would choose sapper2 over ranger-scout. The AoE skills from mergen do not exactly have low cooldown, and they cost a lot of SP. Having broom trap covers it.

I have a character with this build. It’s fun, but underwhelming. It’s somewhat decent if you’re paired with a Falconer 3 and/or you’re fighting against stationary enemies. If we had a reset event for Archers, I think the first build I’d test would be Archer3 Wugu3 X Mergen2. X could be Falc1, Rogue1 or Scout1.

Mergen is only good with falcon 3 unfortunatelly, you can’t be best mergen if you don’t have aim. :prince:

A2>Sapper3>Falcon3>Mergen is better full dex, hybrid or full str
