Opinions from experienced Mergens (?!)

Hi friends. I recently reached Mergen like two days ago and I’ve been experimenting with different builds., watching various youtube videos, and reading old forum posts, but I can’t decide. I just want some opinions from experienced Mergens regarding Falconer + Mergen since this event ends very soon! I’ve been debating between two builds …

Archer 2 > Sapper 2 > Wugushi 3 > Mergen
Archer 2 > Sapper 2 > Wugushi 2 > Falconer > Mergen

(I know people typically run Fletcher in place of Wugushi, but I love this class and Broom Trap + Gu Pot is giving my so much life, lol. )

My questions are:

  1. Does Circling play an important role in Mergen’s usefulness late game?
  2. Is taking 1 circle of falconer worth it over Wugushi C3? (Or any other Rank 7 slot, honestly)
  3. Does the usefulness of Homing Arrow and Triple Arrow depend on Circling?
  4. Why does Spreadshot suck…

Any input would be appreciated, thanks friends.

Triple arrow and homing arrow hit all mobs in Circling.
Without circling you will hit few mobs, it will depend on your AoE attack ratio.

To use spreadshot you must keep a small minimum distance or it will fail.

Triple arrow required stand enough close to hit 3 arrows.
Spread shot required stand enough far to hit.
My rotate usually is: release homing, triple arrow, move and use parthian, spread shot, charging homing…

seeing as crit rate is hard to get and evasion isnt as good as before, dont you think phada/gladiator band is more suitable than sissel for mergen aoe? 74 crit rate from sissel add very little crit chance the higher crit rate you have.

Before update, sissel is essential for me. It seem like phada and sissel are the same, maybe phada is better if I’m non-falconer.
My team are gonna make solmiki set, so I dont want waste more money.
If I have a chance, I pick phada x2 atm
