| Game introduced | Fantasy Life | ||||
The Mercenary is a Life you can choose to lead in the game Fantasy Life. It is one of 12 Lives that can be chosen as the player's main life at any time during the game by visiting the Guild Master (except during a story mission).
The Mercenary uses greatswords to inflict great damage to enemies in close combat. As it is two-handed, the player can not use a shield while wielding a greatsword. Greeatswords are the weapons with the highest damage in the game but with a slower attack speed.
The Mercenary's Life Shop is in Al Maajik Spelltown.
