The Lich King has a nice variety to his toolset, with slows, targetable damage, healing, a Taunt, and Freezing effects. Frostbite's slow is permanent, as well, which could be amazing if it hits the right ability and especially so if …

Kurtrus seems like a Fighter-turned-Protector, much like Grom. He needs enemy Demons to be at his most effective, though, with a pretty powerful ramp up in Demon Slayer. Aimless Assault is random, which sucks, but the Immunity could be amazing; …

The Banana gameplay is...interesting, to say the least. Essentially buffing your characters, albeit randomly in the case of Banana Frenzy; at least you have some additional control over what the bananas buff (via the equipment). They're pretty low-impact to start …

Gruul will live or die based on how many Dragons exist in PvE, because there are only three in PvP at the game's start: Alexstrasza, Brightwing, and Voone's Evasive Wyrm. That's it, really; he's way too niche to be useful …

Grom is an Attack-based Protector, and I'm not sure how successful those will be. Wouldn't you just rather run a Fighter at that point? His ramp-up is slow, requiring him to kill enemies or proc every-other-turn with Battlefury. He can …

Dueling Gauntlets brings this character up a notch, in my opinion. Sure he's another Orc-synergy character, and I don't care for them, but who can't get behind a BATTLE TO THE DEATH?! If you can bump up his Attack somehow …

I don't like Cornelius. Like his (living) daughter, he is a "grinder" Merc designed to outlive opponents and eventually win over time. Unlike her, he's far more complicated, and "complicated" doesn't necessarily equate to "better" or even "good". He's supposed …

Cariel is a "grinder"-type Merc, meant to outlast one's opponent until they surrender via sheer exhaustion. That sounds all well and good, but could be a moot point with all the damage and disruption flying around. She's a fairly simple …

In my opinion, Speed is one of the most powerful aspects of Mercenaries. Go first and you could kill or debuff your opponent before they get to act, countering their gameplan whilst furthering your own. With that in mind, I …

Alex has some flexibility with Dragon Breath, and that's appreciated, but otherwise she's a damage-focused Protector. Dragonqueen's Gambit is a counter-move against characters who can ramp up their Attack, turning their high stats against them. With Dragonflight Talisman, that could …

Valeera seems insane to me. She inflicts a ton of damage, can slip by Taunts with her Finishing Blow, and Fan of Knives could improve your other Mercs by six total Speed if you equip Twin Blade Daggers. That's crazy! …

For a damage dealer, Voone has a bit of everything, with a focus-fire attack, an AoE effect, and his summon. Voone is reliant on Dragons to maximize the effectiveness of Dragon Breath, but at least he can create them. The …

Tyrande really only does one thing: Arcane damage. Sure she can make an ability permanently faster, but it's really just the damage. There just...isn't a lot here. If she can do it well then great, but outside of Arcane teams …

Tirion looks very impressive. Divine Shield is a powerful denial tool against AoE, but even against focus-fire tactics it could be a life-saver. Blessing of Kings is "just stats", but the Divine Shield really helps and the +8 Attack could …

Tavish's playstyle is "mind games", creating a mini-game within the game itself for your opponent. They can hurt Tavish to prevent Aimed Shot from being as effective, but then they risk setting off a Trap. For someone who wants to …

Sylvanas won't be winning any Speed competitions at her base level, that's for sure. I think Sylvanas has some interesting pieces, but as a whole her package is lacking. It all falls on Reclaimed Souls, which requires allies to die …

Scabbs may lack in utility or disruption, but his damage output has some flexibility to it. The varying Speed of Wicked Stab could be the key to setting up combos, and the Stealth from Shadow Blade will always be appreciated. …

Saurfang is another Orc character focused on - you guessed it - Orc synergy. At least he can spawn his own Orcs, and his buff is an AoE effect. They have to be damaged, though, which is kind of annoying; …

Rokara's ramp and damage are directly tied to the existence of Orcs in your team, so that narrows her usage considerably. Offensive Rally provides nothing but stats, which I believe is simply not worth it: you need some kind of …

It's hard to evaluate Rexxar when we don't know what the Animal Companions look like: one can assume they are the same minions from the spell [card]Animal Companion[/card], but who knows for certain. That said, Rexxar could easily find himself …
