Mercenary (Infantry)

Mercenaries are extremely powerful units, units that have ‘no true counter’. They are trained almost instantly and take no pop slots, and are useful for when you are fighting near a Town Center. However, be careful when using Mercenaries as they cost a lot of gold and die after 40 seconds.
