    • Attack can be seen at the bottom left of the card. Attack has unique look and color depending on the mercenary's role.
  • When a mercenary's Mercenaries/Health reaches 0, the mercenary dies.
    • Health can be seen at the bottom right part of the card. Health has a water-drop-like look and unique color depending on the mercenary's role.

Ability[]

Main article: Ability

All collectible mercenaries have three abilities that can be upgraded by spending their own Mercenaries/Mercenary coinsMercenaries - Coins in the Tavern. All of them start at tier 1 and can be fully upgraded at tier 5. They are the main source of gameplay interactions and decide the order of action with their Mercenaries/Speed attribute.

At level 1, the mercenary starts with one ability, while the other 2 can be unlocked after it reaches level 5 and 15 respectively.

In Travel Point, special, uncollectible mercenaries do not follow these traditional designs. Most of them have special, much more powerful effects, while some of them are very basic actions, such as Attack or Mercenaries/Fireblast.

Each mercenary has an equipment unlocked after it reaches level 30, one unlocked after its 2nd task is completed, and another one unlocked after its 7th task is completed.
