How to get
Getting The Mercenaries ability requires you to complete Skaidev’s quest in Alabasta. You can find this NPC in the far left corner of the town by going up the stairs. Once you interact with him, the quest starts and you are tasked with collecting the following items:
- Chagrin’ Targe
- Eyelander
- Flamethrower
- Grenade Launcher
- Knife
- Medic Equipment
- Rocket Launcher
These items have a chance to drop by opening chests, which are abundant in the experience. After collecting these weapons, go to the Floating Village for the boss fight against the Spy. The Spy spawns every 20 minutes in the very far left corner of the town.
Simply wait for him to appear and take him down. For the quest to count, you only need to do 10% of his total HP bar; you may team up with other players to finish off the boss. After that, go back to Skaidev and interact with the NPC to receive the coveted ability.
Moveset
The Mercenaries have two Passive abilities: Critical Hits and Meet the Team. Critical hits boosts your crit chance by 10%, allowing you to perform a critical strike that does 2.5x the damage. Note that this is separate from the regular critical hit chance, activating independently of them.
