Mercenaries are gold-hired troops from a Merc-Camp unlocked in TH 7 and requires 500,000 gold to build,and the cost of upgarde is 600,000,increasing by 100,000 each upgrade.They are hired instantly,tend to be powerfull,and yet only a maximum of 100 Mercs you can hire every 24 hrs.They will prove handy when you drain most or all of your elixir in resaerch and upgrades.They have only have 3 levels,each one giving graphic changes.They are expensive though,so do not make them the backbone of your army.Your coffers will just be wiped out.
