Might & Magic X: Legacy Mercenary Class Profile

Now that the Mercenary is officially playable in the game, Limbic Entertainment has cranked out a profile of the diversified and melee combat-oriented class. A bit of what to expect:
THE WINDSWORD

THE ADVANCED CLASS OF THE MERCENARY

Adventurers who have proven both their value and valour in combat can join the elite mercenary companies known as the Windswords. Under the tutelage of Ylath, the Dragon of Air, they take a solemn vow and become honor bound to their chosen companions in war and fortune, never turning their back on them.

THE WINDSWORD'S PASSIVE ABILITY: (PERFECT STRIKE)

When the Windsword performs a melee attack against an enemy who is at full health, the first strike cannot be blocked or evaded and is always a critical hit.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE A MERCENARY IN YOUR PARTY?

Mercenaries belong to the best melee damage dealers for a start. Apart from that, they honor their profession by offering you to play whatever role you would like them to.
