PoE 2 Mercenary Build

What You Get

• A Mercenary on Oil Grenade Witchhunter, Explosive Grenade Witchhunter, Dodge Roll Autobomber or a Specific Build
• Grenade or main skill gems socketed with their supports
• Passive tree and ascendancy points set for the preset
• Gear at your Build Power tier
• Progress updates and a final screenshot in the order chat

Before We Start

• A Mercenary in a league offered in the calculator
• An ascendancy matching the preset, or none yet
• The character name as written in game

With a PoE 2 Mercenary build boost your crossbow character gets one finished setup: Oil Grenade Witchhunter, Explosive Grenade Witchhunter, the Dodge Roll Autobomber Build or a Specific Build. Skill, supports, tree and gear are tuned together for your Build Power. A booster begins within about 30 minutes, and the whole order takes about 12 hours.

Go through league, build, Build Power and boost method in that order. The Dodge Roll Autobomber Build is preselected. Forbidden Rites runs in Softcore only, while Runes of Aldur and Standard also offer Hardcore.

Price follows the tier: Early-game is the lowest, Uber the highest. The level box under each tier, 70, 80 or 90, cuts the leveling if your Mercenary is already there. Remote Control and Express execution cost extra, and Piloted can add a Stream.

What Is the Mercenary in Path of Exile 2?

The Mercenary is the crossbow class of Path of Exile 2, a Strength and Dexterity fighter who loads bolts and lobs grenades. Witchhunter, Tactician and Gemling Legionnaire are the ascendancies. Grenades are why many players pick the class. They bounce, sit for a moment, then go off, so where you stand matters more than how fast you click.

A grenade setup only works when the skill, its supports and the gear agree. One weak link and the fuse burns out on nothing. The PoE 2 Mercenary build boost lines all of it up in one order.

Three Grenade Builds and an Open Slot

• Dodge Roll Autobomber Build [S-tier]: the default. Named after Dodge Roll, it keeps the Mercenary rolling while the explosions do the work.
• Oil Grenade Witchhunter [S-tier]: oil spreads over the ground, and fire turns it into a burning field.
• Explosive Grenade Witchhunter [S-tier]: one heavy blast per throw, aimed at packs and bosses alike.
• Specific Build: Tactician, Gemling Legionnaire or any setup you describe.

Softcore or Hardcore: Where the Mercenary Boost Runs

The Mercenary boost runs in the league you set: Forbidden Rites Softcore, or Runes of Aldur and Standard in Softcore or Hardcore. Hardcore is missing only for Forbidden Rites.

Build Power sets how far the gear goes, from Early-game for the first maps up to Uber. If your Mercenary already sits at 70, 80 or 90, the level box under the tier removes the leveling. A low character can go through PoE 2 leveling first.

What to Send Before You Buy the Mercenary Build

Before you buy, check the character name and the ascendancy. Send the name exactly as the game shows it. If your Mercenary already took an ascendancy, pick a preset on that path or use Specific Build.

After payment, the best-rated booster takes the order and starts within about 30 minutes. You choose Self Play, Piloted or Remote Control. The full Mercenary takes around 12 hours, and a screenshot of the result arrives in the order chat.

Good to know: both Witchhunter presets share one ascendancy. Swapping later between Oil and Explosive Grenade means a passive respec and some gear, not a new character.
