AT your lvl, what u should be thinking about is mostly your formation for pvp/pve, what mercs to get, and what skills to set.

FOr your questions:
1 -What mercs to get from lvl 10-50
- All mercs are useful. IT just depends on what type of formation your going to use. -Stun,AOE,DMF,Spike, etc.

2. -A good pvp formation.
-ID wait for LOcksley to anwser this one but whatever....
LvL 40-60



LvL 40-60, AOE and STun is usually everything....


LvL 100 and Beyond,




Minstrel

PRetty good formation.....Also my current formation too



STaffs usually go for anything when it comes to pve



Hope i helped

Those are names you give to different types of formations....


STun, -

THis is most common type of formation.
Example:





THe idea of a stun formation is well......to STUN lol. THey consist of GUns, Axe, and Cannon mercs. When u reach ur lvl 30-50s or so u will learn what it is to actually stun. (theres even a guide in this website about stunning from a guy named Flabble.)

AOE,-

AOE = Area of Effect. VEry powerful formation, but also has its weaknesses.
Example:





- The idea is to damage all of the enemies's mercs in one shot.
MOves that are AOE
-Evanscent Scud
- Flame Blow
- Deep Insight
- Mana Trap
- Smoke Bomb
- Beast Summon
- Meteor Strike
(Staff mains are the best when it comes to handling AOE formations, since they themselves have the strongest AOE attack, Scud, and Flame Blow)



- DMF,-
Thats stands for DoubelMonkFormation. So far, its currently the most powerful form when it comes to pvp. (in my book that is....)

Example....





The rest im too lazy to explain......hopefully someone in-game will explain everything else to ya

haha, wait for me to answer. I think you did fine, rony ^ ^

anyway, I'll cover spike, and snipe builds since rony was lazy to cover them.

Just note, build that can only do ONE thing generally sucks. most successful builds are hybrids, combining either stun-snipe, stun-DMF, stun-Aoe etc. stun is easily one of the worst things to happen (worse than silence, freeze etc), so stun pressure is one of the favourite things to include along with another tactic.

spike - massive single target damage to the frontrow. in short, a frontline breaker. allows you to freeze midline asap, and may sometimes sport archer to do a mana seal-silence tandem to permanently shut down the backline of healers.





this build incorporates spike with spartan and viking, as well as some snipe capabilities with archer and prophet. If main is staff (like you are), one can even remove the oracle to include a 2nd monk or rearrange a bit to accommodate minstrel (like Rony has with his current build).

replacing archer and prophet with cannoneer and inventor makes it into a spike/stun build.

DMF + Punisher = Never gonna get 3+ mercs Stunned again. Seriously. If they do, they deserve a congratulatory "epic fail" message that flashes across their screen.
PLEASE READ! THANK YOU!
