Mercs and skills

[Mik-K]

K so if i have target master and martial arts master equiped at the same time what are the affects?

[Boom]

How can you have two skills equipped at the same time?

[Mik-K]

So only the skill that is ticked is used? not all 8?

[Tsundere Kanojo]

Only one is active at a time. Not all 8 at the same time.

[JasonRy8]

The skills themselves though:
Target Master: Increases any type of firearm damage by 25% but decreases melee damage
(melee attacks, survival knife, combat knife, stun rod) by 50%.

Martial Arts Master: Increases any type of melee damage (melee attacks, survival knife,
combat knife, stun rod) by 25% but decreases damage of firearms by 50%.

so really I find that the only beneficial battle skill is Power Counter. It deals 25% more damage in a counter but has no drawbacks. :)

Yup, power counter all the way. When it gets full in No Mercy you can't avoid having to counter anyway, and it's 10 seconds bonus for each. And the machete j'avos are pretty easy to counter.

I've used Martial Arts Master with Jake, but the reduced gun damage gets you into trouble easily when things like zombie dogs and bloodshots show up.

It`s one skill at a time. And the only useful skills for Mercenaries are Time Bonus+ and Power counter (And Pharmacist if you just play for skill points or kills farming)

Don't forget Limit Breaker, more points for any kill over a 50 combo.
Time Bonus+ seems somewhat obsolete if you counter a lot, 4 counters = 1 time bonus with Time Bonus+.

When playing No Mercy Duo my usual partner uses Limit Breaker, I use Power Counter. Well, with Jake I sometimes go for Martial Arts Master, but mostly Power Counter.

[Lanzagranadas]

Limit Breaker is useless, in RE6 official guide, it says it only gives you +50 points for each kill after 50 combo, that means: 100 kills x 50 = 5000 points, and 5000 points means nothing on a 150 combo score.

Time Bonus+ is useful mainly in some stages like High Seas Fortress wich has 11 time bonus or Creature Workshop which has 8. In addition, Power Counter doesn`t make you to instant kill J´avo just with a counter like it does with zombies, you still need to land 2 or 3 pistol bullets on normal J`avos before attempt to counter kill them.

Hmm, last time I played it seemed like all the shotgun counters with Coach were 1-hit-kills.

[Nothing.]

Anybody know if Shooting Wild affects scope-based weaponry like the anti-materiel, bolt-action, and semi-automatic sniper rifles? They both still have their reticles when using the scope, but I'm not sure if that means that they don't benefit from the bonus damage regardless.

[Omegaburp]

Dudes do not use the weapon skills is boring quick shot lame. I use counter attack easly counter enemy get 10 sec each kill and easly get up to 150 kill with more points.

[Omegaburp]

Anyone good her who playing on higher combos or events in merc? Add me then.

[JasonRy8]

ok the general concensus is, Time Bonus + and Limit Breaker for J'avo Stages or Time Bonus + and Power Counter for Zombie Stages.

[Mik-K]

Ye im not really liking power counter distracts me from the combos. need more practise me thinks.

Countering becomes a reflex after a while. I'm totally keyed to the J'avos cursewords before attacking, I'm not even paying attention to the button-prompt anymore.
