footknight is safer but more technical to play than the mercenary, which is easier to play and gives you more useful buffs for the team, so up to you imo.

It's easier to be a helpful Merc than it is to be a useful FK.Merc just has to ult and he's already "helping" his team because of thp.FK on the other hand has to work harder to support everyone.

Merc is the strongest Kruber on higher difficulties but Footknight can be usefull if you need tankier frontliner (in terms of stagger not health). Merc is very versatile in QP but if you like playing FK then there is not really any issue with him playing on higher difficulties (including Cata).

Both are fine. Pick a build you enjoy.

From a pure balance standpoint merc always wins. FK is only better with shields which arent great in standard modes. That doesnt mean that you cant play FK. Its just how balance is atm. You can totally play fk even on cata and do stuff.

They are both equally great, i think it boils down to your personal ability and compatibily with their ults and talents.

FK is more fun, and certainly not a weak character. He's my favorite high-ping character due to his tankiness. He can put out a surprising amount of burst damage with the attack speed on ult talent. Hammerknight is brutal if you are good with it :P

Merc is much higher DPS and better team support, but less interesting to play because his structure is so simple.

Hugely depends on whether u have an Ironbreaker / Slayer in your team or not. Imho FK/Slayer or Merc/IB is a nice combo. U got good CC and DPS. Depends a little on the talents / weapons ofc.

in a vacuum merc is stronger without a doubt. in certain teampcomps FK would be a better pick.

Generally prefer merc over FK, simply because he has better team utility.
He can give AS for the team, his ult gives plenty of space and utlity if needed, but most importantly has better DPS than FK.
FK can outlive easily even IB, but tankiness is not really the desired stat on high difficulty but to get rid of things asap where merc is better.
