The Mercenary trait in TFT Set Six is similar to loot traits of the past with a few new changes. Loot is added to a chest on the player’s bench and can only be cracked open with a win. The more losses a player takes, the more loot a player can earn. And the more Set Six units on the battlefield with the Mercenary trait will also increase the odds of better loot. 

Loot is determined by a die roll. If a player low-rolls a die they can’t low-roll again. High-rolls are increased by five percent for every round into your high-roll. All loot put in the chest is visible during gameplay. Each of the loss tables for Mercenary was revealed by Mortdog during the Gizmos & Gadgets Patch 11.22 Rundown.   

Here are the Mercenary tables for TFT Set Six:

Each table is based on the number of losses. To determine the loot from five Mercenary, add three losses to know what table your loot will come from. Four losses with five Mercenary, for example, will pull from the seven-loss table. Mercenary seven has its own table. For every win with seven Mercenary, a gold die is rolled that contains one of eight rewards. 

Each loss table has names like fish, bag, sword, and coin. These names are the symbols rolled via the dice after a loss and will appear within their chest, along with the total loot acquired. Tables only go up to 12 losses and low-rolls end at the 10-loss table.
