All mercenaries in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred and best option

Useful during battles.

With the release of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC, players can hire Mercenaries during their travels, giving you some much-needed support when playing alone. In this article we will discuss all the Mercenaries in Diablo 4 and which one is the best.

Mercenaries in Diablo 4 are essentially non-playable characters with a specific set of skills and skill trees that help you in combat and other aspects in Sanctuary. There are several Mercenaries to choose from, but not all will be a good fit for your character.

Some Mercenaries fit well with Necromancer and Barbarian, while others fit well with Rogue or the newly introduced Spiritborn class.

Complete their missions in Nahantu and you can recruit two Mercenaries: one will be a Primary Mercenary, while the other will be a Secondary Mercenary or Reinforcements.

To recruit them, follow the steps in the table below:

MERCENARY HOW TO RECRUIT
Aldkin Complete the quest ‘A Nameless Mystery’ in Nahantu
Raheir Complete the quest ‘The hand remembers the knife’ in Nahantu. He will be the first mercenary you can hire.
Subo Complete the quest ‘A Feather on the Scale’ in Nahantu
Varyana Complete the quest ‘Slayer’s Retribution’ in Nahantu

Best Mercenary in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred

The best mercenary in Diablo 4 comes down to your build and playstyle.

If you’re a solo player, Raheir can be a good choice as his barrier ability can reduce incoming attacks and increase armor and defense buffs. This will make it act as a shield from the front and absorb all attacks, giving you room to deal damage from behind.
