Hey guys I was wandering if it would be better to just use super soldiers than using them with mercs.

My reason is that supers give alot more strength and die alot less. If I have a big strike and started farming, then if I got rid of my ATT mercs and changed them with supers I would have a lot more ATT and less would die.

Can someone help me.

Well, I think it's better to lose, say, 200k mercs than 100k supers... so mercs are good as meatshields of sorts for your supers.

You have to go to close at 20% over their defense then these mercenary's will take for the most part damage otherwise don't worry use supers they are tougher.Someone can correct me if i am wrong. thanks.

i think merc dont do anything after a 1:1 ratio with supers to mercs

Well look at it this way. Say you want to achieve a strike of hrm.. 1tril. That equals roughly 5mil supers. However, you can achieve the SAME strike using 3mil supers and mercs. That is why mercs are better, they allow you to achieve the same strike with less supers, thus reducing your overall losses, making farming/massing/whatever more profitable. Sure you lose alot of mercs.. but mercs are basically free, so who cares?

interesting way to do it
