This is a feature that was recently introduced in the 1.21 patch through which players can hire heroes from friends and guild members to help assist in completing stages from campaign, kings tower, Esperia towers and also the new Lost Sigils event. This feature is unlocked once stage 6-40 from campaign is completed. Heroes that are put up for hiring are legendary or higher ascension tiers and can be used only once in each format during the span of one week. Only exception to this is the new Lost Sigils Event where mercenaries can be used unlimited number of times to collect factional Sigils. Also to note players who have been inactive for over a week their heroes can’t be used as assists.
