1. Don't continually spam your primary fire when your standing next to an enemy. They WILL attack you and deal a good chunk of your health bar over time. You should only use your primary attack when waiting for your other skills to go off cooldown. Weave it in between your skills, but it shouldnt be your bread and butter.

2. Your utility and special have i-frames, which are amazing for avoiding damage from large crowds, bosses, or the like. Also, your utility is great for crowd control.

3. You can get chunked quickly when in a crowd. Keep an eye on your health bar and be ready to dash out of there if need be.

4. Whirlwind can be used to deal damage to enemies below you as well as hovering out of reach of melee enemies.

5.  Your secondary and special are amazing with on-hit effects. Prioritize items that take advantage of that, like the Leeching seed for quick healing with your special and things like the ATG and the Ukulele.

6. git gud lmao!!!!

I'm not a very experienced merc but i think these strategies and tips are very helpful and can keep you alive when you need it most.
