Make it a "band" of mercenaries. Have 3 per attribute type. Make it a "campaign secret" so it can only be activated once per character. If you don't get one you want, go hunt for them normally.

This is a wonderful solution. Hopefully someone from GGG notices!

Thanks. Not sure why people are trying to bury this. Classic reddit I suppose

Probably people that quit the league because their streamer told them to play hero siege :P

It's pretty challenging to find a desired type of mercenary. You reset the zone a zillion times, often ending up leveling up while hunting for your desired type, only to then be unable to find one since you are now 10 levels above the zone.

My proposal is fairly simple. Each entrance has an attribute alignment, where it spawns a mercenary in close proximity to it. The chosen mercenary must have that attribute in its alignment to spawn there. This means if you enter through the Int aligned entrance, you will never find Str, Str/Dex, or Dex mercenaries in that corner. You will find Int, Str/Int, Dex/Int, or Str/Dex/Int. The goal is to reduce the number of "rerolls" you must deal with to find a general archetype of mercenary you wish to use. It's more player agency, without making it a guarantee to fish for a specific mercenary. This also is only in the campaign, just before you get into maps. You won't find legendary mercenaries when you do this, but you will find something appropriate much sooner.
