Strategy[]
Depending on the mission type, you may or may not choose to utilise the mercenary camp.
Mercenaries are generally not worth buying in ranged or armoured missions that go for 10 rounds due to the fact that they do not last very long in these circumstances due to the high attack capacity of enemy bugs.
If you have the junk and gold gems then they may be a worthwhile investment: buy out the mercenary camp and combine it with 1 armory fully upgraded + 1 slime quarters fully upgraded and 2 fire cracker turrets. You could also use 3 or 4 bug banners (since their buffs multiply) to buff your army beyond reason.
In assassination missions mercenaries are very useful as they last a significantly longer time due to the decreased amount of bugs present on the field. In siege bug missions mercenaries are also a worthwhile investment due to the decreased attack capacity of enemy bugs.
An issue arising from mercenary/allied bugs is that the slower ones tend to congregate in a large group and move together. This may be a problem as many of them could me wiped out with a single AOE attack. (e.g slug puddle) On certain fields your slower allied bugs will congregate in certain areas, generally the areas where the enemy bugs tend to spawn most.
