Once players place their mercenaries in the inventory they can switch between them by pressing number keys (this can be changed in the options menu). This method allows the players to freely change into different mercenaries during gameplay, but only if the mercenary that is currently in use has 4 gears equipped (this is not to be confused with style items eg. hair).
In addition, "epic gears" are mercenary equipment with an alternative design. They enhance the game by allowing players to equip different gears to the mercenaries they've hired. However, epic weapons can only be equipped to their corresponding mercenary. Epic gears provide not only a change of costume, but a stat boost that varies with each gear. The gear's skill, however, does not change. Premium mercenaries do have epic gears, but they don't look different from the original ones (With the exception of Sol's epic weapon). There are also special gears titled "legendary gears". Unlike epic gears, these gears do not correspond to any existing mercenary. As such, most legendary gears have no alternate design and there are no legendary weapons. Legendary gears may also use multiple skills in in one gear eg. jumpers and some come in multiple designs eg. bunny ears:pink and black)
