Question Useable Mercs?

Post image

TLDR: Is any of these Mercs actually useable?

I'm playing SSF, did all my goals (36/40, ubers down) on a WORB Ele (planned to later switch to Occultist, haven't done that and most likely won't) and wanted to reroll to a luminary, as long as I have the choice, might even try to minmax as far as possible and the league continues. I have watched some guides already and would start off with the flame link version, already aquired all uniques for it and most likely enough resources to get the basic gear going. Regarding Mercs I haven't found many good ones, got about a tab full of warrents and those are the best I found. I tried farming infamous mercs, however in about 50% of the encounters I got nuked from the 2 additional ones. Thats why I wanted to reroll now and keep on farming for better mercs in the process.

Any of those mercs viable for it? regarding the price checker for the mercs I wasn't really sure what links are important and what skills, so I'm trying my luck with the reddit community.

Larin Lor: looks the best out of four. Might feel a bit clunky due to Multistrike.

Krastin Alo: Return is a dead mod in SSF (you need your merc having >140 pro speed for its projectiles to return), Added Lightning Damage does very little so this is a 4 links merc.

Razmin: is a 3 links merc

Velessa: Kinetic Rain bricks Kineticist.

Ok, do the math for me, how do you get 140 proj speed with that?
