Endari Mercenary Faction

Endari is the sixth mercenary faction revealed for ZeroSpace Steam Early Access, joining Marran, Valkaru, Dread Raiders, Koru Kingdom, Aztec Cultists, and Void Mages in the modular loadout system. Endari specializes in void manipulation —stealth approaches, flanking windows, and vision denial that punish armies clumped around control towers without detection.

Unlike main factions, Endari occupies only the mercenary slot in your triple loadout (main faction + mercenary + hero). You still produce Protectorate infantry, Grell swarms, Xol fusion units, or Legion armor from your primary roster; Endari adds invisible or phased units that appear where opponents forgot to scout. Read the full mercenaries overview for how all six groups interact.

Endari debuted in pre-launch roadmaps alongside the playable Xol fourth faction. At EA launch on July 20, 2026, Endari is fully selectable in campaign, skirmish, co-op, and Galactic War —ranked players should expect Endari-heavy flanks during Season Zero's first week as stealth metas develop.

Endari rewards players who scout first and strike from blind angles. Core strengths include:

• Stealth flanks — Bypass fortified chokepoints when enemies skip detection mercenaries or scout units.
• Vision punishment — Weather events on ice maps like Frozen Watch amplify Endari value when sight ranges shrink.
• Tower fight chaos — Clustered armies around neutral objectives become vulnerable to simultaneous front-line pressure and Endari rear attacks.

Weaknesses are equally clear: Endari underperforms when opponents bring detection-heavy mercenaries (Void Mages reveal clusters) or maintain spread formations. Low-MMR skirmish without coordination can leave Endari units isolated —pair with a hero who supplies frontline meatshields such as Hel or Marran tanks.

Mirror hero vision synergizes strongly with Endari on the Galactic War map, enabling information-heavy alliances to commit flanks only when enemy cooldowns are down. Test Endari + Mirror combinations in the loadout builder before ranked queues.

Protectorate + Endari + Mirror — Information control PvP pick rated A-tier on the PvP meta list. Protectorate supplies steady infantry while Endari executes picks; Mirror prevents blind commits.

Xol + Endari + Mirror — High-skill fusion flank comp for experienced players. Fusion elites hold the front while Endari deletes overextended support casters. Requires execution —listed A-tier overall, S-tier in top MMR.

Legion + Endari — Less common because Legion prefers slow sieges, but Endari breaks stalemates when ritual or armor lines stall. Add Koru sustain if fights extend past stealth windows.

Galactic War alliances assign Endari players to recon flank roles —see the Galactic War beginner guide for alliance coordination. Eden Accord lines benefit from Endari harassment on open expansion layouts; Obsidian Order uses Endari less on pure choke strongholds unless weather modifiers apply.

To beat Endari: bring detection, spread formations before tower fights, and never chase stealth units into un-scouted fog. Void Mages, dedicated scout heroes, and mercenary recon tools listed on mercenary unit pages hard-counter blind Endari all-ins.

Endari sits in B-tier general loadouts and A-tier vision/flank variants on current Early Access tier lists —stronger as player skill rises. Expect rapid tier movement during Season Zero (July 20–August 2, 2026) as Starlance Studios tunes stealth duration and detection ranges based on launch-week data.

After each balance patch, revisit Galactic War picks and this page. Endari players should also watch First Contact Invitational streams —pros testing stealth mercenaries often preview nerfs or buffs before patch notes drop.
