I hadn’t played Hearthstone in a couple years, and I tried Mercenaries to get the Sarge mount in WoW.
I was confused about what was determining the turn order of my mercs. After watching your video, I understand now that it is the “speed” of the attack. I still don’t understand what the “speed” of the attack affects; health and attack are the only values I recall from when I last played Hearthstone.
At any rate, the video was helpful because the whole game concept was pretty confusing to me. The game starts off in the tutorial mode and it’s hard to lose with Valeera prompting exactly what to choose and where to click, but I wasn’t really sure what was going on.
Biggest tip for a new (or returning player) is: in regular Hearthstone you decide each turn which character/card to play, and in Mercenaries you set up your team at the beginning of the match and then the match autoplays based on which abilities you selected.

It just affects which abilities play first, not much else. If you and your opponent have the same speed (eg: 4), then it is random chance which ability plays out first.
I am glad to hear that my video was helpful, I also released a follow up video on my progress (collecting all the mercs F2P etc)
