If you were to play with the Soldiers of Fortune variant, what would be your go to's for Invincible Army? No brainer McMurder or something more interesting?
How about Saito Togan for some TO smoke and regular order. Or, Yuan Yuan for some cheap 8 point smoke grenades?
There's already been a little thread on the subject, here's the link: https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/soldier-of-fortune-with-ia.29042/ edit: What you want to get from the mercs might vary depending of the mission line-up or your local meta, but it's a good opportunity to load up on smokes/white noise and unhackable troops.
Laxmee/Uhahu and Saito in my opinion. Saito will do what Hulang or Zhencha are meant to do while HD+ will give a vital advantage against MSV AROs for your Zuyong Fireteam - don't forget to bring a Panggolin in the team for better coverage. Uhahu is cheaper and harder to kill, Laxmee comes with a potentially life saving Minelayered Cybermine for extra zone protection and Daoying hiding. Saito ticks so many boxes for IA, it's insane...
I fee very dumb for forgetting Saito. Whoops. And I just won the LE model at a tournament last weekend!

I didn't realized they added a lot of mercs to soldiers of fortune! It would be hard for me not to take a Liberto. I love them in Dahshat! Speaking of which I consider McMurough to be a non-hackable HI. What I wish the Hulang to be!
