These cost around 2k-2,5k and are those of higher quality. Some have invincibility against a certain type of damage, some have super ultimate abilities, and some are straight up nuts.
Mirror Knight
A dude who decided to time travel from about 2295's, trying to explore the ancient world, eat ancient food and date ancient girls. Except that he ended up in a war between us and Talon. Mirrors completely reflect any laser or electromagnetic based attacks, and he wields a lightsaber and a scary yet extremely accurate Pulsator.
Has 140 HP and 22 damage.
Passive - Mirror Armor. Has 6969696969696969resistance, which cannot be reduced below 75% it's value through any means. Electrical attacks have 25% chance to be reflected into the attacker.

Ultimate - Blade Discharge 20% charge/turn. Discharges 2x attack damage to 5 enemies. Then weakens himself by 50% for 1 turn.
Elemental Juggernaught
Imagine a Specialist that applies status effects on autos. Then imagine a beefy Juggernaught with a high impact shotgun. Now, due to sheer capability of experimentation with equipment, this guy has the benefit of both. Deals 18 damage.
Passive: Status Application - attacks apply random negative status effects, and Elemental Juggernaught becomes immune only to them afterwards.
Wrath: A "basic attack" that is shot to 5 different enemies(for 0,8x ATK each) and applies basic attack effects and can crit. CD: 4 turns.

Flamethrower Trooper
His job is to ignite as many as possible. And deal A LOT of damage. Unlike his cold brother, he doesn't pack many effects, but "death is the best CC". No matter how much armor you have, or how much evasion you have, or whatever, you will just turn into ash that feeds the local plants.
Passive - Flamethrower: basic attacks ignite enemies for 360% ATK over 3 turns.
Passive - Hazardous Fire: getting attacked deals damage to an attacker(100% ATK) and has a chance to set them on fire.

Freezethrower Trooper
Unlike his hot brother, doesn't have that monstrous damage, but instead his freezethrower will freeze enemies within seconds. And after shattering the enemies, there's usually no way back to life. In 1v1 scenarios this guy is pretty good at locking enemy down, and in huge battles he'd go for highest ATK enemies.
Passive - Freezethrower: basic attacks freeze enemies for 1 turn.
Passive - Stun Resist: 90% chance to resist a stun, freeze, immobilize or other disabling effect.
Nitrogen Bomb: deals 180% ATK to 2 different enemies and freezes them for 2 turns. 4 turn CD.

Passive - Vantage Point: Not being attacked doubles ATK(and all ATK scaling abilities subsequently)
Passive - Conduit: increases received healing by 200%, crit by 20% and accuracy by 200%.

The Grenadiers fill the role of dealing explosive damage to multiple enemies with their autos and abilities, and also piercing armor and covers. Trained similiarly to but differently from Talon grenadiers, they possess several unique abilities that will make them essential for certain tasks.
Passive: Explosive Payload - attacks and abilities deal 50% splash damage to 2-3 enemies.
Exploding Sawblade - a special exploding sawblade is fired that ignores 50% explosive resistance and deals damage equal to 250% attack damage, and will deal damage after armor(armor still gets damaged by the ability as additional damage if present). CD: 2 turns.
Burrowing Shredder - a special projectile that destroys cover and deals double damage to covered target if cover is successfully destroyed. Deals 300% attack damage. CD: 4 turns.
Cluster Bomb - Deals 200% attack damage to 3 enemies, and next turn deals 40% damage to all enemies. CD: 5 turns.
Chemtech Mercenary:
Chemtech's primary purpose is to smoke all these dodgy assassins out. After they were hit, the poison weakens them and kills them within several turns. In fact, they are the driving force behind all these Hollywood zombie films. Note: poisons from different abilities can stack
Passive: Toxic Shot - Basic attacks and abilities have greatly increased accuracy, and 25% chance to poison the enemy for total of 120% attack damage(+300% evasion) over 3 turns.

Zombie: Not really a mercenary, but on our side. Resurrected by Chemtech's virus. Also, 100% dead and eating Talon's brains. Especially their assassins'. HP: 500% Chemtech's attack damage. Damage: 20% Chemtech's attack damage. Passive: Vampiric Charge - attacks have 40% lifesteal. Passive: Biohazard Carrier - attacks have 25% chance to infect the enemy with zombie virus and cause them to ressurect upon death as more Zombies. Passive: Cannibalistic Desire - automatically reveals all hidden enemies who have HP lower than 200% their HP Active: Berserk - Increases accuracy by 10x and deals 50% extra damage if enemy evasion is higher than attacker's for a turn. CD: 4 turns.
Mercenary Arcanist:
Out of ALL the mercenaries that are elemental, this is probably the toughest mercenary due to incredibly potent protective abilities. While it deals weak damage and doesn't have much health, it has high resistances and adaptive armor, and will quickly become a nightmare to a single type of damage enemies. It's unconventional damage and control abilities are what makes him great in conjunction with higher damage mercenaries. However, he has to pay with his long cooldowns for such power.
Passive: Adaptive Cycle - doubles resistance to the last attack that hit the Arcanist.
Decay - Deals 100%(+10% target's HP) attack damage over 3 turns, cutting incoming healing down by 70%. CD: 4 turns.

I want to test its vision and ability to show any kind of moods - imprison 4 villagers - one in emerald cage, another in golden, third behind iron bars and 4th between TNT and cacti walls. What are their reactions? Also I would like to put them in huge windowless building and wonder will they just jump out of their windows or not if you spawn a zombie?
Minecraft is Minecraft, not survival. Minecraft means craft/biuld ANYTHING. You have wide(but still narrow) selection here what you can do. Participate in team battles with Iron Golems, slay spiders, heal mobs, trade, build... And finally there is creative mode. It just IS NOT possible to stand for sandbox survival.
