I haven't played in a hot minute and from my memory, these hirelings didn't feel nearly as common. I never really saw them as like *rare* or anything, they're just kinda there, but now it really feels like they make up most of the roster a good chunk of the time.

While I do not mind that for the most part, as running into a stage with like 8 trickys is funny, and my sample size here is somewhat small (10 50 hireling roster refreshes), and maybe I'm just getting incredibly unlucky. But, on average my rosters were around 30 special hirelings to 20 regular hirelings, which definitely tightens the roster for runs where I don't wanna grab any special hirelings at all.

one of my rosters straight up had eight hanks :sob:
idk how the game prioritizes/shuffles hirelings for the roster myself, but good lord they are everywhere
