Hey Endorph, what's the point in capturing random enemy units? I got like a dark mage and an archer in my group now and I just never really see any reason I would ever field them beyond maybe some sort of ultra gimmicky run.

Why not?


It lets you use classes that your side normally can't have, but beyond that, the only answer is for the fun of it.

generics have basically no purpose, but specific bosses that you can capture can have some interesting skill sets/high bases/good growths, especially on lunatic. The guy you can catch in chapter 13 nohr with 21 defense and all the peg knight skills even though he's an oni is a big one, and the berserker twins from kanna's paralogue actually have the highest growths in the game.

Wow, I just got some HIDDEN BACKSTORY for attacking what seemed like a fairly random boss guy with a specific unit. That's nuts.

On another note, am I just getting lucky or is Saizou's Strength growth nuts? He's INCREDIBLY powerful in my game right now, to the point where I see no reason to ever use Kaze (after I marry him off to someone of course).

That happens in a lot of FE games. It just skipped Awakening because Awakening Is Bad, ayyy.

Saizou's str growth is higher than Kaze's, but it isn't the highest of the ninjas.

Kaze's: 40
Saizou's: 55
Kagerou's: 70

Essentially, Kaze's is very fast and lucky, Saizou is the balanced, sturdy one, and Kagerou has the best offensive stats but is inaccurate and flimsy.

Preeeetty sure considering the context of said backstory. I could've maybe captured the guy, I dunno, but it was definitely not a character in the regular sense.

Birthright:
Kaze will leave in Birthright if you, as in the avatar, don't have an A support with him by chapter 16.

Asugi, Saizou's kid, needs to be talked to before he leaves the map, or else he's gone for good.

Mitama, Azama's kid, needs to have her village visited 3 times.

Yukimura will join a battle after you upgrade a puppet in your castle to level 3.

Izana will join a battle after you upgrade the hot spring in your castle to level 3.

Conquest:

Izana will join a battle after you upgrade the hot spring in your castle to level 3.

Flora will join a battle after you upgrade the magic turret in your castle to level 3.

Shura will join if you spare him. If you execute him, you get some Boots.

Mostly talking with your avatar. Elise does 90% of the recruiting in revelations, lol, but that's about it.

low skill, shurikens aren't that strong so while she will be doing damage she won't be one shotting people, so she needs both of her hits to land, which is a problem with low skill.

the best promotion for kagero is probably master ninja so she can just sword people but on the other hand mechanist lets her use bows which are both accurate and keep her away from danger so there is an interesting choice there

Shura is a pretty good prepromote, and actually has some advantages over Niles combat-wise, but if you reclass Mozu to Archer she can take up the role of your main archer pretty okay, and once people start promoting you might end up with a couple of incidental bow users, so it's a choice.

boots only boost movement by one now, but you get two of them per route. so essentially you get the same boost as before, you just have the option to split it among two units. but just one of them is less valuable now. still good tho.

They've been doing this randomly for a few years now, and it's still stupid, yeah. If the box doesn't say "includes (game)" on it, it's safe to assume it does not come with a game.
