All Unique Mercenaries

By Horthas

A list of all unique mercenaries that can be hired.

It seems that when you start a chapter it rolls once for a unique character. If you already have that character, it rolls a rare instead. The bazaar shops will often have a unique (and a dragon) if any uniques are still available, though that may not be true for the first bazaar on chapter 3.

Lord Carnith

The unique Zweihander isn't particularly special, but he does start as Loyal instead of as a Mercenary.

Slayer Alphonse

Alphonse has an absurd strength score (100+ when I hired him early in the campaign). Given his theme, I'd like to switch him to a Greatbow with a Dragonslayer, Ataraxia, and Fang of Duros and let him solo dragons.

General Bizen

Straightforward, a good early hire.

Warlord Tatar

Fairly average.

Zeteni the Undying

The name isn't wrong, three defensive traits by default.

Sir Rolante

Cheap, but questionable. Why is he water affinity? Most generic knights will outperform him. You also already have a knight captain in Baramas.

Lady Clarimonde

Fantastic stats and traits. She's a tank, healer, and a bit of damage.

Calvor the Tireless

I like rangers, but I don't think this guy adds anything special to the table.

Cutthroat Klok

Great traits for an assassin, but his insane magic stat begs to be used for something.

Deadeye Domak

A good archer, it might be worth switching him to an assassin.

Teriq the Wicked

Reasonably good traits to start.

Matriarch Rosalie

If you get her early she's fantastic, otherwise she sort of falls in line with any other templar.

Centhos the Muse

Starts as an acolyte. Since there is no unique fire mage, I often make him a fire mage. He doesn't start with treasure hunter (I've added that here, please ignore). Since his affinity is light, he's a good group leader.

Konrad the Cold

Excellent mage with Arcane Speed by default.

The Outcast

That magic stat is higher than any other unit I've seen. Also starts with the lowest leadership score I've seen (12 at level 12).

Kaffi the Curious

Arcane Barrier was added here. She only starts with Lucky and Unassuming. Still a crazy high magic value.

Lt. Archibald

Terrible stats, but what does it matter for a dragoon?

Cloudrender Athelis

Expensive, ~12000. But one of the only flying units you can access without going all the way up the left side of the tech tree. Huge strength. Low magic. Respectable traits. Obviously one of the best mercenaries, but you pay for it.

Renalyn Steelheart

Her skill stat is extremely high. Her HP doesn't really fit the front line. I would give her traits that benefit from crits, because she should crit all the time.

Have there been new special characters added since this was last updated in 2022?

Scars 27 Nov, 2024 @ 2:17pm

What army should I make with General Bizen?

Zaen 8 Oct, 2024 @ 5:57pm

Cutthroat Klok with St. Teresa's Tiara is hilarious FYI XD

renalyn has thicc thighs.

Guile is an incredible trait for a Zweihander

Xyranius 12 Nov, 2023 @ 8:59pm

The 1.10 Update and DLC have added several new ones.

Bulwark Bartolo (Arbalest)
Sato the Cautious (Oracle)
Volkan the Grave (Necromancer)
Aggarak the Returned (Dark Mage)
Granis, the Lightbringer (Champion)
Guy Verre Kanon (Zweihander)
Calden Blackwell (Field Cannon)

I've recently found another unique unit: Granis, The Lightbringer. He's a Champion who comes with the traits: Challenger, Warrior's Hubris, Smite, & Guardian. And he boasts some very respectable stats that make him great at soaking hits and then dishing out a ton of damage in return.

Seens really good

Dark boosts STR as well. He's all-in on the backstab damage.
