OK basically this is my discovery about the actual numbers of The "limited units". Mostly I'm talking about Black Knights, Saturos, and to a lesser extent Angel Knights. |
Basically I started my research because of a post about favorite units. Which I posted mine of 5 Black Knights led by Carth. I was questioned how I got the 5 for the unit. Basically I was asked because you can only make 3 Black Knights at a time, as only 3 Valiant Mantles are available. IF, you get Carth that makes a total of 4. So how did I get my 5th you ask? Why I used the item "Love and Peace". This item will allow you to persuade an enemy unit to join your battalion if they are not the unit leader, or the last character in a unit.
So I got to thinking, how many can I actually recruit in this manner? Am I actually as restricted as previously thought? Which also led me to question how many Saturos could actually be gotten. I was curious to this as they are ONLY encountered through enemy units. They do not have any neutral encounters. So that means that they are essentially an even rarer unit option. Now last but not least also was curious about Angel Knights, even though they are essentially unlimited because they can be made. It's just extremely difficult to do. This is why most people recruit them with "Love and Peace". |
Love and Peace Locations: Basically 5 through normal play, but if your willing to grind you get the option at scene 32. And i do mean grind. It is a possible drop from a random encounter with a Gorgon. So now with your seemingly limitless supply of the fantastic "Love and Peace", the question becomes how many of these once rare classes can you get? I will now break it down for each class. |
Black Knights in the game you encounter that aren't leaders: |
Saturos you encounter that aren't Leaders: Angel Knights you encounter that aren't Leaders: |
Sadly you only get 2 L&P, before you are able to farm for them Which will ultimately reduce the availability of whichever class you don't choose with your initial two L&P by 2 respectively. Which according to the numbers, shows it is ultimately better to use them on the black knights since they are the most restricted. Sadly I have to end the faq on a bad note. Regardless of how much you grind, the L&P is not guaranteed to win over an enemy. This is where your luck comes in to factor. Things like killing the unit leader seems to help as it lowers the units morale. Best of luck to you on your endeavors should you choose to grind it out for this awesome possibility.
