How to i get more templars/reapers/skirmishers?

[Deathjester]

I still only have 1 of each, how do i recruit more of them? The reaper's banish is an absolute killing machine when it comes to facing alien rulers.

through the resistance ring, you need high influence iirc, but if you get one killed, a recruit op will spawn on the next supply cycle

Chances to get a second reaper pretty early, by midgame or a bit after midgame are higher if you do the guerila ops to track them down pretty fast. I think once you did two of those ops, meaning you have found the chosen stronghold but still need one more mission to find a way in....I think thats when the recruit reaper misions become availalbe.

Could be wrong and you need all three missions but I think you only need 2 missions. Locate the stronghold and you can get a second reaper. Youll get a second reaper pretty late though anyway. By the time you could recruit one your other classes will be so powerful that you dont even need a reaper in a mission that desperately anymore.

Not that reapers suck or arent worth a slot in an endgame squat.

Not at all. Reapers are always useful.

You can get a recruitment mission to get a second one of the faction you started the game with. The others won't give you a recruitment mission while you have one.
Note, however, that this still does allow for multiples, just it's harder to get them. If they captured your soldier it doesn't count that against you, so you can rescue them to get multiples, and if the recruitment op is being performed when the month ends (and you get new ops) then it can give you a second op to recruit one because you don't have the soldier yet.
