How do I get all my squad profiles?

[メガネコマンサー]

I've completed the main story and somehow the achievement asociated to the title isn't unlocked. How do I do?

There are hidden characters that require certain conditions before joining and one character that can only appear in NG+. You have to play at least 2 full cycles to get it, more if you screw up and miss anyone.

I wonder wheter I should really assign each squad 7 members into battles to unlock all their profiles in profile books. As for hidden character, yes I already know. Oscar must be KIA right? That's damn too cruel tho....

Yes, you have to get 5 Ellet points to unlock the hidden potential with every character and then finish the game - watch credits and, as far as I remember, load into the next NG+ cycle to visit Cordelia. Been a few years since I've done that so can't tell for sure.

It's really easy to farm Skirmish 1 for points like this:
- Deploy all slots (1 point for every char)
- Use 1st char to kill someone (1 point/2 if leader) and get him KO'd by Shocktrooper
- Use another char to save the KO'd (4 points), get him KO'd in turn
- Rinse, repeat until you cycle through everyone.
- Finish the mission (Camp = 2 points)
- Now you have the 1st char with 1-3 points and everyone else should have enough. Redeploy the 1st char and a fresh batch.

Not KIA, just KO'd. You can resque him. I've only ever killed off one character on purpose for the achievement. Again, you'll just get those KO's naturally if you do the farming routine.

Alternatively, since you need to actually clear the entire NG+ and you're OP because the game doesn't scale difficulty (all levels/equipment for enemy is predefined per map), just use different people every mission and if you're missing someone do the farming routine prior to starting 18b.

Great! Thanks for your thoroughly answer.
Oh I see, so tldr you must allow all squad members to get in action and being KO'd (and rescued) in combat...

Yes the main game quite OP for normal difficulties (if all your members already lv 20), but pretty underpowered for hard and expert skirmish tho...
