How to unlock hidden potential ?

[Hunt3rXIII]

After doing a quick research, I find out that there are hidden characters that you can unlock. But I'm stuck at the hidden potential is mentioned in the guide.

For example: to get Lynn I must let Karl die after he get all his hidden potential unlock but when I google, I see that he has potential and class potential so which kind of potential I need to unlock here ?

p/s: I already knew about the point system

Class potential are unlocked by leveling up, that's not the one you're looking for.
Hidden Potential is the last Personal Potential.

You unlock it for normal characters by using them in battle (the point system you mention) and THEN going to the "Writing on the Wall" tab.

She'll say she did an interview with a rising star in the squad, and the personel tab will update.

Hidden potential for major characters are unlocked by buying interviews and playing the corresponding sidequest

Thank you very much.

so new paragraphs in the squad member biography (on personel tab) actually indicate, that hidden potential has been unlocked?

Yes.

thanks, that's good to know!
actually, i've tried to get those "potential points" in the first Skirmish even before had an access to Headquaters tab, so had no possibility to check, if i'm doing everything correct.

Every character has 4 personal potential slots. (The top 4 slots) However some do not have 4 slots. One of those slots might be crossed out. Vyse, for example, has a crossed out slot. That means he only gets 3 personal potentials, so don't waste time trying to get the 4th one to appear.

If the slot appears as as a dash, then there's something there to unlock. if it's a diagonal line then it's meant to be empty.

There is a scoring method. Taking out an enemy is worth a point, and rescuing a fallen comrade or taking a base is worth two or three. I don't know exactly how much it takes, but I do know that on the first skirmish, using a scout to kill the last two enemy scouts, and then take the flag, is enough to unlock for that character. On the PS3 version, the game would only unlock for a couple at a time, so you had to go back to the HQ a lot more, and building up prior to your first visit was inadvisable.
To unlock the hidden characters... for Lynn, you must first unlock Karl's hidden potential, then have him fall [rescure him, though], and she'll then unlock. To unlock Emile, you go through the same with Oscar. To get Knute, you need to accumulate 1 million Ducats, so only buy what you want/need. Once he is unlocked, you can spend all you want.
For Audrey, you need ten medals, which takes until you get the Naggiar medal, if you get the splintered horn, or after Ghirlandio if you haven't allowed a character to "die". This is assuming you haven't been experience grinding to the point you kill 1000 enemies before the end of your first play through. Regardless, for Audrey, you need 10 medals.
As for Mussad, you have to win the game for him to unlock.
