• Killing a lot of enemies in mission increases chance to recruit.
  
• Killing too many enemies will cause remaining enemies to flee instead.
  
• There is a little balance between recruiting and forcing enemies to flee. If you absolutely want to recruit someone, leave at least 2 more enemies around.

Min-Max

Reach lvl 25, current max. Recruit 28 lvl enemy~~ Class change to whichever skills you want.

Min-Max Physical Melee/Ranged

First of all you want high STR and High DEX character to start building. Check all enemies and recruit whichever you like.
I'll list down the notable/good passive and active skills for end game.

Active/Passive Skills:

Warrior - War Strike best in slot active skill, cheap and easiest attack skill to get.
Warrior - Flank, Free attack when ally attacks. Free damage


Ranger- Headshot, best single target ranged physical skill high chance to crit. Skip if you want pure melee
Ranger- Volley, aoe ranged. Skip if you want pure melee.

Duelist - Second Strike, Attack again if enemy dodge or block. It is perfect for end game since you can attack again and if your STR is very high you can penetrate block and deal damage twice.
Duelist - Riposte, Attack if you dodge or block melee. Only use this if you have high AGL

Swordsman - Fleet Footwork, Free DEX

Dark Templar- Poison Coating, add poison to your attacks. Triggers on enemy turn, another free damage
Dark Templar - Heart Seeker, active skill, deals bleed if it hits. Goes well with poison

Notable/Defensive Passives

Knight - Vanguard's March, prevent enemy from advancing 8 tiles around user. Okay
Warrior - Flanking Measures good for defense not must.
Warrior - Dual Wield, only if you want to use handgun
Priest - Mana Shield, If you receive Magic damage create shield and consume MP instead. This is quite good since you don't need MP on Physical Melee/Ranged.
Rogue - Hit & Run, questionable. I prefer to move and hit. Not useful end game.
Rogue - Live Burial, prevent enemy revive. Okay
Duelist - Armored Authority, only if you are using lower tier armor
Berserker - Revenge, situational.

Items

Lance is best, it can hit 8 tiles around user, perfect for Flank.
For 2nd hand either use bow or handgun(dual wield)
Armor - Any piece with low WT up to you
DEX accessory best, STR only if your DEX is very high.
Recommended Class is Duelist due to 5 move and good stat coverage.
Use Attacker AI for afk farming.

Class Change, Class Marks, Class Stat Growth

Class Change is not recommended until max level.

All classes have different stat growths. It is not recommended to class change constantly or you will have varying stats aka Jack of all trades, master of none, equally bad at everything.

Horses - Minor Boost to stats, Moderate mount HP
Dragons - Use Dragon Stats, Dragon Attack abilities. High Mount HP.
