After watching a video about why recruiting Takumi in Conquest would be awesome (Especially if he had a certain overpowered enemy-only/online-only DLC skill that lets him counter at close range) and making this video and mod, I thought about it some more.
Out of all the characters exclusive to Birthright or Revelations, which ones would be the most interesting to recruit in Conquest, and when and why? Assume supports are enabled for these characters in Conquest, but without support dialogue changes to reflect the story path. And Hoshidan stores are unlocked in Conquest too.
Would recruiting a Samurai like Hana or Ryoma with a katana in their inventory really affect your early game strategy? Would Rinkah get any action with Charlotte on the table? Any Mage, Ninja, Spear Fighter, Flier, or anyone else, would any of them be worth it? Would Ryoma be able to sweep the game? Would Ryoma be able to help you 1 turn kill Conquest’s Endgame if he shows up on the final map and joins you and upgrades your Yato with a brief cutscene? Are any of the Hoshidan kids or Marriage Options even that good when Nohrians are on the table?
