Bazaar.pngThe Unique Mercenaries are the mercenaries with their name in orange letters when encountered in the shop or, more frequently, in the bazaar.

They stand out with their unique name, description and usually have three or four Trait Learnable.png Traits instead of two. They are mostly tier 3 or tier 4 units. The extra traits, which are not class-dependent, are permanent, with the exception being the learnable traits. All unique mercenaries, with some exceptions, start with the Mercenary.png Mercenary traits and thus take more Capacity at the start. Unlike most unique characters, their class is changeable, thus if the unique traits are desired for a different class, it can be done.

Stats

The mercenaries also tend to have various stat bonuses. The table below shows a rough gauge on what these look like (rounded to the nearest 5), comparing the Unique Mercenaries in question with the Light Light Affinity, against other standard conscripts in the same class with the same light affinity, in order to remove any bias the affinities would otherwise provide, in regards to bonuses and maluses applied to the stats.

Thus to further clarify the table, take the example below: The unique mercenary Sir Rolante has a number of 85 for hitpoints. This means that the unit has bonus of 85 hitpoints, compared to the same Knight, of the equal Level and the Light affinity.

The same applies to maluses, in this example the Samurai General Bizen. He has -10 score in skill and thus will be -10 points lower in skill, compared to an equal level samurai, also with the Light affinity.
