Hi, I've experienced something that seems like a bug. After boosting Haitaka (level 16 early promotion to lance master to reclass into fark flyer, get to level 5 and reclass to lance master for seal speed, given him the midori paralogue's herb for +1 everywhere and elite skill then updates Haitaka level 6 lance master in the logbook), I've loaded another save file and even with gold, I couldn't even try to recruit any einherjar/prisoner unit. I was at chapter 15 revelations (I also boosted Haitaka on rev chapter 10 so it was possible) and I tried to diminish my number of units by killing Sakura's sky knight, but I still couldn't recruit anyone. Is it normal or it a bug?

So I'm replaying Conquest on Hard mode, and this time around decided to use Haitaka. I didn't last time, and I've seen all the memes about him, so why not? What I didn't realize was that this was going to be the beginning of something beautiful. In Chapter 10, Haitaka did not need to Rally Defense; he choked the main ingress point by himself with a Dual Naginata. Chapter goddamn 10. In Chapter 11, I split my squad in half to take on each path. Haitaka led the charge in the west half, and even though he was supported by Niles, Effie, Azura, and Silas, none of them mattered much; Haitaka survived the Ninja Lunge Conga Line with no issue, killing all of them then advancing into the Samurai Room of Doom and just taking all their hits with no issue while one-shotting them with a Subaki's Pike, while my other half of the army struggled to get past Rinkah and Azama's chambers. He then faced off against Hinoka and defeated her. In Chapter 12, Haitaka was backed up by Mozu, who was now a Dread Fighter. She was pretty tough now, and a good sidekick, softening enemies with shuriken for Haitaka to then wipe out, or Haitaka rallying her Defense so she can take on the Ninja squad and Saizo. Then we got to the end of the map, and Defense Daddy squared off against Lobster Lord one-on-one. He declawed the lobster in two rounds of combat. Azura DID sing for him, and therefore was close enough to support him in battle for round two, but it didn't make a difference because Haitaka dodged Ryoma's Vantage strike and finished him off neatly. Who needs to Rally Defense when a good offense is the best defense? I'm even tempted to give him some Boots, but then it'll be tough to buy him in my Revelation file. I've hereby sworn to make sure Haitaka squares off against Takumi and Sakura down the line so he can go 4/4 against Hoshidan Royals, and he's definitely going to land the final hit against the final boss. So I ask you, the community, what else should Defense Daddy Haitaka accomplish as the chosen Defender of Nohr? And when he's ready to promote, should he hone his naginata mastery further as a Spear Master, or add deadly magic and Rend Heaven to his repetoire as a Basara?
