Is the capture mechanic in Fire Emblem Fates worthwhile?
Feel free to tailor your answer to routes but please keep your answers spoiler free. From what I read here: http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Capture#Fates my interpretation is there's not much point to capturing units as they'd be effectively subpar to your named special snowflakes composing your army.
- Most captured units are very low grade units, having low growths and often bad starting stats. They also are limited to their starting class set, having no secondary class, and cannot form supports with any allied units.
- captured units may have unique enemy skills, such as Inevitable End, when fought and captured. However, upon recruitment, the enemy will lose any of the enemy-exclusive skills on them.
In particular it strikes me that in Birthright it's not worthwhile as you can already grind up your units.
For example can you rip skills off captured units and put them onto your named units? Would this make the capture mechanic worthwhile?
