We will quickly talk about the best prisoners to take out your anger on. They are perfect if your other squadmates are pretty weak and you need somebody to whoop their ass, so their toughness and other combat skills go up. Let’s make 1 thing clear - getting some of these guys WILL NOT BE EASY - they are one of the hardest characters in the game.

So how do you acquire these guys, if they are so hard to kill in the first place? You need to improve your assassination skill and knock them out, also kidnap them, take them to your outpost, and put them in a cage. Voila!

5. Armor King

You better run fast after knocking him out…

This guy is strong as hell and he’s surrounded by OP robots that will shred you to bits if you attempt to kidnap or kill their beloved owner. Simply knock him out, sneak out of his shop, put him in a cage, and order one of your weakest characters to fight him - it will be a hell of a show, believe me!

Why Armor King is great for training your characters:

- 95 toughness… Good luck killing this feller!

- 80 martial arts? DO NOT UNEQUIP THIS GUY, IT WILL MEAN YOUR END! 

- He’s a robot, which makes him even tankier.

4. Eyegore

Chunky boy.

Eyegore is tanky as hell and he’ll be sent to you if you do too bad stuff within Tengu’s Empire. For example, kidnapping one of the nobles. Or a few of them. Perhaps massacring the entire city or, if you have massive balls, kidnapping/killing Tengu himself. At that point, Eyegore will be sent to your outpost in order to obliterate you…

But if your outpost is unconquerable and you manage to put him in a cage, you can expect him to be a great punching bag for your characters. Despite his tough-guy persona, he looks kinda adorable!

Why Eyegore is great for training your characters:

- Tough to kill

- Dexterity is not too great on this guy, which makes him pretty slow

- After you’re done beating the crap out of him, you can annoy him in the cage!

3. Bugmaster

Oh, this guy.

Let me explain to you how I kidnapped this guy. I brought an Eagle’s Cross with me and shot him a few times. He stopped following me each time I went to the bottom floor and after a few bolts fired at his chest, he finally dropped. I quickly bandaged him, grabbed him, and ran from the angry mob of spiders!

Why Bugmaster is great for training your characters:

- He’s easy to defeat, due to him not wearing any armor

- Weak martial arts, which make him an excellent punching bag for your recruited starving bandits!

- This guy is a weirdo overall and when you no longer want him to be beaten up by your squadmates, you can give him in for a 100k cat bounty.

2. Mad Cat-Lon

Mad indeed.

Mad Cat-Lon is one of the strongest characters in the game, he’s also surrounded by incredibly powerful skeletons, thus if you want to kidnap him and use him for training, make sure to have your stealth and assassination skill maxed out. If you manage to kidnap him, you will also be able to steal his Meitou Falling Sun, which is the best heavy weapon in the game, IMO!

Why Mad Cat-Lon is great for training your characters:

- High stats

- Skeleton, which makes him already unbelievably hard to kill

- You can have an interesting dialogue with this guy

1. Tinfist

Is it immoral to imprison this guy?

Who cares, all we know is that this guy has the highest stats in the whole game. If you try to mess with this guy, he will most definitely DESTROY you. His martial arts are at 100, so you can expect him to rip out your spine and bash you over the head with it - which is great for your toughness. He can be found in Stobe’s Gamble and as before - make sure your assassination/stealth is at the highest level, as his friends won’t just let you kidnap him!

Why Tinfist is great for training your characters:

- Deals a lot of damage(100 martial arts), which greatly boosts your toughness skill

- Highest stats in the game

- For the love of God, equip him with an iron stick. He COULD overwhelm your entire outpost if he’s unarmed!
