In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, recruiting characters for your house is not that easy. Usually in Fire Emblem games, recruiting characters is a great way to expand your ranks and give yourself more variety for battles. At the start of Three Hopes, you’ll use the main characters you start out with for your house, and won’t interact with the other houses too much between battles. Can you recruit other characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes?

Getting new characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes

We can confirm that you will have the opportunity to convince other characters to join your house that appears in the other houses. For example, Hapi and Petra appear in a major battle towards the end of Chapter 4 for the Blue Lions, and Linhardt appears in The Defense of the Great Bridge for the Golden Deers. The characters will not appear in the same order, and you will get a little notice that they will appear when you look at the Available Strategies where you can recruit them.

Strategies is where you can use your Strategy Resources, which you can acquire as you progress through the campaign. A strategy is a way to benefit your side during a conflict, such as convincing an enemy general to join your side. If you choose a strategy to persuade another character to join you, he will appear in battle and you will have to defeat him. After defeating them, the character agrees to join you and will be available in future battles.

Be sure to check Strategies before any major battles to see which characters are available to recruit. We only noticed one or two appearing during a battle. You’ll want to carefully use your strategic resources throughout your campaign to ensure you don’t miss out on your favorite characters.
