Recruiting characters in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is an important feature in the early game — but a crucial one in later chapters. Regardless of the path you choose to play in Part 1, you'll have a starting group of characters to play with. However, to win the Heroic Games, the protagonists of each path will need all the allies they can get.
To help you find the best units and form the strongest army you can, we've prepared this guide listing all the recruitable characters in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, along with the requirements each has to join your group. Besides, we also explain how the recruiting process works and how to raise support level. [Ed. note: This guide contains spoilers for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave so keep that in mind as you read through it!] Update (Oct. 9): We've added a new section to this guide explaining how to merge units. In Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, to recruit a character, you must first give them a gift to unlock the "Recruit" dialogue option.
Then, you must meet their support level and renown level requirements in relation to the Flame Lord you are playing with (Cai, Dietrich, Theodora or Leda). Once they accept becoming part of your team, you can use them in battles and engage in other activities, like temple services. Some characters may have two other requirements in their "Conditions" tab: paralogues and negotiations.
The former are unique missions that start appearing in Chapter 10 and are only available for a short period of time. On the other hand, negotiations are different for each character. One can make a request, giving you a side quest to complete, while others will ask for a certain number of items.
A character's support and renown requirements are different depending on the protagonist you're playing with. Some may not even be recruitable in specific routes. If this is the case, but you want to have that character on your roster, you can just play the path where that character is available.
Characters you have already recruited on one route will still be available on the other, but you can only recruit characters during Part 1. Some characters, like Anatolia, will appear as "not recruitable," but you can make her and other important characters part of your team in Part 3 by completing their paralogue missions in Part 1. Each Flame Lord has their own paralogue mission as well, and completing them is the quickest way to add them to your team without having to complete all paths to secure them.
