All Playable Characters in Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes

We’ll divide this list into four categories: all routes, Black Eagles, Blue Lions, and Golden Deer. Depending on which house you picked at the start of the game, there are some characters that will not join your cause no matter what.

How to Recruit Characters in Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes

All of these characters can be recruited as part of the story, though characters from opposing houses must be recruited in the middle of battle. Before the start of a chapter battle where a character can be recruited, make sure you have at least 20 Strategic Resources, and choose the “Persuade” strategy (if it’s available in that chapter) to initiate a plan to recruit them.

When you encounter that character as an enemy unit, the game will prompt you to hold down the right button on the d-pad. After doing so, you can safely defeat them in battle, and they’ll join your cause after the fight.

Some special characters can only be unlocked with Renown points towards the end of the game. Characters like Sothis and Rhea, for instance, will only be available after you’ve cleared the game at least once, so don’t worry about missing out on them during the story.

That’s all you need to know about the playable characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game.
