FE Engage: How to Get and Add Units (Recruiting Guide)

Knowing how to recruit units in Fire Emblem Engage can be very helpful. As you progress through the game, you will meet many different characters. But not all of them will join you right away. To add some of these to your party, you’ll have to go the extra mile. So, here is how you can recruit and receive units in FE Engage.

How to recruit units in Fire Emblem Engage

You can recruit most of the characters in this game by simply progressing through the story. But for some characters, you will need to talk to them in order for them to join you on your quest. Here is how you can recruit them in FE Engage:

  1. Select Alear during the player phase and place them next to the character you want to recruit. This may be a different character depending on who you recruit.
  2. Next, for your action, press Talk.
  3. This will start a dialogue between the two characters.

When it’s over, you will invite a new character to your party. Remember that you can only add them in this chapter, once you complete it, you will not be able to hire them until the end of the walkthrough.

Below is a list of all the characters that you will need to manually recruit. Before checking the list, there are a few minor spoilers for the characters (specifically their names and chapter titles). So now that you’ve been warned, here they are:
