Fire Emblem Engage: How to Recruit Every Character

Fire Emblem Engage has plenty of characters to add to your roster, allowing you to mix and match your favorites to suit your playstyle. While most of these 35 characters will be added to your forces through the main story, a select few are entirely missable if you’re not careful.

Missable Characters

As you embark on your quest to defeat Sombron, you’ll meet a number of characters eager to join your cause. Six of these characters are missable, and if you don’t pick them up at a certain time, you’ll miss out on them for the rest of the game.

Certain characters can be recruited during Paralogue battles. These are optional fights that appear on the map throughout the game. Others pop up during main story missions and must be spoken to during battle in order to invite them back to the Somniel.

Unmissable Characters

These characters will be automatically recruited as you continue through the main story.

DLC Characters

Since its release in January 2023, Fire Emblem Engage has had four waves of DLC. The fourth added a new side story titled the Fell Zenologue, which includes five new playable characters. Three of these characters–Zelestia, Gregory, and Madeline–appeared in the main game as the group of villains called the Four Winds.

Note

These characters will join your team during various points in the Fell Zenologue story, but they won’t be customizable until they officially join your party after the conclusion of the DLC.
