Characters in Triangle Strategy are not all recruited through the same means. You’ll need to know how to recruit each character, so you can make the most informed decisions during your playthrough.

    Factors That Influence Recruitment

    In Triangle Strategy, there are two major factors that will influence which characters join your team: your chosen routes and Serenoa’s Conviction. You’ll want to know ahead of time which characters are unlockable through which routes, so you can tip the Scales of Conviction in the right direction come voting time.

    Additionally, certain characters will require Serenoa to have specific Conviction stats for them to want to join your party.

    How to Raise Each of Serenoa’s Convictions

    Everyone gathered to cast their vote.

    Though you can only see your exact Conviction values when you start a New Game+, there are clear ways to raise each Conviction.

    Morality

    To raise Serenoa’s Morality Conviction, make choices centered around taking the morally right action. The following is a full list of actions that can also be done to raise the Morality Conviction:

    • Exchange large amounts of Kudos for rewards
    • Complete a mental battle
    • Talk to numerous NPCs
    • (In battle) end a turn without moving or acting
    • (In battle) fortify allies
    • (In battle) win without killing all enemies
    • Win a battle where the recommended level and that of your army are the same

    Utility

    To raise Serenoa’s Utility Conviction, make logical decisions that use any means necessary to gain the advantage. Additionally, you can take the following actions to gain Utility points:

    • Collect numerous items and bits of information
    • Deploy the recommended units in battle
    • (In battle) use Quietuses
    • (In battle) collect spoils
    • (In battle) weaken enemies
    • (In battle) kill all enemy units even when you aren’t required to
    • Win a battle when the recommended level is higher than that of your army

    Liberty

    To raise Serenoa’s Liberty Conviction, make choices that promote freedom and individuality. Additionally, there are a bunch of actions you can take to raise your Liberty points:

    • Spend large amounts of coin at the shop
    • Use items
    • Examine objects during exploration
    • Deploy units that aren’t recommended
    • (In battle) steal items
    • (In battle) heal allies
    • Win a battle when the recommended level is lower than that of your army

    All Recruitable Characters and How to Get Them

    Not all characters in Triangle Strategy are recruited in the same way. While some recruits are dependent on which route you choose, others depend on the state of your Convictions. In addition, some characters will be recruited to your team automatically.
