Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes - Every Recruitable Unit…

Like many previous Fire Emblem games before it, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes provides players with ample opportunities to recruit new units to their cause. Depending on the path and house that they choose near the beginning of the game, there can be as many as 17 unlockable units on a single playthrough, with four more available for those who unlock the game's New Game Plus Mode.

For the most part, players are free to pick and choose who they recruit with very few consequences either way. However, there are certain units who can only be persuaded to join if players have a certain character in their active team when using the associated strategy. Also, recruiting Byleth and Jeralt is essential for those hoping to unlock Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes' true ending, so players should make doing so a priority.
