All Recruitable Characters Through Progression in Fire Emblem Engage

Simply progress the story and you’ll unlock these characters. Since they are in the main story, they can’t be missed.
All Recruitable Characters with Special Requirements in Fire Emblem Engage
The following characters require completing certain side quests or talking to specific characters at the right time.
- Jean – After finishing Chapter 5, head to Tea-Field Village and start the fight with Jean. Have Alear use the talk option and Jean will join your team.
- Anna – First, reach Donation level three with Fierne (visit the Donations Bulletin Board at Somniel). Then, after reaching Chapter 7, engage in the paralogue mission named ‘A Mysterious Merchant’ and a paralogue battle named ‘Paralogue Bandits’ Hideout’. From there, open the middle treasure chest where Anna is hiding and have Alear talk to her.
- Jade – In Chapter 9, during the ‘A Clash of Forces’ mission, have Diamant use the Talk ability on Jade before the mission is over.
- Seadall – In Chapter 15, during the ‘Dancer in the Ruins’ mission, have Alear use the Talk ability on Seadall before the mission is over.
- Saphir – In Chapter 19, during ‘The Dead Town’ mission, have Alear use the Talk ability on Saphir before the mission is over.
Keep an eye on the chapter for each of these five characters since they can easily be missed if one isn’t attentive to detail.
