You can recruit most characters in this game by simply progressing the story. But for a certain few characters, you will need to talk to them to have them 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 beside the character that you want to recruit. This can be a different character based on who you are recruiting.
  2. Next, for you action click on Talk.
  3. This will start a dialogue between the two characters.

Once it is over, you will recruit the new character to your party. Remember you can only add them in the given chapter, once you complete it you won’t get to recruit them for the rest of your playthrough.

Below is the list of all characters that you will need to recruit manually. Before checking the list, there are some Minor spoilers ahead for the characters (specifically their names and the chapter names). So now that you have been warned here are them all:
