Recruitment & allies

What is confirmed

Nintendo says you can recruit allies around Dagsion. A recruit may refuse at first; giving gifts or sharing a meal may persuade them to join. Recruitment is therefore a preparation activity, not a guaranteed one-step interaction. Source 12 ↗

The official description does not provide a complete recruit list, gift preferences, meal recipes, recruitment thresholds or a universal schedule.

Launch-day checks

• Record every recruit’s location and availability window.
• Separate “available to recruit” from “joins after a gift” and “joins after a meal.”
• Capture the exact item, meal, cost and relationship change used.
• Note whether recruits can leave, miss a deadline or be permanently lost.

Launch guide: the practical recruitment loop

Launch reporting describes Part I recruitment as a combination of support, Renown and a character-specific condition. Gifts unlock or improve the relationship, meals at the inn raise support, and the extra check may be a quest, item, currency payment or Paralogue. Requirements vary by path. Source 59 ↗ Source 60 ↗

Start with one gift, then use meals for the few recruits you actually want to field. Check the People list again after a match, quest or Renown increase. This is a decision aid, not proof that every recruit uses the same threshold; use How to recruit allies for the current attributed records and Support and meal guide for efficient support work.

First Cai leads

Community reports identify Guzran as an automatic early recruit for Cai, with Noctula and Yang Jie as low-condition options. A question thread also reports Renown values for Alexandra, Majide and Nuzzuo and support work for Nezha, Seteth and Ninae. These are leads for save capture, not universal facts.
