Fire Emblem: Awakening Character Recruitment Guide: Chapter 7



One of the main focuses of recent Fire Emblem games is the possibility to recruit a lot of characters for your army. Fire Emblem: Awakening is not so different in this regard, with a lot of characters available for recruitment. As always, many of the characters can join you automatically but for some others you will have to take specific steps to make them join like deploying a specific character and make them talk with the possible recruit. With the many advanced classes available in the game you may want to recruit as many characters as possible to create the most diverse army: some classes are only useful in specific situations and that’s where the many characters of the game will come in. In this guide we will be listing all the characters available, both automatic recruitments and optionals, with small descriptions for each character: a lot of the automatically recruited characters often have something they’re really good at and I always recommend to not change their class to a different type. You will have plenty of occasions to do so with the optional characters: unlike the story ones, they have some more avarage features and are perfect to experiment with customization. So save your seals for these characters.

Cordelia

Cordelia will automatically join your army during the main battle so there will be no need to talk to her or bring some specific character into the battle. Just like Sumia, Cordelia starts out as a mounted unit. As for her class, she’s got some really nice movement range and slightly better defense than other Pegasus Knights. Still, if isolated or confronted by archers, she will be in trouble. You may want to level her up and advance her basic class to some more specific advanced classes since, in her standard class, she’s not too useful. For high mobility needs, it is better to use some stronger characters who have no trouble resisting some blows or even avoiding them like Myrmidons. An advanced class will make her more useful so just train her in non story battles and use a Master Seal. Otherwise you can just let her be.
