Every protagonist in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave has a few characters who will automatically join their party during the early parts of their story. If you grow very attached to a specific character and are worried about not seeing them in the other routes, you won’t have to worry too much as each protagonist can recruit characters from the other clans. Not everyone can be recruited, but most of them can. One key example of this is Mikaela, who joins Dietrich’s clan early on in his story and then can be recruited by other character’s mid-way through their routes. If you wish to know the requirements to recruit Mikaela in every route, here is a quick guide on how to recruit her in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave
How to Recruit Mikaela in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave
Every unit’s recruitment requirements varies depending on your route in order to make sure you don’t rely on the same party for all characters. Some protagonists can get Mikaela relatively early while others will need to wait quite a while to get her. Here are her recruitment requirements across all four routes.
| Route | Support Requirement | Renown Requirement | Special Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cai | 3 | 5 | Pay 3000 Gold |
| Leda | 3 | 6 | Pay 3000 Gold |
| Theodora | 3 | 8 | Pay 3000 Gold |
| Dietrich | Story Recruitment | Story Recruitment | N/A |
As you read above and likely have seen during your interactions with her in the game, Mikaela is part of Dietrich’s main group and thus will join his party automatically. For every other character though you’ll have to play through a good chunk of their story before you have a chance to recruit her.
Once you have gotten enough Renown and reached rank 3 Support with Mikaela, you’ll be able to ask her to join your team. Sadly, she still owes a lot to Dietrich and won’t be joining your party for free. Despite that, her actual asking price to leave one clan and join another isn’t that high.
If you have 3000 gold on hand (There are almost certainly enough side quests in your current chapter to get that much) then you can pay Mikaela to join your party. She is a pretty good axe-user and a nice addition to nearly any party.
