Learn how to recruit Leonie in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes on the Scarlet Blaze route. Follow these steps to ensure her survival and recruitment!

Hey there! So you're looking to bring Leonie onto your team in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, huh? That's awesome! She's a fantastic unit. Recruiting characters in this game usually involves a special move called a 'Strategy,' and Leonie is no different, but it's a bit different depending on which story path you're on.

First off, to even *think* about recruiting someone, you need to have the right Strategy ready. You'll see options like "Persuade [Character Name]" before a battle starts. You gotta pick that one! These Strategies cost 'Strategy Resources,' which you earn by doing side quests before the main mission where you can recruit someone. So, keep an eye on those side quests!

Super Important Rule: When the character you want to recruit shows up in battle, you MUST activate the persuasion Strategy *before* you defeat them. If you accidentally KO them without using the Strategy, they're gone for good this playthrough. No second chances! Once you activate the Strategy, the area around where they spawned will glow purple. Just make sure they're defeated within that glowing zone.

How to Recruit Leonie in the Scarlet Blaze Route

Alright, for the Scarlet Blaze path, Leonie can be recruited during the Main Quest of Chapter 12. You'll need to spend 30 Strategy Resources to use the Persuade Leonie Strategy. Don't worry if you've been capturing all the regions beforehand; you should have around 70 Strategy Resources, so you'll have enough.

Here's the flow: Play the battle like you normally would, but make absolutely sure Leonie doesn't get taken down. After you defeat a guy named Metodey, you'll get a notification that Leonie has been poisoned. This happens around the same time the Demonic Beast shows up. Right then, the Persuade Leonie Strategy will become available. Activate it ASAP!

Now, this is key: you need to escort Leonie to the eastern side of the map. There's a drawbridge there, but it'll be up. You'll have to find and hit the switch to lower it. Once that bridge is down, Leonie will head back to the Evacuation Shelter stronghold all by herself. She'll thank you and then leave the battlefield. Congrats, she's yours!

Bad news, friend. If you're playing the Azure Gleam Route, Leonie is one of those characters you just can't recruit. Sorry about that!
