How do you recruit all Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes characters? While only a small number of party members can accompany Nowa in his adventure at any given time, there are dozens more you can convince to take up arms and join the rebellion against the Empire. Starting a revolution is hard work, but someone has to do it.
You can hire up to 120 Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes characters, which is an awful lot. Some automatically join as you progress through the RPG game‘s story. Many others have specific requirements or are entirely missable, including the one you need to enable Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes fast travel. We’ll go over everyone you can persuade to join the rebellion, their role in your army, and how to fulfill their enrollment conditions.
All Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes characters
Below are all the Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes characters we’ve found so far who can join the rebel army. We’re listing them by the earliest point they join your party, and though some will depart and become unselectable for a time, they do return eventually. Seign and Marisa will have their own side story, which you need to complete first before their characters join you permanently. There are a handful that are still hiding from us, so do check back soon.
Each character has at least one of these five roles:
- Battle – can join the party as a playable character, complete with their own skillset. You can assign up to six character slots. Some have “x2” next to their role, which means they cover two character slots.
- Support – joins the party to grant the party a unique effect either in or out of battle.
- Manager – doesn’t join the party but is required to build facilities at the Headquarters.
- Mission – doesn’t join the party but can be assigned to help with Missions at Gocteau’s mission bureau.
- Legion Commander – doesn’t join the party but will be a commander during War Battles. Some Battle characters also have this role.
