Here's how to recruit all playable characters in Triangle Strategy - TechnW3

Not all fighters are created equal.

During the course of Triangle Strategy's story, players will have the opportunity to encounter dozens of different playable characters, although you can only have a specific number of party members at any given time. Not to mention, the game is governed by convictions of Utility, Morality, and Liberty, so you might attract different characters to your side depending on the choices you make. From what we've been able to tell, there are 30 recruitable characters total, but it's impossible to get them all on your team within one playthrough. Here's how they stack up against each other and how to recruit them.

Triangle Strategy Character tier list

As a bonus, we've made this tier list based on our own experiences with Triangle Strategy characters. Most characters can be useful if the player employs the right tactics and has the right dynamic set up between teammates. It's also good to note that characters that aren't particularly powerful at first can become incredibly powerful if leveled up correctly.

Tier Character
S Serenoa, Frederica, Anna, Erador, Ser Maxwell
A Roland, Narve, Lionel, Geela, Hughette, Benedict, Archibald, Avlora
B Hossabara, Julio, Medina, Rudolph, Ezana, Piccoletta, Cordelia, Travis, Trish, Quahuag, Flanagan, Groma
C Corentin, Jens, Milo, Decimal
D Giovanna

Character recruitment

While there are 30 playable characters in Triangle Strategy, they are unlocked in different ways. Some characters join your team based on a big story decision you make while others will only join your team if Serenoa's Conviction Requirements for Morality, Utility, and/or Liberty have been met. We have a separate guide on how to gain points on Morality, Utility, and Liberty if you'd like to check it out.

You earn points in these areas based on the decisions you make and the things you say throughout the course of your game. However, you cannot tell what kind of points your decisions will make nor can you check your current Conviction Requirements points at any time. This leads to a lot of replayability, which is one of the reasons Triangle Strategy is one of the best Nintendo Switch games out there.
