Best NPCs to Recruit
NPCs Who Exploit Enemy Weaknesses
NPCs who exploit enemy weaknesses are useful in Breaking opponent shields faster without having to spend your BP. These include the Stern Scarlet Wing in Emberglow who exploits weakness to Dark, and Soldier Guarding Entrance in Theatropolis who exploits weakness to Daggers.
NPCs Who Restore HP or SP
NPCs who can heal your party can get you out of a tight spot in battle. Traveler from Theatropolis in Emberglow is a good option, as he can restore SP. This will be useful in early-game boss battles, since players will tend to use more Battle Skills.
Grounded Aristocrat in Theatropolis is also a great option, as he can heal the HP of the entire front or back row. This is a great hire for enemies that use a lot of spread attacks.
How to Recruit NPCs
Perform Path Actions
NPCs can be recruited either directly through the recruit Path Action, being hired with money, or impressed through battle. You may approach an NPC to see if they have a human icon shown in their bubble.
Your influence stats can affect the success of your recruitment. Fame can help increase the success rate of recruiting, while Wealth can help with successfully haggling lower hire prices.
