Assassin's Creed Brotherhood assassin recruits: contracts, training and combat support
Build a reliable Brotherhood team and avoid losing new recruits on difficult contracts.
Edition covered
The original Brotherhood campaign and Rome activities. Ubisoft Steam pictures show the original PC release; The Ezio Collection visual changes and discontinued online services are outside this reference.
Recruit after the system opens
Once the story introduces recruitment, rescue eligible citizens marked on the map. Freeing Borgia-controlled districts increases the opportunities available to expand the Brotherhood.
| Stage | Action | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| New citizen rescued | Review the recruit roster | Identify a new low-level Assassin |
| Easy contract available | Assign a suitable team | Build experience with less risk |
| Difficult contract selected | Check success percentage | Add experienced support before dispatch |
| Contract completed | Review training and points | Improve the returning recruit |
Read the contract’s success estimate
Contracts differ in difficulty, travel time and reward. Assign enough recruits to reach a safe success chance; a promising reward does not justify sending an inexperienced Assassin alone into a dangerous mission.
| Situation | Choice | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Guard blocks a quiet approach | Call a recruit on an isolated target | Support must be available |
| Several guards converge | Use available Brotherhood assistance | May conflict with memory conditions |
| Long story mission ahead | Keep recruits at home | Slower overseas training |
| Exploration and renovation trip | Send a training team abroad | Less need for immediate combat help |
Keep some help in Rome
Recruits sent abroad cannot help Ezio until they return. Balance contract training against the support you expect to need during the next story memory or tower assault.
Improve recruits when they return
Review earned skill points and equipment progression after successful contracts. Use easier work to develop a new recruit before relying on them for demanding missions.
