Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance / Recruitment and supports
Path of Radiance Recruitment and supports
Keep recruit conversations and chapter-based support growth on track.
Edition covered
Original localized GameCube mechanics. Some pictures show original graphics inside a later emulation interface. Radiant Dawn skill reassignment and three-tier classes do not apply.
Inspect named units
Some enemies and neutral allies need a particular speaker. Read the requirement before attacking or clearing the map.
| Character | Chapter | Requirement summary |
|---|---|---|
| Ilyana | 8 | Speak with Ike |
| Marcia | 9 | Speak with Ike in Chapter 3, then again in Chapter 9 |
| Volke | 10 | Accept his service |
| Jill | 12 | Keep her alive in Chapter 11, then speak with Ike in Chapter 12 |
Deploy partners together
Eligible pairs build support by participating in chapters together. Waiting adjacent for many turns is not this game's growth method.
| Step | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Select pair | Check eligible supports | Not every pair is compatible |
| Deploy both | Share enough chapters | Accumulate support progress |
| Base conversation | View an available support | Unlock next level |
| Nearby formation | Stay within three spaces | Gain combat support bonuses |
View conversations at base
An available conversation unlocks the next level. Combat support then requires partners to remain within three tiles.
Protect utility recruits
Thieves, healers and refreshing units can matter more than another attacker. Leave room for safe recruitment and retreat.
