The Heroic Games arc in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave shakes up traditional recruitment rules by letting players recruit nearly every character they clash with—this includes the notorious pirate Kiroc, who exits the story early but can join your ranks on every route. This unique system adds layers to your strategy, giving you the chance to build a truly diverse party if you manage recruitment carefully.
How to Recruit Kiroc in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave
Kiroc’s recruitment isn’t uniform across routes, as each protagonist’s path tweaks his requirements. Depending on which route you take, you’ll need to meet specific support levels, accumulate renown points, and hand over a set quantity of Pure Water to convince this pirate to join you.
| Route | Support Requirement | Renown Requirement | Special Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cai | 3 | 8 | Give him 8 Pure Water |
| Leda | 1 | 4 | Give him 3 Pure Water |
| Theodora | 3 | 10 | Give him 8 Pure Water |
| Dietrich | 1 | 4 | Give him 3 Pure Water |
Leda and Dietrich stand out for being able to recruit Kiroc almost immediately. In contrast, Cai and Theodora require more patience and effort, only unlocking Kiroc’s loyalty much later in their campaigns.
Kiroc’s unique request is tied to his fear of ghosts, making Pure Water an essential item to soothe his anxiety before he steps back into battle. Despite Leda and Dietrich’s storylines having more supernatural encounters, Kiroc surprisingly asks them for less Pure Water than the other routes.
Obtaining Pure Water is straightforward compared to other recruitment quests. Just visit Dagison’s item shop, where you can buy unlimited amounts of Pure Water—no need to hunt down rare vendors or hidden spots.
Once you hand over the required Pure Water, Kiroc will immediately join your squad. His personal skill suits his cunning nature perfectly: if an enemy has a status effect, he gains +3 Attack and +10 Crit, letting him finish off weakened foes efficiently.
