Fortune's Weave Playable Characters: What Nintendo Confirms

The only playable-character facts currently safe from the checked Nintendo sources are that Fortune's Weave has four Heroic Games protagonist paths, Cai, Dietrich, Theodora, and Leda, and that Eshmel is identified as the player character or protagonist in the time-traveling story. Complete roster membership, exact join conditions, weapon ranks, stats, supports, and growth percentages are not published in the source ledger.

Confirmed protagonist paths

Nintendo confirms four protagonist paths:

The developer interview says these paths are parallel, can be changed freely, and do not require a single correct order.

Eshmel's confirmed role

Nintendo's US store listing names Eshmel as the player character or protagonist in the time-traveling story. That does not make him identical to Cai, Dietrich, Theodora, or Leda in the route system described by the developer interview.

Until a source confirms his combat data, do not place Eshmel in a build table with class paths, weapon ranks, starting stats, or growth percentages.

Recruitable allies

Nintendo confirms that allies can be recruited in Dagsion, including mercenary-like characters and some members of other protagonist clans. Gifts and meals may persuade some characters to join.

That is enough to explain the recruitment system in broad terms, but not enough to publish a full playable roster. For the current recruitment-system status, use the Fortune's Weave recruitment guide. For relationship tracking limits, use the support chart status page.

Unknown playable-character data

The checked sources do not publish:

• the complete playable roster;
• exact join triggers;
• route-exclusive ally lists;
• starting classes;
• weapon ranks;
• base stats;
• visible growth percentages by character;
• support pairs or bonuses;
• character merge formulas across repeated routes.
