Mercenaries can be hired each chapter for money, and they will remain hired for all missions in the chapter. For most mercenaries, their hiring price increases as their level increases, but they can be hired for half-price after completing the chapter's compulsory mission. After the end of Chapter 13, mercenaries can no longer be hired; they will only remain available if they were permanently recruited.
Guest characters are only available for the chapter where they initially appear unless their recruitment criteria are met. Izerna and Enid are treated as guest characters in their respective first appearances, but are automatically recruited afterwards.

Unit Types
Units can begin as Guests, Mercenaries, or Permanently-recruited characters:
- Characters that begin as Guests have additional requirements (which usually must be met in the chapter they are guests in) in order to become Mercenaries or Permanent characters.
- Mercenaries must be re-hired for each chapter (which can last up to four missions), which requires paying them a hiring fee. This hiring fee is halved if the chapter's primary mission has already been completed. Mercenaries cannot be hired after beginning Chapter 13.
- Permanent units are fully recruited and can be freely used (save for rare restrictions).
