How should one choose the order of recruiting teammates in The Sword and the Fairy: Fate's Decision? There are over 20 teammates in the game, among which 14 can be obtained through the main storyline, while another 5 come from DLC maps. The characters belonging to side quests can only be acquired much later in the game. In this article, I will introduce the order of recruiting these teammates, hoping this guide can help everyone.

In the early stages, there are four teammates that can be directly obtained through the main storyline. They are Wei Huo, Bai Jin, Shangguan Hong, and Sima Ling.
Among them, Shangguan Hong and Sima Ling will appear at the same time. Players need to complete the boat mission to recruit them both. Of these two, Shangguan Hong is a highly versatile support character, useful in both the early and late game.
However, it's worth noting that players must advance the main quest to before the Sword Evaluation Conference; otherwise, they will permanently lose the chance to recruit these characters.

When the game's story reaches the mid-game, players will trigger missions related to the Six Doors, requiring them to investigate cases and find the culprit. At this point, players will encounter Leng Wuqing and Huo Changqing.
These characters require players to collaborate in solving the case or completing cooperative tasks to gain the opportunity to join the team. After solving the case, if players persuade the criminal Xiaotong, they can also get Xiaotong to join the team.
Specifically, Huo Changqing requires the player to complete a sparring session before he can join the team.

In the later stages of the game, when the main story progresses to returning to Central Plains, a side quest called "Soul Wounding Bird" will be triggered in the Beggar's Sect area. Players will then meet characters like Xun Yaoyao and Yan Weihuan. These characters will directly join the team upon perfectly completing the "Soul Wounding Bird" side quest.
Actually, if the player does not perfectly complete the "Soul Wounding Bird" side quest, Yan Weihuan may never join the team.

After completing the above tasks, when players enter events related to the Divine Eagle Sect, they can recruit Leng Ying into the team. Additionally, after completing the events, they can go to the Pagoda Forest in Shaolin Temple to recruit Tizui Seng, a powerful front-line tank character.

In the later stages of the game, the most suitable characters for players to cultivate are actually Shangguan Hong, Yan Weihuan, and Tizui Seng. These three characters can form a powerful offensive team.

The above content introduces the detailed order of recruiting teammates in The Sword and the Fairy: Fate's Decision. In the game, young heroes not only need to recruit characters but also upgrade their combat power. I hope that after reading this, everyone can go into the game and experience it for themselves~
