In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Battalions can be used by any unit to bolster their ranks during battle. Units can opt to use a Battalion to come to their aid if they want to overwhelm an opponent or if they find themselves overwhelmed and feel the need to call in some backup.
Battalions provide passive buffs, can be earned by completing side quests, are available for purchase, and operate differently compared to previous Battalion appearances in the Fire Emblem franchise. Here's everything players need to know about them ahead of their journey.

How to use Battalions in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
Players can head to the Battalion Master in their camp through the Battalion Guild. They must then speak to the NPC to see a list of all available Battalions, how much they cost, and how they will assist in battle.
Each Battalion requires a specific Authority rank before it can be used. The letter grade next to the Battalion in the purchase or selection screens will indicate how high the Authority grade must be.
After obtaining a Battalion through purchasing or receiving one by completing a side quest, visiting a Survey location, or as a mission reward, here is how players can ready them up for battle:
- Camp: Players can use their Storehouse menu to view the Barracks. This will show all of the Battalions they currently have hired. From there, players can select it, assign it, and even lock it in place to battle with a unit.
- Battle: Before starting a battle, players can access the Convoy menu, where they typically see the stats and skills of their party. A Battalion section can be accessed here, and players can assign a party member to lead a certain Battalion that will join the fight.
Players have the option to swap out Battalions in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes to strategize and come up with the best course of action to take on the next set of enemies in the story.
