How Character Unlocking Works in DragonSword: Awakening

What the current official FAQ confirms about character access, what players report about invitations, and why this page does not publish a full unlock table yet.

Direct Answer

The official Steam FAQ says that buying the game allows players to obtain all 19 playable characters available at launch through story progression. That confirms the broad acquisition model, but it does not provide a per-character route, invitation schedule, or task list. A Steam Community discussion reports invitation-style choices and story milestones, but that information is a Community Report rather than a complete verified roster.

What the Current Sources Support

  • Official: the Steam FAQ says the launch roster is obtained through story progression after purchase.
  • Official: the Steam store describes a roster of 19 Heroes and a story-led journey across Orbis.
  • Community Report: one discussion describes invitation-style selection and milestone-based character reports.

Main Story, Invitations, and Character Tasks

Main-story progression is the only character acquisition route explicitly confirmed by the official FAQ. The community thread may be useful when deciding what to investigate in-game, but its invitation timing and named examples are not independently confirmed here. The accessible official sources checked for this page do not document a complete invitation-ticket table, a universal character-task order, or separate hidden unlock conditions.

Common Problems

  • Assuming a single community roster post is complete.
  • Reading an invitation report as an official schedule.
  • Confusing a character encounter, a story milestone, and a playable unlock.
  • Using character names or quest numbers that have not been checked against an official source.

What Is Confirmed

Official sources confirm the story-based, buy-to-play character acquisition model and the launch count of 19 playable characters. They do not confirm the full order, ticket economy, or individual tasks needed for each character.

Community Findings

The checked community discussion reports invitations tied to main story milestones and lists several examples. Because it is a single player-maintained thread and does not establish a complete roster, this site keeps those details as a Community Report and does not reproduce them as an unlock table.

Not Yet Confirmed

A complete character-by-character unlock list, exact invitation ticket cadence, character quest requirements, and any alternate acquisition method are not yet verified from the currently available sources.
