Getting all Companions?

[Dracon]

I somehow managed to muss several of the companions, like Nemesis, throughout the game. I heard you can get her once you are on A level (huh?), but what are the exact requirements for that?
Or does the game secretly have multiple endings, and she and certain othersdon't get killed?

[ForteDS]

You kind of have to do free missions until she appears in one, then get the finishing blow on her.

[Dracon]

In other words its at least 50% random who you get?

[Knightframe]

Spam the fastest free missions and they will proc. Quickest one is the one where you pick up asteroids and a mini boss spawns (that goes down with AI partners realy fast).

I'm working on a file with that info in it.

You can find the recruitement tab all the way at the end ^^ Still being made

Do you mean online ones or the non/repeatables?

Ill translate everything from the hyperwiki as for the missions where they spawn in cant help you there are the moment
To unlock abyss and heaven you must have unlocked saviour to get saviour you must have acquired knight to get knight you must have not destroyed Saviour’s arsenal when it gets damaged after that fight him one more time in free mission.
Nemesis you just fight with her or fight her, grief you must have done 80 solo missions and fight him,
For artist you must have done 20 grafitti scans and finish shining goat
Char Anzble you must have done 60 solo missions and fight with him or fight him

How does the game track how many missions you have done in solo that I do not know

I think there might be several ways to unlock them. I somehow managed to unlock Savior in my previous game without having knight. (The option to make him join vanished in late game though). Nemesis never cared to join, despite having been a partner when fighting a colossal. I did have heaven, and Heaven, after beating her on a mission with her and Abyss being invaders, but Abyss retreated right after Heaven got defeated.

But can you even do 80 missions without beating the game at least once first?

you can do 80 missions without beating the game you just HAVE TO DO 80 MISSIONS like say do the first free mission available to you 80 FREAKIN TIMES

Repeteable non-story missions. You wont get a companion in online only. Just singleplayer.

Question about invaders/invasions: Do you have to reach a certain point in the story to 'unlock' that mechanic (like the Factory tab)? I ask this because I've replayed the E2 Nightcrawler Free Mission almost 2 dozen times and never once was invaded by "Regret" (according to a few google docs on both the PC and switch versions, she is supposed to invade that mission at ~20%+ chance). Nothing so far. :/

Isn't repeating missions only available after beating the game? or do you mean savescumming them?
Edit: Nvm I just saw that you can repeat the free ones.

The very first invasion I got was reclaiming the city free mission I got rouge cinderalla that way
And rumor has it doing 80 solo runs even on rank D will make grief invade your mission but I cant verify this claim

You can fight Grief in the mission "04-0952: End of Time" which is a coop mission.
He can also invade the following mission :
16-0602: Blue Moon (FREE B)
04-0604: Ignorant Queen (FREE B)
02-0202: Fire Power (FREE D)
01-0106: Lightning Strike (FREE E)

You can find all the characters in a doc sheet link I posted yesterday on this thread :)

Ok, but *do I need to progress through the story to even get invasions at all?*

While your doc is helpful (props to everyone contributing data), I've gotten ZERO invades after completing Free Mission E2 2-dozen times, and Free Mission E1 10 times (with and without Johnny G as a hired ally). Story-wise, I'm still pretty early in the story (rank E mission, just after you get Johnny G as a hireable ally) and just did a bunch of coop and exploration missions so far.

**I've been repeating those 2 free missions like mad in the hopes I can get the invades/receruitable allies tied to them ('Regret' for E2 and somebody else for E1) XD

Maybe you *can't* get invades at all until a certain point in the story? (Like how the 'factory' or 'attachment changing' isn't available until a few missions into the story)

Sadly I don't have the answer to this. My guess would be that you have to meet them first in certain mission for them to invade you.
Like for exemple I can hardly see Solomon invading you at Rank E missions when he is one of the latest characters you meet x) Even tho he can invade you there from what I found.
