How to Recruit Any Player in Inazuma Eleven 3 (Citra, 3DS & DS)

Do you want to recruit any player in Inazuma Eleven 3 without restrictions? In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to do it using updated cheats compatible with Nintendo 3DS, Citra emulator, and even Nintendo DS versions. Whether you're playing Lightning Bolt, Bomber Blast, or Team Ogre Attacks, this method works perfectly.

Lancer Method: The Ultimate Cheat to Recruit Any Player in Inazuma Eleven 3

If you're looking for the fastest and easiest way to recruit any player in Inazuma Eleven 3, the Lancer Method is the ultimate solution. This cheat was developed by @laancer_ and works seamlessly across Nintendo 3DS, Citra emulator, and even Nintendo DS versions, with minor code adjustments.

With this method, you can scout not only regular players but also hidden or unavailable characters, such as Seymour Hillman, Robot Guards, Arion Sherwind, and many more.

How Does the Lancer Method Work?

Follow these simple steps to scout any character using this cheat:

• The first thing you need to do is access this document containing all the Inazuma Eleven 3 player codes. Then, search and copy the code of the player you want to recruit. For example, if you want Maxwell Cardson, copy his code from the list.

• Go to the Bus and select any player using the Scout Machine or the Contact Map. In our case, we chose Campen Allerjee via the Contact Map.
• Before going to the place where the player is, activate the code. To do this, create a new cheat by pasting the copied code into your emulator or console: in Citra: go to Emulation -> Current Game Settings -> Cheats -> Add Cheat..

• Once done, head to the place where the player should appear (in this case, Raimon Institute). Instead of the original player sprite (Allerjee), you'll see the sprite of the player you selected with the code (Maxwell Cardson).

• Finally, play the friendly battle to recruit the new player. Although the match will be played by the original players, once you win, the modified character will join your team.

Compatibility with Nintendo DS Versions

To make this cheat work on Nintendo DS, follow these extra steps:

• Elimina la primera línea del código:
  • D3000000 08000000

• Replace the memory address 007D5040 with:
  • In Bomb Blast and Lightning Bolt: 020B333C
  • In Ogre: 020B15E4

Surely those of you who play more Inazuma Eleven games will have realized that this method is very similar to the Franky method in Inazuma Eleven 2, which also allows us to sign any player in that game.

How to Recruit Pre-trained Players in Inazuma Eleven 3

Before @laancer_ finalized his definitive version of the Lancer method, I developed an alternative approach that, while it doesn’t include every player in the game, is still very useful for recruiting pre-trained, competitive-ready players on both Nintendo 3DS and the Citra emulator.

This method allows you to replace a player on your team with another already trained player, making it easier to build a powerful and competitive team without having to spend hours training.

How to Use the Cheat to Recruit Pre-Trained Players

Follow these steps to take advantage of this method:

1. This cheat consists of replacing a player on your team with the desired player. In this case, the replaced player will always be the last on the first page of players, so make sure you put a player you don't mind losing.
2. Once you've prepared your team, access the document with all pre-trained players and select your game version and the desired player.
3. Now, activate the cheat and save the game. If you're playing on a 3DS and the game crashes while saving, simply disable the cheat just before saving to avoid any issues.
4. Restart the game (either by closing and reopening it or pressing START). When you load your save, you’ll see that the selected player has replaced the previous one and now appears in the first slot on the second page of your team.
5. Finally, disable the cheat and place the new player in the position you prefer within your team.
