Their Loyalty (忠誠) stat determines the chance that they awaken during battle. To trigger an awakening, they'll usually have to start sustaining damage to their HP bar (not just their eqiupped soldiers' HP), but you run a risk of breaking your swords if they take lethal damage. In fact, there are currently reports that your sword can break at only medium damage (orange) if they awaken.
