A great battle in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will feature strategies, a unique feature to give your side an advantage during the conflict. You can only use it during significant battles in a chapter, and they use a critical resource known as Strategy Resources, which you can get before you get to that point. Here’s what you need to know about how strategies work in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.
How to use strategies and how to use them
You can visit the Strategy screen before a chapter battle in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Here, there will be a list of opportunities that you can choose to initiate during the battle. These strategies can provide direct support to your side, such as weakening enemy strongholds or allowing one of your main characters to start in enemy territory. A strategy can occur at the start of the battle and be passive, or it can be activated in the middle of the fight.
One of the important decisions you can make on the Strategy screen is to recruit enemy generals, the main characters that appear in the other houses. For example, as the Golden Deer house, we had the opportunity to persuade Linhardt to join our side, unlocking them as a playable character and expanding our roster. Linhardt is usually available exclusively while playing as the Black Eagles house.
When the Strategy to Persuade Linhardt was ready, a little icon appeared on our screen, and we had to start it. Choosing a strategy at the beginning of the battle is important, but making sure to select to activate a strategy and follow it as the main mission is essential to carry it out.
You’ll want to make sure you acquire enough strategy resources before a chapter battle, which means conquering small territories. You may not always want to do this, as you can get extra Renown at the end of a chapter for capturing fewer.
You can only access these strategies during larger conflicts. For those looking to unlock as many characters as possible and add them to their side, you’ll want to fight your way through as many side quests and regions as possible before entering the final battle for a chapter.
