Everything You Need to Know About New Game Plus - Fire Emblem Three Houses

“Giving a unit a crest is the least useful thing”... unit appearance option- *exists*

[@megankarow2328]

seeing post-timeskip claude and hilda character models at the same time as their pre-timeskip art is the most disorienting thing ever omg

[@aintfalco7968]

Hilda's chest is disorienting.

[@wrex1285]

Sucks you can't access your previous file anymore. I thought after the Endgame you would be able to freely explore the Monastery with more fun filled options with random skirmishes, etc. But you literally can't access your previous file ;(

[@megankarow2328]

wait but does it let you keep the file there? or does it automatically delete when you start a new game?? i was planning on having two separate files for black eagles this is stressing me out-

[@wrex1285]

@@megankarow2328 Yeah it lets you keep the file but it's practically useless. All you get when you click on it is the explanation of the end, Marriage Cutscene, and Credits. That's it. Though I'm keeping the file in hopes of DLC letting us access it.

What? No way im saving up to 2 months of the calendar for me to mess around in before i finish then, thanks for the warning

[@ianhoddinott9492]

You'd think at the very least they could bring you back to the start of the last month and let you do the endgame again. (Verdant Wind final boss is amazing)

With my new game plus something that I noticed was that at the amiibo gazebo there was a new option to go to the Holy Tomb. I went there and it was just a small area around the throne with a few items scattered around it and Sothis was hovering in front of the throne. Later on it changed from Sothis to the opposite gender Byleth. Not sure if this is something that is exclusive to amiibo owners or not, but the items that showed up there were helpful: rings, seals, the stat upgrading items, as well as regular ingredients.

[@Cyanmint]

the opposite gender byleth shows up? whaaat

[@soykilosmoke477]

So is it only for amiibo owners?

[@the_clawing_chaos]

Wish I knew this before I spent all my Renown on those statues...

[@Ajia_No_Envy]

Statues arent even that good and they break divine pulse

[@g0ldenhour499]

But they look cute all gold tho :’)

[@wjmelendez]

well the only way to max all 4 is through NG+ as the bonuses are kept from your old save!

[@Manavine]

Don't worry, you get a bonus so you can mess with these. That being said, don't worry, your statues transfer too.

[@Cyanmint]

@@Ajia_No_Envy why do they break divine pulse?

[@InkWavve]

Some tips for NG+ Lunatic: 1. Battalions carry over, so toward the endgame, buy up a bunch of expensive battalions to sell in your next playthrough for some gold. 2. Also don't forget to keep some E and D rank battalions, so your NG+ team can all have battalions equipped right off the bat. Keep a low rank Heal battalion, since your healers get like 5 heals per map early game. 3. I'm pretty sure the Renown you invested into statues do count towards the total Renown you have available to use in NG+. There is no reason not to upgrade the statues whenever possible. 4. You should first prioritize raising your Professor Level as high as you can. Nothing else comes even close. 5. Your next consideration should be 2-3 students you want to recruit to round out your team. Spend Renown to get them up to B support, and they should ask to join within the first couple of months. In case you're wondering who to get, just grab Mercedes Lysithea Felix and you literally cannot mess up your team building. You want to have a full roster going as early as possible to take full advantage of the 3 adjutant slots, extra instructions, and extra activity points you instantly unlocked with professor levels. I find you can get 2-3 near instantly with Renown, then still grab few more quite early with your increased ability to spam tea times and gifts. 6. If you have Renown left over after that, consider upgrading skills. Charisma is the best IMO, since your battalions carry over, including the Lord's unique battalion that only requires C rank. As you know, this battalion is hilariously broken to have early game. If you have a Levin Sword/Bolt Axe user, you can raise Swords/Axes to C and end up with very strong early game weapon that is available to purchase right from the start. Especially because spell uses are very limited early game. Apart from that, you may consider B rank for Brave weapons, which is obviously very strong. Other options, like Killing or Silver weapons are not as game changing early on.

[@Holon25]

If you used a fire emblem amiibo you get a bonus from the gazebo where you can go hang out with sothis pre time skip and get a skill for byleth that takes up an action during battle giving +7 res to all units and they lose -1 every turn after until the buff disappears. Thought it was from beating the game but since you didn't have it I'm sure it's from the amiibo.

[@Holon25]

Pre time skip shes chilling on her throne afterwards it gets wierd. Trying not to spoil anything

[@Unpunk]

Could you upload some footage of it before/after so I can see?

[@Call_Upon_YAH]

[@Call_Upon_YAH]

Pure Water

[@NDex5]

You forgot sothis shield by scanning a fe amiibo in the amiibo gazebo you get access to her chair room where you get better items along with the sothis shield

[@PuppyGems]

This is very good info :) recruitment was the hardest for me to do. Also to be able to level up weapons ability is great. I am starting with Blue Lions for first walkthrough. I was worried that the new game plus will lose everything. Good to know to save Renown so you can get all these things ❤️

[@Unpunk]

sparkle wonder turns out no need to save the renowned just spend it on the statues for the rewards and you’ll be refunded it on your next play through!

[@PuppyGems]

Unpunk thank you 😊😊😊

[@curtis7191]

when you do multiple NG+ games will it keep adding up your renown and your supports or will it reset to the previous NG+?

[@Sondoleta7]

it keep adding everything, even if u are on the new game +7, and u only did rank A support on Ashe (for example) on the first new game, u can still upgrade it on "support levels" to lvl A

[@d19375]

And statues keep carrying over too

[@wikkedawsome]

just started my 3rd playthrough, second (deer) took 30 so hours do to alot of farming on my first playthrough, was able to get all but 2 statue perks by the start of the 3rd playthrough. new game + does stack over and over, so when i complete this church line game, my blue lions playthrough should be a cake walk even on hard / classic.

[@JCDGAMING01]

You also forgot to mention you keep your battalions and statue levels

[@Unpunk]

Ah yes I did! Thanks you!

[@Cyanmint]

question, is there a way to sell all your items post-final battle to buy batallions (in order to sell them back in NG+?), or would you have to sell whatever you can (that is not being used) BEFORE the final battle?

[@miketodd83]

You can also go to the holy tomb from the amiibo gazebo and get more item drops and the sothis shield which gives your whole team res+7 for 3 turns with a minor decrease over those turns

[@rzq100]

That's cool. It's interesting you get to keep some progress from your previous playthroughs. Might make Lunatic(and maybe Infernal) difficulties more manageable after they drop.

[@ianhoddinott9492]

Infernal? If that's a thing I hope they do something new like rearranging enemy placements. Instead of just giving everything obscenely powerful skills like Lunatic+.

[@rzq100]

@@ianhoddinott9492 Someone dug into the files and found both Lunatic and infernal there. Lunatic was playable but the maps on Infernal either had no units or the units were all level 99.

[@ctrusz995]

Golden Deer is EZ mode, going w Dimitri this time doing it right. Any tips? Use renown for more skills or prof lvls?

[@choripato]

So, what do you lost in NG+? I heard you can't carry on your money of your previous gameplay, what about all your weapons and items? (smithing stones, teas, fish, meats, among others)

[@aintfalco7968]

Not sure about some of those items, but I doubt it. You carry over renown, statue bonuses, and (for some reason) battalions. One helpful trick you can use is to spend all of your money on battalions on the last month. Then you can sell some of them back in your new game and start with some extra cash and a bunch of battalions.

[@waylonfogle3234]

You don’t start with any of the weapons, or anything. Completely blank slate. I wish you could’ve kept your weapons at the very least, because now you have to pay for the weapons a second time, as well as drop renown on skill levels. However, that makes it easier for your units to level up REALLY quickly. By the 3rd or 4th month you’ll have level 30 units. Depending on what your renown situation looks like.

[@heheyup393]

hey after you finish that new game plus gameplay, can you still maintain your progress and start a new game plus file?

[@Porygon2ning]

Actually, you don't need to meet the certifications of a class in order to buy class skills. I immediately gave my Petra the Lethality skill at lv. 1 and the Assassinate combat art (this one your unit must be an Assassin to use since its use is exclusive to that class alone). If I am mistaken, please feel free to let me know.

[@Unpunk]

I think you need the certification but not sure atm

[@Porygon2ning]

@@Unpunk I'll have to play a third playthrough to be absolutely certain so I'll be sure to make a follow-up response. I do know that you can max out EXP of a class for 500 renown as soon as you can access the journal - no certification needed - thus allowing you to access the class skill, like Death Blow from the Brigand class. Assuming this is how it works, it grants you the freedom to have any unit go to different classes on subsequent playthroughs for interesting results without having to grind for a skill your unit already has. What I'm currently doing in my Golden Deer playthrough is maxing out the Pegasus Knight and Cavalier class EXP to unlock Darting Blow and Desperation on Ingrid and raising her Axe proficiency so that by the time I start my third playthrough with Blue Lions, I can immediately give her Darting Blow and Desperation so that I don't have to reclass her into a Pegasus Knight and Cavalier again. I want to focus on making Ingrid a Brigand so that I can have her learn Death Blow and eventually Wrath from the Warrior class. That way, she'll have Darting Blow, Desperation, Death Blow, and Wrath as her skills.

Blue Lions for the win. I did 2 runs of Blue Lions, and it was annoying with renown not being able to get Felix up to where I wanted him for a Mortal Savant. On top of that, I wish you could look at your previous units levels, classes, items, weapons, etc.

Do you have to conplete the save file then, start a new file exactly where the old one was to get these bonuses?

I believe to keep the “bonuses” or like support relationships you need to save over a file yes, I know you can do a NG+ from the main menu but I haven’t tried that myself yet to see how it effects it and what will carry over

[@lamontehughes7318]

I'm so confused. So I beat the game and saved over my file to start a new game plus. And I loved my Golden Deer and I want to pick them again because I'm attached to all the characters. Anyway, I purchased the DLC expansion, how is that going to work? I'm too exhausted to start from scratch, but how will the new Auxillary missions work? Do you have to be at a specific point in the story? I guess my gripe is that the game with the calendar system is just a moving train heading to the end of the game, and you can't stop it. I didnt have time to experiment trying new skills/classes and use things like the dark seal, because of this.

[@Unpunk]

Lamonte Hughes at any time you can use the battle feature you can treat that as a time to grind out new skills, class masteries, level grind etc. you just need to be on easy or normal mode (neither classic or casual effect this) and you just do the auxiliary battles that don’t require a point to use and keep doing them over and over again. That allows you do master classes fast and early to figure out how you want to develop your characters especially for a new house if you pick a different one (I highly recommend playing all 4 stories)

[@Unpunk]

It might give you all your spent renowned back for a new play through and allow you to “stack” it after each play through but I’m not sure yet. If so the only reason to use it to level up support really would be to help recruiting characters from other houses to build the most powerful army of 10

[@wouterW24]

@@Unpunk I'm looking all over at vids if spend renown gets returned eventually or not, trying to avoid spoilers atm though. I hope you can confirm what it is eventually. Based on past renown systems and the huge amount of buyable stuff, my guess it that it does. I heard it being stated renown spend on statues is refunded, not sure about that though, as the idea is that those should carry over. My grand design is going BE > BL > Golden deer, with the third file going all out on recuiting. Right now I'm still bogged down in GE though, and getting the things renown skips unlocked takes a ton of time. I do hope spending renown speeds things up in the future because I'm slowly going crazy, and not looking forward to repeating certain things. At least getting a high professor level takes care of the majority of tedium, at least on normal.
