In a perfect run where Byleth has recruited all of the two other houses, I'm trying to imagine what kind of demoralizing emptiness must go on in those houses with the captains after everyone's decided they're not cool enough.

I just eat/sing with them. Get double the students. Professor level(idk if tea time gives exp?) And off chance the students raise support with one another. Then throw in some gifts. Make enough money where buying gifts isnt too bad. Though can get pricey for multiple. Granted I've never tried tea time so idk how they compare. I so far havent had much trouble getting to B though. Granted I'm more focusing on professor leveling while exploring. Buy gifts once a month, eat with them and sing. And they should be good within a month at least
There are three characters that can't be recruited with just B rank, Ferdinand, Caspar and Leonie all have their B support locked for later in the game, past the point where you can recruit them.

If you have a B support, you can also just talk to them during exploring. Take note though, if you start the recruitment conversation and say no for whatever reason, you lose your ONE chance for the day to recruit them.
Yup. From what I've been told safest bet is B support plus D rank in the skill they prefer. Doesnt always matter though. I've had one student come into class to join after I had their weapon skill at D. 2 I invited without their weapon skill and also agreed. Then one with their weapon and they accepted. So idk if it is just luck. But the weapon skill has helped, but wasnt always needed.
Sadly that doesn't work for hilda when you are BE, she doesn't have the recruit option over gift giving or lost items but does gain tea time at C support. Just gotta save scum (just learned that from the video) after you get her support high and hope she shows up.
Recruiting hilda on a BE run is rough, wish I knew about the save rerolling since you can't just flat ask her to join while exploring and instead rely only on her randomly showing up during the week. Still didn't kill her though when i faced claude just went through nadar's convenient step up of ships.

I agree, it helped me to get almost all units I was interested for my 1st playthrough (I still have to recruit one more and I'm working for it, I believe I will succeed before reaching the story mission of chapter 11, currently on chapter 9), I was interested in Hilda but... my current playthrough plan won't allow me to get her because story reasons (yeah, going for the secret Black Eagles division), well, that will be for the normal Black Eagles run and the other two routes.
Since i finished Blue Lions first and now have to play the other houses, i told myself that i HAD to recruit Ashe every time. No way around it, the boy gotta stay with me. I must protect the precious child.
Except for the characters you can never recruit if you don't pick their path (Dimitri & Dedue being Blue Lions only, Edelgard & Hubert being Black Eagles only, and Claude being Golden Deer only). All other students can be recruited by any House (though it's very hard to recruit Hilda if you're with the Black Eagles). Also, some characters will turn on you or be impossible to recruit if you go Empire path (in my experience, those being Catherine, Rhea, Seteth, Flayn, & Cyril).
My first playthrough, I only recruited the cream of the crop. From there, only the cream of the cream joined me in battle. I’m happy with my team and I feel a sense of accomplishment knowing I built these guys from the ground up like a true teacher. My babies are all grown up and ready to destroy people. *Sniff*
I recruited like 5 students before the timeskip. Bernadetta and ashe made it into the team and Felix/mercedece and somebody just because I could get them. (I think all of the church guys/girls I dont count cuz you have literelly just do the story and talk to them if you want them)
I basically recruited anyone who at least had 2 supports with my house. Which honestly wasnt that many. I mean not too few. Think I'll have 5 students in the end? There might have been more but didnt want to go crazy so kept it kinda simple. Took students I was interested in o
This is great for everybody except Ferdinand and Caspar, at least in Blue Lions route. Their B Supports are timeskip locked. I've recruited every other character.
I see this being more of a problem with Ferdinand tbh, because he requires Armor rank to join you. This rank especially is hard and pretty impractical to build, so you will need to try REALLY hard to recruit him. Because gauntlets are so good anyway (especially in earlygame where almost eveeything weighs you down like crazy), it should be less of a problem for Caspar. In fact, in my blind run he was the first one I recruited on to the BL house.
I believe having the amount of points needed for getting a B rank with Ferdinand is sufficient. It worked on my Blue Lions playthrough anyway, had to ask him though.
on my first play through of the game, I wasn't able to recruit ANY students because I did not know this. I figured out this method on my second playthrough by complete accident, and I felt like the game had lied to me.
I found a method to level up all skills to maximum very fast, like armored from c to a+ in 15 minutes. Step 1, have an armored knight or unit with enough defense to be able to tank infinitely Step 2, have access to adjudants, and pair up the character you want to level a skill with with said tank. Adjudants gain the full benefit of combat, skill and even class experience. They gain experience in the skill you have equipped with the adjudant before starting the map, including riding (be a cav unit), faith (equip nosferatu) and the rest. Step 3, equip the tank with broken or rusted weapons, so it becomes difficult for it to kill a unit. Rusted weapons never break, and you get points for that weapon type regardless if you hit or miss. Step 4, skip enemy phase in options. This is what basically makes it insanely easy and not time consuming to do. Step 5, do a bandit map, most preferably ones without mages and with bushes, and draw as much fire to you as possible, then simply end the turn. The unit and the adjudant basically gain a handful of points per combat done in the enemy phase. If there are 4 bandits and 2 archers, you gain like 24 points in your skills per turn. And since a turn lasts like one second, you level up skills within minutes. I do not recommend doing this in normal playthrough as basically the point of the game is to use your head and plan skill development accordingly. This method completely removes this element. But im having fun building a fully s+ edelgard with all classes unlocked.
@@shawn1603 speaking of save scumming, if you level up and dont want the stats, just turn back time and not level up that unit until you start another map. The stat gains arent set in stone as with conquest :)
You don't need to wait for the students to ask to join your class most of the time. If you want to proc the support in the monastery, you can just fast travel and it will load in. After that, you can just fast travel again to reload the map again and then you can try to attempt to recruit them. I recruited most other students this way, the only one I had to wait to ask me was Ingrid
And as a side note to anyone watching this guide after being worried about the conspicuously empty slot on the battle deployment menu: don't be. In addition to this mechanic every route gives you a few units for free, and past a certain point Byleth's natural progression will let him recruit certain Knights/trainers without a struggle. Also when a Mission Assistance unit performs an action, they get affinity from Byleth anywhere on the map. This is particularly useful for unit who gain Faith while NPC, as they can heal everyone's papercuts from across the map and still get closer to recruitment.
Good video and guide. The only other tip I have is that another good cost-efficient way to get support points is by adding the student you want to recruit to your team with Mission Assistance, then assigning them as an adjutant to Byleth (or whoever else you want them to support with). They get support points with Byleth for every combat, and anytime Byleth gets support points with a student, the adjutant will get them as well. Keeps them safely off the field too.
Surprisingly, I'm already at 3 students left to recruit (being Lorenz, Sylvain, and Marianne) and at ch. 10, and it's my first playthrough! Can't believe I've done this good so far.
Lol I missed 6 students because I never gave them gifts because the game does not tell you that you dont even need weapon ranks and stats if you have B Support with them.
MathMahm while this is true, it makes it so that you don’t have to face them post-time skip. Also to recruit everyone the fastest, I started by constantly tutoring Byleth in the weapon/skill that got the most students (lances, reason, and bows are good examples) wile getting C-tank with everyone. Once I was down to only a few students left, I took the B-rank support option to recruit them.
+Chaz Aria LLC Or just wait for new game plus and use all your extra money to bribe them with gifits and I 100% agree with sticking to mainly your core party on your first run I only recommend geting 1 or 2 from the other houses as you will be needing a slightly larger party for late game maps and some of the paralougs and you should be able to earn one or two of your favorites from the other house's through gifts and natual progression. The game is designed sticking to your own house for your base playthrough and then lets you get more in NG+ via the renown system which will quickly have the other houses saying where did everyone go? Hell if you stick with swords which Sword of the Creator kinda encourages you to do the game basicly gives Felix to you and hes a great unit for any house in my opinon.
In my first run, I only recruited Lysithea and Annette. I had heard that the latter could learn Excalibur, and was eager to see the new animation. (It's alright, but I still prefer GBA animation) Lysithea, from the beginning was destined to be my S-support. Turns out that, with her 80+ damage from the Hades spell, I had good taste...
Been in the mood to replay this game and have been binging content. I saw this video after my first play through and wanted to say thanks for the help all those years ago, when I finally did Silver Snow route I got everyone. This guide has been so memorable I could recall the information reliably, thanks for helping my past 360 hours and my future playthroughs of this game.
I'm a Deers boy and am currently 35 hours in and only on chapter 10. There are too many sweet children I must adopt in this game. Ashe, Sylvain, Annette, Caspar, and Linhardt. I wish I knew you could bypass the stat requirements, would have saved me a lot of time grinding a bunch of skills I'm never going to use on my Swordmast Byleth.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I subscribed to your channel (because of the magnificent delivery) after starting FE3H and looking for some general guides, but this video is just pure gold and just what everybody needs! No guides on the internet mention this info for some reason.
Hey just wanna say I still play the game from time to time and I go back to your videos for refreshers, and I really appreciate all of them. Hope to see more in the future!
Probably one of the better videos out there on Three Houses. Actually... this is the best kind of guide video: simple, concise and proper tips that others may have not mentioned or aware of. Also, I appreciate blue shirt Anakin being brought back to take out the trash, dude's like a spirit animal to the channel. You may not rack up the views like RamZaes or some other RUclipsr due to a lack of a naturally seeded audience, but hopefully, this will get around once I share it. Keep going man, really loving the content even if I don't have the game... YET.
That was actually quite helpful, man, thanks. Now I know how to recruit Felix and Bernadetta! (never really wanted to recruit a bunch of students, only a few)
I never comment or like videos, but yours was one of the few resources online right now that doesn’t feel like click bait. Here’s a thumbs up for your trouble 😄
Note* for those that can be recruited this way all but (Caspar, Ferdinand, and Leonie) you don't need to wait for them to ask. Once they are B rank, just walk up and ask them to join, they will be delighted you took the initiative.
First play through and I'm not even done the blue lions storyline. Yet I'm here and ready to plan ahead for my second playthrough. Lol! Thanks for this video. Definitely helpful along with many of the comments with other tips on weapon and class leveling.
I was so confused when doing my second run of the game and Sylvain wanted to join me asap? I had so much trouble to recruit girls in the blue lions for my first playthrough and now the lady killer is literally jumping on the occasion to seduce me..
My switch is still dead and I feel like everyone else already beat the game with all three houses S Supporting everyone already and also just in general dislike me specifically with spoiler videos being launched straight at me. Its a conspirancy I'm telling you.
Yeah no im having fun with Hard Classic, for the mock battle which was all I was able to do, didn't expect Dimitri to have higher strength then Edelguard though. I hope I won't run into any "HOW 2 MAKE BERNEDETTA REPLACE FLAME EMPORER" videos or whatever spoiling a hidden thing, but stuff like "yeah thing we all already knew is thing" in title, I could care less. I'll probably go back and watch it next century.
I'm glad to know that mission assistance does actually help. i only did it one time and I didn't notice a difference in support - it is plausible that I wasn't paying attention - anyway, so I didn't do it again. I have my eye on three characters I want to recruit. Been working hard, but I see that I can streamline my attempts with your methods. Thanks!
I actually didn’t know that a B support student could invite themselves into your class. Thanks for that. I’ll have to try in a playthrough that wasn’t fully dedicated to being blind.
That's actually how I got my first recruit (Lysithea), she asked to join me within the first couple months. Then I focused on grabbing Leonie & Felix, followed shortly thereafter by Shamir.
Well this is certainly very good to know! I mean I did Recruit Dorothea, Felix, and Bernadetta already using the stat method for my first run, but this is certainly an alternative method that I’ll definitely try to do on subsequent runs! Thanks so much Chaz!
“The eight you start out with are really all you need to get through this game” ..................but I’ve become too attached to all the other ones too
NG+ has been pretty chill. As long as you don't want to use Renown for other stuff you can just dump it on Professor Level for the high action points and everytime you finish quests use the renown to buy the supports you did on your first run or on skills. The action points help on the supports you haven't done or on training up certain skills that you can't buy with renown. All I have to focus on are the ones I didn't recruit on my first run and that's it. I super agree with you on the not recruiting everyone on the first run. The main cast of every house is likable as fuck and is enough for the run. At most I recommend you recruit people you're interested in or want for their usefulness in battle (i.e., Felix is a good dancer). Plus recruiting a lot of characters on your first run is likely gonna become an inconvenience. Edit: Also recruiting isn't totally bad. A lot of the recruits I got on my first run had really interesting supports with the house leader and the other students they could support. Paralogues are also a big plus (Leonie got such a good weapon out of one).
My friend shared this video with me because I said I was interested in recruitment. You now have a new subscriber! Love your voice and presentation. Very handy info. Thank you! (I'm playing BL House, first ever playthrough - I will recruit Ignatz!!) :D

@@thatonepersonnoonecaresabo3163 I tried to focus on Magic, but my brawling never got very high, unfortunately.
@@Rezkeshdadesh Oh well.
I'm glad somebody recognizes Ignatz's superiority
“Let me paint you a picture!”
OF PAIN
XD
i'd recruit these characters just so i wouldn't kill them post time skip.
Same
I’m currently working on recruiting the entire black eagles. Already got Dorothea and am close to Linhardt, I think, and Ferdinand Von Aegir
Went BL route and simply got every single class to level C and higher thus recruiting pretty much every character,
Billy Christ I got everyone except Leonie and Hilda in mine
I like the irony of it though, hence why recruiting Felix in CF and having him fight certain BL characters is so amazing and tragic for his character.
on my first play through of the game, I wasn't able to recruit ANY students because I did not know this. I figured out this method on my second playthrough by complete accident, and I felt like the game had lied to me.
But I feel that it made the memories of playing part 1 feel a lot more impactful when you have to face your old classmates later on.
Nice to see that Chaz is back (in the clack)
Damn I did not expect to see you here
Snail gang
Snail kun
Weeb
My house is good enough. I don’t need the other weaklings
The Empire!? Dimitri needs a word with you...
Kill every last of them! 'Dmitri, probably.'
You should try to get Petra every playthrough cause she's op
Novel Quirk I got Petra. She was pretty damn good.
@@GeneralVan especially as an assassin
I found a method to level up all skills to maximum very fast, like armored from c to a+ in 15 minutes.
Step 1, have an armored knight or unit with enough defense to be able to tank infinitely
Step 2, have access to adjudants, and pair up the character you want to level a skill with with said tank. Adjudants gain the full benefit of combat, skill and even class experience. They gain experience in the skill you have equipped with the adjudant before starting the map, including riding (be a cav unit), faith (equip nosferatu) and the rest.
Step 3, equip the tank with broken or rusted weapons, so it becomes difficult for it to kill a unit. Rusted weapons never break, and you get points for that weapon type regardless if you hit or miss.
Step 4, skip enemy phase in options. This is what basically makes it insanely easy and not time consuming to do.
Step 5, do a bandit map, most preferably ones without mages and with bushes, and draw as much fire to you as possible, then simply end the turn. The unit and the adjudant basically gain a handful of points per combat done in the enemy phase. If there are 4 bandits and 2 archers, you gain like 24 points in your skills per turn. And since a turn lasts like one second, you level up skills within minutes.
I do not recommend doing this in normal playthrough as basically the point of the game is to use your head and plan skill development accordingly. This method completely removes this element. But im having fun building a fully s+ edelgard with all classes unlocked.
Also, do the Sothis paralouge and loot the chest. You will find a Knowledge Gem, which doubles skill point gain when it is equipped.
@@AuthorReborn god dammit I just did it and i forgot to open chest
So pretty much the Thracia method. Aggro everything while having a broken weapon equipped.
That's about as broken as abusing rounding with bonus exp in PoR and save scumming for stats.
@@shawn1603 speaking of save scumming, if you level up and dont want the stats, just turn back time and not level up that unit until you start another map. The stat gains arent set in stone as with conquest :)
"The 8 students you start with" *Laughs in Catherine and Shamir*
I only considered recruiting Catherine because of the Paralogue and trying to get every Hero Relic onto one team
Ignatz is my dancer and has about 30 charm now, which is good because now it makes how much charm he has to me.
"I hope you all recruit ignatz. He's such a sweet boy"
Fast forward 5 years in edelgard's story: oops
He was my 2nd victim
same
I actually avoided killing him
I recruited him and he was all about Edelgard’s vision
I knew my $1 patreon support comes in handy for videos like these
Lemme shorten this all down for you:
Fastest way to recruit characters
NG+
NG++ is even easier since you probably don't have to work with statues anymore and can just dump everything into anything
I failed to recruit Petra, Ashe, Ingrid, Ferdinand and Caspar...
Now, after the time-skip I feel like crap for failing to recruit everyone...
Your fixation on Annette is quite something!
"Remember to recruit Ignatz"
Me just finishing a chapter where I had Edelgard axe him in half.
Oh...
"They'll succumb to your scum" is something i didnt thought would fit so perfectly
You don't need to wait for the students to ask to join your class most of the time. If you want to proc the support in the monastery, you can just fast travel and it will load in.
After that, you can just fast travel again to reload the map again and then you can try to attempt to recruit them. I recruited most other students this way, the only one I had to wait to ask me was Ingrid
how can i recruit you... what if we gained S Support 😳
i just want to steal everyone from edelgarf
finally a person who appreciates ignatz
Thank god, finally I can recruit Bernadetta! She's just so adorable and I want her in my class so bad... Thanks for the advice!
And as a side note to anyone watching this guide after being worried about the conspicuously empty slot on the battle deployment menu: don't be. In addition to this mechanic every route gives you a few units for free, and past a certain point Byleth's natural progression will let him recruit certain Knights/trainers without a struggle.
Also when a Mission Assistance unit performs an action, they get affinity from Byleth anywhere on the map. This is particularly useful for unit who gain Faith while NPC, as they can heal everyone's papercuts from across the map and still get closer to recruitment.
IGNATZ GANG RISE UP
Good video and guide. The only other tip I have is that another good cost-efficient way to get support points is by adding the student you want to recruit to your team with Mission Assistance, then assigning them as an adjutant to Byleth (or whoever else you want them to support with). They get support points with Byleth for every combat, and anytime Byleth gets support points with a student, the adjutant will get them as well. Keeps them safely off the field too.
Surprisingly, I'm already at 3 students left to recruit (being Lorenz, Sylvain, and Marianne) and at ch. 10, and it's my first playthrough! Can't believe I've done this good so far.
Lol I missed 6 students because I never gave them gifts because the game does not tell you that you dont even need weapon ranks and stats if you have B Support with them.
Gz! Here I am struggling to recruit anyone 😭😭😭just give me gifts right? Need to dump more for Mercedes then
superwill123 Why recruit so many? It’s not like you’re going to use them all.
MathMahm while this is true, it makes it so that you don’t have to face them post-time skip. Also to recruit everyone the fastest, I started by constantly tutoring Byleth in the weapon/skill that got the most students (lances, reason, and bows are good examples) wile getting C-tank with everyone. Once I was down to only a few students left, I took the B-rank support option to recruit them.
Update: I’ve recruited all the students!
+Chaz Aria LLC Or just wait for new game plus and use all your extra money to bribe them with gifits and I 100% agree with sticking to mainly your core party on your first run I only recommend geting 1 or 2 from the other houses as you will be needing a slightly larger party for late game maps and some of the paralougs and you should be able to earn one or two of your favorites from the other house's through gifts and natual progression. The game is designed sticking to your own house for your base playthrough and then lets you get more in NG+ via the renown system which will quickly have the other houses saying where did everyone go?
Hell if you stick with swords which Sword of the Creator kinda encourages you to do the game basicly gives Felix to you and hes a great unit for any house in my opinon.
Demi-Fiend of Time right? Mine was one-shotting whole health bars with a training sword+ in the final chapter of Edelgard’s route
Scarlet Pajama Felix and Lysintha both are the best units of the game seriously they one shot everything
In my first run, I only recruited Lysithea and Annette. I had heard that the latter could learn Excalibur, and was eager to see the new animation. (It's alright, but I still prefer GBA animation) Lysithea, from the beginning was destined to be my S-support. Turns out that, with her 80+ damage from the Hades spell, I had good taste...
Been in the mood to replay this game and have been binging content. I saw this video after my first play through and wanted to say thanks for the help all those years ago, when I finally did Silver Snow route I got everyone. This guide has been so memorable I could recall the information reliably, thanks for helping my past 360 hours and my future playthroughs of this game.
I'm a Deers boy and am currently 35 hours in and only on chapter 10. There are too many sweet children I must adopt in this game. Ashe, Sylvain, Annette, Caspar, and Linhardt. I wish I knew you could bypass the stat requirements, would have saved me a lot of time grinding a bunch of skills I'm never going to use on my Swordmast Byleth.
I was expecting something meme-y. Instead I was pleasantly surprised by actual solid content. Good job, Chaz!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I subscribed to your channel (because of the magnificent delivery) after starting FE3H and looking for some general guides, but this video is just pure gold and just what everybody needs! No guides on the internet mention this info for some reason.
So much more helpful than just showing each character joining you without a description.
Thank you!
Best Advice...... EVER, so damn straight to the point ! Thank you
Why try to recruit Ignatz when you could choose the best house: The Golden Deer house.
That's not how you spell black eagles
@@kieranpearson5096 Your spelling of Blue Lions is wrong too
@@SnowBaller985 Lol black eagles is superior
I loved playing the Blue Lions. Starting Golden Deer house now. Give them all a try
Hey just wanna say I still play the game from time to time and I go back to your videos for refreshers, and I really appreciate all of them. Hope to see more in the future!
Probably one of the better videos out there on Three Houses. Actually... this is the best kind of guide video: simple, concise and proper tips that others may have not mentioned or aware of. Also, I appreciate blue shirt Anakin being brought back to take out the trash, dude's like a spirit animal to the channel. You may not rack up the views like RamZaes or some other RUclipsr due to a lack of a naturally seeded audience, but hopefully, this will get around once I share it. Keep going man, really loving the content even if I don't have the game... YET.
Wow; this is really helpful. I'll definitely be using this to snipe recruits on my next playthroughs.
Thank you Chaz. You're the frothiest of them all!
Dude, you are the best! So glad I'm about to go into my first playthru of this game with this knowledge!
Thanks for the tips Choopi! This really helped a lot
That was actually quite helpful, man, thanks. Now I know how to recruit Felix and Bernadetta!
(never really wanted to recruit a bunch of students, only a few)
How to easily recruit:
Psst.....i'll give you an A if you join me.
I never comment or like videos, but yours was one of the few resources online right now that doesn’t feel like click bait. Here’s a thumbs up for your trouble 😄
Awesome informational vid dood! Will save for next playthrough and share!!!
I actually did recruit Ignatz while trying to get Dorthea.
Thanks for the video! ^.^
Ignatz is pretty relatable
Honestly the first recruitment video I've watched that actually made sense thanks dude
Thank you for this, it's very helpful and direct with the info as you said.
Note* for those that can be recruited this way all but (Caspar, Ferdinand, and Leonie) you don't need to wait for them to ask. Once they are B rank, just walk up and ask them to join, they will be delighted you took the initiative.
This is the kind of ASMR that I can support.
First play through and I'm not even done the blue lions storyline. Yet I'm here and ready to plan ahead for my second playthrough. Lol! Thanks for this video. Definitely helpful along with many of the comments with other tips on weapon and class leveling.
Thanks for the video. That truly helps out a lot.
I was so confused when doing my second run of the game and Sylvain wanted to join me asap? I had so much trouble to recruit girls in the blue lions for my first playthrough and now the lady killer is literally jumping on the occasion to seduce me..
My switch is still dead and I feel like everyone else already beat the game with all three houses S Supporting everyone already and also just in general dislike me specifically with spoiler videos being launched straight at me.
Its a conspirancy I'm telling you.
What happened to your switch?
I forgot the dock at school so its dead unless my girlfriend brings her dock over but she hasn't been able to come over lately because personal issues
MyssleDissle ooh that’s tough
Those people just unga bunga through normal-casual. Don't feel pressured to do that if you don't want to.
Yeah no im having fun with Hard Classic, for the mock battle which was all I was able to do, didn't expect Dimitri to have higher strength then Edelguard though.
I hope I won't run into any "HOW 2 MAKE BERNEDETTA REPLACE FLAME EMPORER" videos or whatever spoiling a hidden thing, but stuff like "yeah thing we all already knew is thing" in title, I could care less. I'll probably go back and watch it next century.
I'm glad to know that mission assistance does actually help. i only did it one time and I didn't notice a difference in support - it is plausible that I wasn't paying attention - anyway, so I didn't do it again. I have my eye on three characters I want to recruit. Been working hard, but I see that I can streamline my attempts with your methods. Thanks!
I loved the little nemo music in the background you snuck in there
I actually didn’t know that a B support student could invite themselves into your class. Thanks for that. I’ll have to try in a playthrough that wasn’t fully dedicated to being blind.
That's actually how I got my first recruit (Lysithea), she asked to join me within the first couple months. Then I focused on grabbing Leonie & Felix, followed shortly thereafter by Shamir.
Might as well just join golden deer if you want ignatz so badly, youll get to off lorenz!
This will definitely help me! Thanks for the tips!
Well this is certainly very good to know!
I mean I did Recruit Dorothea, Felix, and Bernadetta already using the stat method for my first run, but this is certainly an alternative method that I’ll definitely try to do on subsequent runs!
Thanks so much Chaz!
Choopi Choosi back in the klack with the informative information!
I’m on New Game+ and I just recruited every single unit with ease, holla at ya boy
Awesome quick and SIMPLE video!
“The eight you start out with are really all you need to get through this game” ..................but I’ve become too attached to all the other ones too
NG+ has been pretty chill.
As long as you don't want to use Renown for other stuff you can just dump it on Professor Level for the high action points and everytime you finish quests use the renown to buy the supports you did on your first run or on skills. The action points help on the supports you haven't done or on training up certain skills that you can't buy with renown.
All I have to focus on are the ones I didn't recruit on my first run and that's it.
I super agree with you on the not recruiting everyone on the first run. The main cast of every house is likable as fuck and is enough for the run. At most I recommend you recruit people you're interested in or want for their usefulness in battle (i.e., Felix is a good dancer). Plus recruiting a lot of characters on your first run is likely gonna become an inconvenience.
Edit:
Also recruiting isn't totally bad. A lot of the recruits I got on my first run had really interesting supports with the house leader and the other students they could support. Paralogues are also a big plus (Leonie got such a good weapon out of one).
Chaz, you’re a lifesaver! I’ve been trying to figure out the easiest way to do it.
My friend shared this video with me because I said I was interested in recruitment. You now have a new subscriber! Love your voice and presentation. Very handy info. Thank you! (I'm playing BL House, first ever playthrough - I will recruit Ignatz!!) :D
Greetings and welcome. Welcome to Choosi's house.
This worked like a charm, HERES A SUB FOR YOU SIR!
Greetings and welcome. WELCOME TO CHOOSI'S HOUSE!
When I think about this feature it feels more funny that claude is alone like literally no teacher no singal student with him poor claude🤣
Also after you B support just fast travel then go back to the person and recruit them manually
Thanks for the video man, super helpful! :)
Short and simple. Thank you very much!
Every time the mission assistance character attacks or heals they also gain support strength with Byleth even when across the map.
If ur not in Blue Lions get Mercedes and Felix. Mercedes is op healer and her magic stat is high n she can heal across the other side of the map
I Appreciate the help! Thanks!!!
On a side note just recruited Felix and Ignatz (Still on chapter 7 because you know Sickness) and finally got Maneula to B Support. hehehe
thank you!! was so tired of trying to get dex & riding up to get Petra when i was focusing on Sword/Reason for Byleth
