Building & Upgrading Structures
The foundation of effective My Castle management lies in the strategic construction and upgrading of various structures. Each building offers unique benefits that can significantly aid your progress in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. The Armory, for example, allows you to purchase weapons and other combat items, ensuring your units are well-equipped for battle. Upgrading the Armory unlocks access to more powerful weaponry, such as the Steel Lance or the potent Brave Sword, which can turn the tide of difficult encounters. Similarly, the Tool Shop provides essential crafting materials and items like Vulneraries, crucial for healing units on the battlefield. Investing in its upgrades will grant access to rarer materials and more potent healing items.
Beyond combat preparation, structures like the Kitchen and the Farm are vital for resource generation. The Kitchen allows you to cook meals that provide temporary stat boosts to your units, making them more effective in the next battle. The Farm, on the other hand, generates Food, a key resource for various My Castle activities and for sustaining your army. Upgrading these structures increases their output and unlocks more advanced recipes or resource yields. The Dragon Gate is another critical structure, enabling you to recruit powerful Dragon units that can offer significant advantages in combat. Investing in its upgrade can lead to recruiting stronger dragon variants. The Barracks are essential for training your units, allowing them to gain experience even when not actively deployed in story missions. Upgrading the Barracks can increase the experience gain rate, accelerating your army's growth. Finally, the Hot Springs and the Beach provide passive benefits, increasing Luck and Strength respectively, and are valuable for long-term unit development. Prioritizing which structures to build and upgrade first depends on your current needs and the challenges you anticipate facing in the upcoming chapters of Conquest.
