New Game+ Optimization

New Game+ (NG+) in Fire Emblem: Three Houses allows you to carry over certain elements from a previous playthrough, enabling more optimized runs and the exploration of different strategies. This guide focuses on how to leverage NG+ to your advantage, from maximizing your starting resources to achieving specific goals more efficiently.

What Carries Over?

When starting a New Game+ playthrough, you retain:

• Professor Level: Your professor level carries over, granting you more activity points and access to higher-tier facilities from the start.
• Renown: Renown points are carried over, allowing you to purchase valuable items, classes, and abilities from the start.
• Metropolitan Funds: Any remaining funds from your previous playthrough are retained.
• Battalions: All acquired Battalions are carried over.
• Key Items: Certain key items, like Sacred Weapons and unique accessories, may carry over depending on your choices.
• Character Levels and Stats: While units start at their base levels for the beginning of the game, their accumulated experience and stat gains from previous playthroughs can be influenced by NG+ bonuses.

NG+ Optimization Strategies

NG+ offers several avenues for optimization:

• Early Recruitment: With a higher Professor Level and more Renown, you can recruit characters much earlier, often before the first major battle. This allows you to build a stronger, more diverse army from the outset.
• Skill Acquisition: Use Renown to purchase skills like 'Death Blow' or 'Fiendish Blow' early on, significantly boosting your units' combat effectiveness from the beginning.
• Class Mastery: With access to Seals and higher Professor Levels, you can quickly certify units into their desired advanced or master classes, bypassing some of the early-game grind.
• Exploration of Different Routes: NG+ is ideal for experiencing the other story routes with the advantage of your accumulated knowledge and resources.
• Maddening Difficulty: NG+ is almost essential for tackling the Maddening difficulty, as it provides the necessary tools and head start to overcome its challenges.

Utilizing Renown

Renown is your most valuable currency in NG+. Prioritize spending it on:

• Skill Tutors: Purchase skills that significantly boost combat performance.
• Class Seals: Acquire Seals to quickly promote units.
• Battalions: Obtain powerful Battalions to enhance your units' capabilities.
• Professor Level Upgrades: Increase your Professor Level for more activity points and better facility access.
