The Officers Academy in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is not just a place of learning but also a hub for developing your students' potential through various teaching and instruction methods. This guide explores the different ways you can impart knowledge, hone skills, and foster relationships, ensuring your students are prepared for the trials ahead.
Professor's Instruction
As the professor, you have direct control over your students' development. During free time, you can engage in activities like 'Teach' to directly improve a student's skill in a specific weapon type or magic. This is a reliable way to boost proficiency, which is essential for class advancement and learning new combat arts.
Seminars and Lectures
Throughout the academic year, various seminars and lectures are held. Attending these events provides significant boosts to specific skills or even grants unique abilities. For example, a 'Lance Seminar' might increase Lance proficiency for all attendees, while a 'History Lecture' could boost Charm. Prioritize attending seminars that al with your units' development goals.
Battles and Training
Auxiliary battles and training sessions are crucial for practical experience. Participating in these not only earns experience points and potentially valuable items but also allows students to practice their combat skills. The Training Grounds allow you to ass students to specific training regimens, improving their chosen skills over time.
Skill Acquisition
Skills are learned through a combination of class progression, weapon proficiency, and sometimes through specific events or items. Each class grants access to certain skills upon certification. For instance, mastering the 'Fighter' class might unlock 'Axebreaker,' while reaching a high Sword proficiency could unlock 'Swordfaire.' These skills provide passive bonuses or active abilities that enhance combat effectiveness.
Combat Arts
Combat Arts are powerful, weapon-specific techniques that consume durability but offer significant advantages in battle. They are learned by reaching certain weapon proficiency levels or through class advancements. For example, a high Sword proficiency might unlock 'Swift Strikes,' allowing for two attacks, while a high Lance proficiency could unlock 'Lance Jab' for a guaranteed hit.
