Increase Support Rank

Learn how to increase Support Rank in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes by earning Support Points through various activities like dialogue, cooking, training, and battles.

To increase the Support Rank between characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, you must have them earn Support Points. This is done through various interactions between characters, with Shez being able to A-Rank most other characters. Boosting Support Ranks between other characters requires more planning but generally involves fewer Support Ranks to earn.

Activities that earn Support Points:

• Dialog Choices: Picking dialog options that characters approve of, typically at the start of each Chapter when you first talk to them.
• Cooking Meals: Sharing meals boosts Support Points between all three participants, with Shez gaining more. Cooking a character's favorite meal yields greater Support Points.
• Volunteering: Characters assisting with chores gain Support Points with each other, including Shez.
• Training: Characters training together at the Training Grounds earn Support Points.
• Gifts: Giving a character a Gift boosts their Support Points with Shez, especially if it's a preferred gift.
• Expeditions: Inviting a character on an Expedition earns Support Points for Shez and that character, influenced by response choices. Requires Support Rank C to initiate.
• Battle Suggestions: Accepting a character's Battle Suggestion earns Support Points with Shez.
• Surveying Spots: Some Surveying Spots boost Support Points when explored, often requiring a chosen participant.
• Participating in Battles: All characters in a victorious battle (Main Quest, Side Quest, Extra Quest, or replayed battles) earn Support Points.
• Heal Another Character: Using healing magic on another unit in battle earns Support Points between those two characters, once per battle.
• Assigned as an Adjutant: Earning Support Points with an Adjutant when defeating an enemy officer or performing a Partner Special, once per battle.

What Increasing Support Rank Does:

Raising Support Ranks provides several benefits, particularly when characters work together as Adjutants. An Adjutant boosts the stats of the character they are assigned to, with the specific stats and magnitude of the boost depending on the Adjutant's class and Support Rank. Higher Support Ranks also increase the fill rate of the Adjutant Attack Gauge, making them more likely to intervene in combat, and boost the fill rate of the Adjutant Guard Gauge.
