Embarking on a New Game Plus (NG+) in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes allows you to carry over certain elements from your previous playthrough, making subsequent runs more efficient and offering new strategic possibilities. The most significant carryover is your accumulated Renown. Renown is a meta-currency earned throughout your playthroughs that can be spent at the camp to unlock various benefits, such as new facilities, increased item drop rates, or even permanent stat boosts for your characters. When you start a NG+ file, your total Renown from previous games is preserved, allowing you to immediately access a wider range of camp upgrades and bonuses from the outset.
Additionally, characters will retain their learned abilities and combat arts. This means that if you've spent considerable time mastering classes and unlocking skills for characters like Dimitri or Claude, they will retain those learned abilities on your NG+ playthrough. This allows you to experiment with different class combinations or focus on building specialized characters from the beginning without needing to re-grind for basic skills. However, character levels and weapon proficiencies will reset to their base values at the start of the game, requiring you to level them up again. This ensures that the early game still presents a challenge, while the retained abilities provide a strategic advantage.
The game also allows you to carry over your collected gold and materials. This means you can immediately purchase better weapons, upgrade your equipment, or craft useful items from the very beginning of your NG+ journey. This is particularly helpful for tackling higher difficulty settings or for completing optional objectives that might have been challenging on your first playthrough. While story progress resets, and you'll need to re-experience the narrative and make new choices, the ability to retain Renown, learned abilities, and resources significantly streamlines the NG+ experience. This encourages players to explore different story paths, such as the Golden Wildfire route, or to aim for perfect S-rank clears on every mission with the advantage of their accumulated progress.
