Tea Party is one of the unique mechanics of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, where you can invite a student or faculty member for afternoon tea.
Your guest will always accept your invitation and during this moment you will have to choose what kind of tea to offer and the topics of conversation.
You will have 15 seconds to choose each conversation topic, if you choose something interesting for that guest the conversation will continue and if you choose something boring it will slow down the animation or even finish the tea.
After three topics have been correctly chosen, there will be a final answer that you must give to end the conversation.
How to unlock the Tea Party mechanic?
After arriving at the monastery follow the main quest until you reach the second month (Blue Sea Moon). After that, you will have to explore the monastery to get the Tea For Two side quest. Basically, you should enter an Elegant Te Set for someone who is a big Tea fan.
After that, the Tea Party mechanic will be available.
What are the effects of a Tea Party?
- Improves the relationship with the guest.
- There is a chance to increase CHA +1. (The chance is increased if you get the threads and the answer right)
- Getting a ‘Nice’ or ‘Perfect’ Tea Party will also increase the motivation.
