Gift-giving in Fire Emblem games is a core staple, letting party members connect and giving tangible perks. While Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave removes the romantic aspect of support levels, it doesn’t change the fact that boosting support levels is vital for recruiting new roster members and boosting stats for allies standing next to each other in combat.
Where things get tricky with Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave is deciding which gift to give and when the best time is to do so. If you want to unlock as many S-Support Ranking endings as possible when you finish the campaign, then here is the lowdown on everything gift- and support-level-related. We also have plenty of other Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave tips for everything else, from optimizing how you use free time to tactical techniques for battles.
The player has the option to gift a Saraminian Sweets item to a potential recruit.
How to increase support levels in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave
Talking to an NPC with a name above their head is usually a good indication that you can recruit them if you’re persistent enough. You can only give one item to any character (recruited or not) once a week, so you need to choose carefully. You can tell how well an item works in increasing your support level by the prompt you receive:
“They really liked it”, with two yellow arrows on-screen – double the amount of points they would gain for a big support item. (This is their favorite gift)
“They really liked it” – big support gained.
“They liked it” – a moderate amount of support gained.
“They kind of like it” – a small amount of support gained.
“They don’t like it” – no support gained.
In addition, you can also increase a non-party member character’s support link by inviting them to eat meals as a guest. You will always have access to the menu ahead of time, and by looking at a character’s likes, you may get an idea of what food is their favorite. If their name has two stars in gold, it’s a good chance they’ll love the dish. You can invite them up to the number of available dishes per week, though it’s possible they might not like what’s on the menu at all, so have some backup choices to get the most out of your culinary social networking.
Once an ally enters your service, you can also increase support levels a smidge by attacking or healing next to another party member, inviting them to dinner, training with them in the arena, and many more.
The town has plenty of gifts, including some Common Coffee that’s enjoyed by those who love the strong beverage.

How to increase the support Level with the protagonist
There are many different questions per character, too many to list here, so instead we’ll give you a tip on how you should be answering these questions: know the character’s vibe before going in. For example, for each of the Flame Lords, Cai is a rather innocent fellow, but he is also quite modest, so overacting won’t boost your support level.
The other Flame Lords need different mindsets to get their approval. Dietrich would rather you act as a like-minded rival who understands the beauty of the world; Theodora wants you to embrace her nostalgia and reassure her that her desires are the same as the will of the kingdom she rules; and Leda wants you to share in her experiences and be a good friend. Your protagonist can also vibe with other party members and bequeath the same benefits, so learn their personalities by reading their character bio so you work out which answers are best for them.
Dietrich is talking to Esmeralda about the sweet treats that are now gone.
Best Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave gift types for each character
With so many different gift types, it can be a bit of a minefield to determine which ones are best for each character. While not all of these characters are recruitable for every character, you can still give gifts to them for later in the campaign.
There are some gifts that each person vibes with the most, which we will list first for each character, but then there are types of items they will accept for a smaller increase to your support link.
