Fire Emblem Engage is more than just constantly jumping into battles. While traveling to different regions across the map, you will have the option to cook in Fire Emblem Engage and dine with your allies. Fire Emblem Engage cooking will give you a chance to take a break and improve your relationships while also allowing you to improve your stats for the next battle.
Before moving any further, you must know where to dine. To dine with any party member in FE Engage, you need to head to Cafe Terrace. After getting there, you can access the menu and a list of the team members you can have dinner with. The dining menu can be accessed by going to the character beside the counter.
The following guide will tell you how to cook in Fire Emblem Engage, what dining does, and what meals best suit your characters to improve their stats.
How to cook meals
Once you have reached Cafe Terrace in Somniel, you can cook meals. Don’t get confused as technically the chef would be cooking on behalf of your instruction and orders.
Follow the simple steps below:
- After getting to the Cafe Terrace, access the menu beside the counter.
- The first thing you need to do is to choose the two partners that will have dinner with you in Cafe Terrace.
- The next and most important thing is choosing the food from the list of 130 dishes. Take note that not every dish is liked by each partner and select only which is liked by them.
- Then, add the main ingredients, extra ingredients, and topping according to your choice.
- After choosing all the options mentioned above, FE Engage will ask you to confirm. Soon after that, you will start cooking along with the chef.
After you have finished the meal with the partners, you can get Bento or Leftovers if you have added extra ingredients to the menu. Once stored in the inventory, the leftovers can be used mid-battles to buff up the stats.
What does dining do in Fire Emblem Engage?
You must wonder what benefits dining gives you. Let us answer you, depending on the meal that you have prepared and the number of extra ingredients and toppings, you and your party members will receive temporary buffs. The stats will set your party right up before the battle.
After having dinner with the partner, your support level with them will increase. The higher your support levels are, the more stats, buffs, and battle bonuses will be received after the battle.
