How to Unlock Budding Talents in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Learn about Budding Talents, what they do, which students have them, and which ones don't in this Fire Emblem: Three Houses guide.

Budding Talents are the hidden talents found in the Tutoring Menu of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Byleth instructs students to advance their skills by providing them with XP in their lessons. Training a student with a Budding Talent will make their Neutral Skill a strength. It is your choice to choose from the skill category to give lesson XP to students.

This guide will explain how to unlock budding talents in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which characters have them, and what exactly they do.

How to Unlock Budding Talents in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

When choosing a skill category, you see three stars appearing to the right of the category list; this shows the Budding Talent. It means that the skill category can prove to be a talent and a strength for that skill.

All you have to do now is help the student by giving him some lessons and time so that he can achieve the skill.

You can start with helping that student by training him in the budding talent in that skill category. You have to boost their skill levels in the talent the three stars appear.

In the lessons, you can pick how every understudy will center their studies, guiding them towards their Budding Talents. It can be anything, a sword or an axe. Byleth doesn’t learn along the lines and should be helped to utilize staff preparation in your extra time.

You must keep training the student until all three stars are filled. Once all three stars are filled, that character’s Budding talent skill will be unlocked.
