How does cooking work in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes?

sportskeeda.com:

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes brings the iconic Dynasty Warriors format to the beloved newest entry in the Fire Emblem saga. After the rousing success of the Hyrule Warriors games and the first Fire Emblem crossover, adapting Three Houses was an increasingly excellent idea.

The latest Musou game features plenty of the classic hack and slash action fans expect, but there's more to it than just combat. Like in the game that inspired it, the relationship between the game's warriors is important. One of the many ways to interact with fellow fighters is by cooking them a delicious meal.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is all about bringing the beloved characters from Three Houses into a Warriors game. These characters are just as well known for hanging out and having dinner as they are for their skills on the battlefield.

Players will unlock and learn all about the cooking system during the third chapter of the game. This chapter will teach players about the chores system, as well as everything to do with cooking.

After unlocking the chef, players only need to head to the kitchen and request a meal from him. The kitchen is located on the left side of the camp, right next to the Chore Master.

Approaching the kitchen master opens a menu from which players can select a meal and who they'd like to dine with. Players should pick characters with a blue arrow next to their image because they'll get additional benefits from the meal.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes doesn't expect its players to sit down for a meal for the conversation alone. While getting to spend a little time with a favorite character is nice, there are gameplay benefits to cooking.

Cooking provides character bonuses for a variety of useful traits in gameplay.
