Fire Emblem has always had a social element that has been a hit or a miss for many users. However, to implement this in Warriors from the main series, the Awards mechanic has been introduced.

Typically, these Awards can be gifted to allies to increase their fondness for gamers. But how does it work?

As the relationship between characters increases, they will be granted bonuses in battle. This can make all the difference in more challenging battles where reliance on allies is vital for victory.

Though it may seem small and insignificant to some players, that extra boost to magic or defense can make a huge difference.

While many Awards are gifts that can be given to allies, some can be used in battle to shift the tides in favor of the user's team. While the effects of various rewards are apparent, what some may not know is how they can acquire these Awards.

Luckily, the method of doing so is easier than many gamers may think.

These Awards cannot be acquired directly from battle and can only be claimed at the player's home base. In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, users can claim their earned Awards from an NPC towards the middle of their base.

Finding this character may be hard, but luckily, he stands out.

This NPC can be seen next to a bulletin board in a suit of Knight's armor. For gamers needing even further guidance to find this character, he can be seen exclaiming:

"Be sure to grab your Awards!".

Of course, this exclamation will only appear if readers have Awards they need to claim in the first place.

With this in mind, players now know how to claim their Awards in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Houses. Each Awards description will detail the purpose of each one, whether it be to gift to a character or be used in battle.

Users should always remember the right Award can make a big difference in the heat of battle.
