Hilda is the lazy rich girl no one really liked in High School. Unlike a lot of others, Hilda was born with loads talent but doesn’t put it to use (mostly because she doesn’t have to). She would much rather talk to cute boys and wear cute accessories than put in actual work. She’s not dumb or weak, but she acts like it for her benefit.
Tea parties are one of the easiest ways for Byleth to build up his/her support points with the other characters in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The important part, of course, is to make sure you pick the right options. Here are some things to remember when having a tea party with Hilda.
9 Favorite Tea
Hilda enjoys a wide assortment of tea; unlike most of the other characters, Hilda has four favorite teas. Her favorite teas include the Albinean Berry Blend, Southern Fruit Blend, Mint Leaves, and Rose Petal Blend. All of these are considered sweet and rich teas, which isn’t all that surprising; she doesn’t seem like the kind of person to enjoy bitter tea.
It is also worth noting that, like the Owl Feather, the Hresvelg Blend and Leicester Cortania are both universally favored teas, so it’s always a good idea to have those on hand as well for anyone.
8 Conversations: Anything Cute
If a topic of conversation involves the word “cute” in it, then it’s a safe bet to go with it. Hilda is by far the most ‘girly girl’ in the entirety of Three Houses cast, so it makes sense that anything cute would pique her interest.
So if the topics “Cute Monks” and “Cute accessories” ever come up as options in tea parties with Hilda, be sure to hit those to get those sweet sweet support points.
7 Conversations: Romance
Hilda is basically the female version of Sylvain, so, naturally, she’s very into romance and the handsome men of the monastery. However, there’s no real basis for this need for romance other than that she wants to have a romance with someone special. Because she isn’t required to marry anyone for her crest, she’s free to flirt and be with anyone she wants.
She enjoys talking about things she finds romantic, first crushes, the ideal relationship, dreamy knights, or the courtyard couple, so use those to keep the tea party from falling flat.
6 Conversations: Herself
Unsurprisingly, the self-centered Hilda loves to talk about herself. If an option involves the word “you,” then chances are Hilda wants to talk about it. This list includes a ton of options, and some are “A place you’d like to visit,” “Gifts you’d like to receive,” “You’re doing great work,” “Tell me about yourself,” “Things that bother you,” and several more.
If the tea parties didn’t have to end, she would probably talk about herself for hours. Nothing is wrong with telling someone else about oneself, but Hilda takes it to a whole other level.
5 Conversations: Food
The Golden Deer poster girl likes food and sweets; something to be aware of during a tea party. To be fair, there aren’t many people who don’t like sweets and even fewer people who don’t like food in general. She seems like the type of person to shy away from that sort of topic, but this isn’t the case.
If the options “Dining partners,” “Favorite sweets,” “Food in the dining hall,” “A dinner invitation,” and “Shareable snacks” show up, be sure to talk about those. Then have a meal with Hilda in the dining hall for even more support points!
4 Conversations: Gossip
Some people enjoy a good bit of gossip, and Hilda is one of those people. Talking about others, whether it be good or bad, is a good topic of conversation to pick when having a cup of tea with the Goneril prodigy.
“Reliable allies,” “Evaluating allies,” “Guessing someone’s age,” and “I heard some gossip” are all great options to keep the tea party going with Hilda.
3 Answers: Nod
For most of Hilda’s final comments, just nod. She’s the type of person that just wants whoever she is with to go along with what she is saying, so nodding is the option to go with most of the time (not every time, but most).
Some of her comments include talking about how serious everyone is all the time, asking Byleth to clean her room, saying Byleth should join her on a trip when it’s peaceful, saying that she knows she’ll be safe by Byleth’s side, saying that her mind keeps drifting today, and that she likes to hear herself talk.
2 Answers: Laugh and Sip Tea
After nodding, laughing and sip tea are the best options to go with for tea parties with Hilda. She likes to joke around a lot, and she’s not the type of person to appreciate someone not laughing at her jokes. Otherwise, if she’s not making a joke of sorts or making a comment about someone else, just sit back and have Byleth sip their tea.
Be sure to laugh at her comments that include wishing she could just stay and chat all day, and that she finds the professor easy to talk to since they don’t say much. Laughing is also an alternative to her comment on how serious everyone is. For the sip tea option, it’s the only possible correct answer to Hilda’s question on whether Byleth has ever cried before so keep that in mind.
1 Final Notes
Hilda is one of the most straightforward characters in Three Houses. She’s not very complex when compared to the other characters in the game. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, of course. It’s good to have a few happy-go-lucky characters without also having a tragic backstory.
Her straightforwardness helps during these tea parties since there aren’t topics or answers that come out of nowhere. As long as you’ve seen a few support conversations with Hilda, her tea parties should be a breeze.
