Fire Emblem: Three Houses offers you a very important choice in Chapter 1 - you must choose one of Fire Emblem's 3 houses to lead at the Garreg Mach Monastery. Your choice here will determine how the story progresses through Part One and into Part Two when war ravages the land of Fodlan.
•At a glance - the Black Eagles have the most magic classes, but have few dedicated mounted units.
•The Blue Lions have many cavalry-oriented characters, but not as many are skilled in longer range attacks.
•The Golden Deer have many units that make great archers and can be trained well in various skills, but are low on dedicated unit types.
Video: Which House Should You Choose in Fire Emblem: Three Houses?
Each of the three houses includes a roster of eight students (including the young lord that acts as House Leader who will someday lead their respective nation). While many characters can be recruited to join your house over the course of Part One, some cannot be convinced to join.

Each of the Lords of the different houses each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and while they may start off fairly similar, they can easily grow into quite different characters.
Edelgard is unique among the other Lords for a very specific reason - She will quickly reveal that she has the power of two Crests - the Minor Crest of Seiros and the Crest of Flames - allowing her to both raise damage using Combat Arts, and also restore health when attacking and even stop counterattacks at times. As her default class goals go, she will become an Armored Lord by Act 2 that boasts a tough defense as well as a strong offense, though she can also be trained in the use of magic as well - which may require her to be reclassed as needed. By Act 2, her Personal Ability will change to Imperial Lineage+, which grants her +4 Res if she waits, allowing her to withstand magic attacks in her armored form.
Dimitri's Minor Crest of Blaiddyd allows him to sometimes double his attack and weapon uses during Combat Arts, which can make him an extremely damaging force if protected well. He will become a High Lord by Act 2, l, and can further his high strength and dexterity, but his lower defense and resistance means he'll need protection. His Personal Ability will also grow to Royal Lineage+, granting him an extra +20 Avoid when at full HP. He can also make use of his budding talent to become a fast-moving Paladin to move at a quicker pace with the rest of the cavalry in the Blue Lions.
Claude's Minor Crest of Riegan can help heal him in battle when using combat arts, making him a great unit for hit and run attacks when combined with his bow proficiency. In Act 2, he will become a Wyvern Master to further his range and sniping skills, and will most likely gain more Dexterity and Speed as a result, but he might be the physically weakest of the Lords on his own. His personal ability will expand to Leicester Lineage+, and allow him to move through enemy units to attack behind enemy lines, further cementing his role to snipe risky targets and flee. Unlike the other Lords, his budding talent for Axes won't directly clash with his default class upgrades.
Of the Three Houses, Byleth is able to pursue an S-Rank romance support relationship with any character, but some characters can only be romanced in their own house as they cannot be recruited, and others may be easier if your character does not have to meet certain criteria to recruit from another house.
Characters in Bold are exclusive to the Black Eagles House and cannot be recruited. Characters in red support a bisexual female romance, and characters in blue support a bixsexual male romance.

There is actually another somewhat hidden path that does not follow any of the Three Houses. This path can only be undertaken by joining the Black Eagles. However, near the end of Part One, you are given a warning of an important choice to aid Edelgard.
If you refuse when asked, you will instead defend the Church of Seiros from the Adrestian Empire, and lose access to both Edelgard and Hubert in the process. During the war, your true objective will be to uncover the forces behind the scenes, those who Slither in Dark, and uncover their schemes against the Church of Seiros. While longer than Edelgard's path, Silver Snow only lasts 9 Chapters and Missions in Part Two.
- You’re Supposed To Replay. If you’ve considered all of the above and you’re still on the fence about which House to choose then keep in mind that this game is meant to be played more than once.
- You Can Recruit Almost Anyone. It’s been mentioned briefly already but you are capable of recruiting any student from any House given enough time and attention.
- Anyone Can Become Anything. While each House has their focus and innate talents it’s important to note that anyone can become anything under your tutelage.
- Romance Options. Speaking of students and House Leaders you should also keep in mind that it’s possible to develop a romantic relationship with these individuals if you choose.
