Fire Emblem Engage: Should You Gift Horse Manure?

Believe it or not, there’s a time-honored tradition in RPGs and that tradition is horse shit. Literally. From Dragon Quest and on, there’s some form of horse manure that can make its way into your inventory. Usually it’s a gag item that’s completely worthless, doing nothing but taking up inventory space for a laugh. But in Fire Emblem Engage, horse manure is considered… a gift item? Are there any characters in Fire Emblem Engage who actually appreciate being given a bushel of road apples? Let’s find out.
