With the latest wave of DLC to grace Fire Emblem: Three Houses finally out, we’ve had a couple of days to get acquainted with the students of the secret fourth house at Garreg Mach and we’ve gotta say – we’re pretty enamored. Sure, it’s a little past Valentine’s Day, but that doesn’t mean that our romantic dreams have to become memes. Enter the veritable Prince of Abyss, here to steal our hearts into the dark. Here’s our Fire Emblem Three Houses Yuri tea party guide if you’re wanting to make a good impression.

So, you’ve got your eyes set on the leader of the newest faction that’s been introduced in Fire Emblem Three Houses: the Ashen Wolves. Yuri is quite the looker, with a piercing gaze and lavender locks, and a forthrightness about him that we reckon has its unique appeal. If you’re a veteran of the latest in the Fire Emblem series then you’ll already know about the magic of tea parties – both a way to get to know your students and to position yourself as an eligible bachelor or bachelorette, they’re a great bonding exercise that pays off in spades.
