So you’ve decided to take our advice and level up some of your students’ Budding Talents in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Looks like our Budding Talent guide was good for something after all! Or, perhaps, you’ve decided that Byleth needed a little more firepower and that unlocking her Budding Talent would help her tank ten enemies solo instead of five? Whatever your motivations are, you’re definitely going to find our Fire Emblem Three Houses Budding Talent list helpful — it’s a complete collection of who has hidden talents, and what their eventual bonuses are.
Fire Emblem Three Houses Budding Talent List — All Available Hidden Talents
It’s probably important to get one thing out of the way: not every single student has a Budding Talent. That doesn’t mean that the kids who don’t have one are inherently inferior on the battlefield in some way, it’s just how things shake out. Again, levelling these Budding Talents is an optional activity, so we’ll let you be the judge once you check out the list of Talents and bonuses below as to whether or not the grind is worth it.

Remember, your students’ Budding Talents will often be underdeveloped skills, or skills that they’re actually bad at, so it’s definitely going to be a long, hard slog.
