Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave New Game Plus Guide
The Boons of Salvation replay engine and permanent upgrades across Hero routes
New Game Plus in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave
Fortune’s Weave does not offer a traditional New Game+ slot. Instead, it implements a replay engine built directly into the single continuous save file: you can revisit any chapter from Part I through Part III while carrying forward certain progress through the Boons of Salvation shop. This system rewards players who complete full Hero routes with increasingly powerful permanent bonuses—including experience boosts up to 50 percent that unlock only after finishing an entire path.
This guide explains how the replay system works, what carries over, how Boons of Salvation functions, and how to maximize your build across multiple runs.
How the Replay System Works
After defeating the final boss, Fortune’s Weave takes you back to just before the climactic battle. From that point, you can select any chapter from the beginning through the end of the game, though you can also decide to replay Part I or Part II beforehand if you wish. If you jump from the end all the way back to an early chapter, you retain the permanent upgrades purchased from Boons of Salvation but lose story-specific progress from that point forward.
The key distinction: there is only one save file per game, and no separate New Game+ menu option. The replay functionality unlocks during Part I and becomes your primary tool for exploring alternate Hero routes and maximizing character potential.
For chapter navigation, see the dedicated walkthrough pages: Cai Route, Dietrich Route, Theodora Route, and Leda Route.
What Carries Over
The Boons of Salvation shop sells permanent upgrades using achievement points you earn throughout your playthrough. Unlike traditional New Game+ systems that carry inventory and levels, Fortune’s Weave focuses on passive bonuses that make subsequent runs more efficient.
Confirmed Carry-Over Elements
- Boons of Salvation purchases — All bought permanent upgrades persist across replays
- Achievement points — Earned through gameplay actions, these accumulate across the entire save file
- Character support levels — Existing bond ranks between characters carry forward
- Class certification progress — Characters retain their certified classes across replays
- Renown level — Your overall progression tier carries over
What Does Not Carry Over
- Chapter-by-chapter story progress (you restart from chosen chapter)
- Inventory and equipment
- Current party composition and deployment
- Gold and item resources
- Blaze Gauge state and HP values
Boons of Salvation Shop Details
The Boons of Salvation shop is the core of Fortune’s Weave’s replay incentive system. Players spend accumulated achievement points on permanent bonuses that apply to every subsequent playthrough.
Boon Categories
The shop stocks several categories of upgrades:
- Experience Boosts — Increase EXP gain from battles. The most powerful variants (up to 50 percent bonus) unlock only after completing a full Hero route
- Support Boosts — Accelerate support point accumulation between characters
- Class Mastery Boons — Reduce certification exam difficulty or grant bonus skill ranks
- Combat Boons — Various battlefield advantages that persist across runs
Unlocking Higher Boons
Critical Boons with significant effects—particularly the highest-tier experience multipliers—require you to finish an entire Hero route first. This design encourages players to complete at least one full path before the replay system reveals its most powerful options.
For Support mechanics that interact with these boons, read Supports and Romance. For class certification synergy, see Beginner Classes and Advanced Classes.
Strategic Recommendations
First Playthrough Priorities
- Focus on learning one Hero route thoroughly before worrying about Boons
- Accumulate achievement points naturally through exploration and optional content
- Prioritize purchasing experience boosts first— they compound across multiple replays
- Complete at least one full route to unlock the highest-tier Boons
Multi-Route Optimization
After your first complete run:
- Return to early chapters on a different Hero route
- Leverage your purchased Boons to accelerate the new path
- Target different character supports and class certifications
- Accumulate additional achievement points for more Boons
Boon Investment Order
Recommended purchase sequence:
- Experience Boost (Tier 1) — Foundation for faster subsequent runs
- Support Boost — Accelerate relationship building with limited gameplay time
- Experience Boost (Tier 2) — Once available after first completion
- Class Mastery Boons — Reduce certification grind on future runs
- Combat Boons — Personal preference based on playstyle
Comparison with Previous Fire Emblem Titles
Fortune’s Weave’s approach differs from Three Houses, which featured a traditional NG+ with inventory carry-over, and Engage, which used a more straightforward inheritance system. The Boons of Salvation design deliberately gates the most powerful rewards behind full route completion while still allowing chapter-level replay from the start.
This hybrid approach rewards completionists while keeping the replay accessible. Players who want to experience all four Hero routes can do so efficiently with proper Boon investment, while those focused on a single path still receive meaningful permanent upgrades.
