—Shez, to Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude
A Chance Encounter is the first chapter of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. This tutorial chapter introduces Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, and teaches the player how to control and give orders to a party of multiple units, as well as the effects of the primary Weapon Triangle. Shez starts out in their unique class, Fluegel, for this chapter.
Story[]
After their defeat by Byleth, Shez awakens again in Barnabas Woods in Empire territory. Arval reminds Shez that they nearly killed themselves multiple times in the past six months due to their recklessness. Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, students of the Officers Academy, are also lost in the woods on their way to Remire Village.
