OTHER TIPS:
Gauntlets are good to equip because they have a low weight while still letting your units counter-attack.

For physical attackers, to maximize their AS (Attack Speed), you can un-equip their weapon. For magic users, you can have them equip non-attacking Faith magic such as Heal.

When you borrow students, while they don't gain experience, you can have them freely use combat arts and their recovery items, and their uses will replenish between battles.

If Sylvain is in your party, you can acquire the Lance of Ruin after Chapter 5 by saying no to Rhea when she asks you to return it.

COMBAT ARTS I FORGOT TO MENTION OR DIDN'T INCLUDE:
I forgot to mention Claude's combat art from class mastery: Wind God.
It hits from 2-5 range, adding 5 might and 20 hit for 3 durability. It's great, and you get it from mastering Barbarossa.
It's not really applicable until late into the timeskip, so you don't need to worry about it for most of the game.

I also didn't mention relic combat arts. A lot of characters have them, but the two most immediately notable ones are Ruined Sky for Sylvain, and Fallen Star for Claude. You can see more details about relic combat arts here:

I recommend planting pale blue (speed) and purple (strength) seeds the most. Speed helps avoid taking follow-up attacks, helps dish them out more, and raises your Avoid stat. Growing purple seeds to hit as hard as possible, especially with brave combat arts, helps deal with enemies a lot. It depends which one you need more, but the other options are also worth considering.

Here are various guides about specific mechanics such as base stats, growth rates, tea party answers, crests, weapons, combat arts, learned spells & skills, and how aspects of the monastery work:

Here is a list of paralogues, which includes DLC characters such as the Ashen Wolves:
https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Paralogue_Maps_in_Fire_Emblem:_Three_Houses
The characters required for each paralogue are listed. Note that while you often have to have them recruited to unlock the paralogue, this isn't always the case. You can click on the paralogue names to get more information about the rewards, map items, and enemies.

If you want to recruit specific characters for the rewards their paralogues offer, you can do that, but I don't feel that makes or breaks any character enough to justify mentioning it in the main video, and I want to keep it simple. It is made for beginners to Maddening who have a handle on Three Houses already. I don't want to over-complicate things, and a lot of them will already have a general idea of which paralogues they like or dislike.

For text-based guides, if you are on a computer, you can press CTRL+F and specific terms or phrases in order to find matching terms on a webpage.

Mobile browsers also tend to have a similar option tucked away to the side.

Hopefully this Fire Emblem: Three Houses guide for building a team to complete the Golden Deer/Verdant Wind route is helpful for you.
