Fire Emblem: Three Houses Class Guide: Best Classes, Class Change Certification Requirements, Skills, Abilities and Class Mastery

Classes are a key part in any Fire Emblem game, and that's no different for Fire Emblem: Three Houses. However, while in previous games you could just use the appropriate Seal item at the appropriate level, the mechanics of Three Houses are a little different.  In this guide, we explain some of the nuances to class changes, as well as detail the various components for each class in the game.

Most importantly, in order to have a character promote to a higher point on the class tree, or even to reach master class, they must first pass a Class Certification Exam - that's this game's method of doing a class change. But before we talk about Classes, you need to understand skills and abilities.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Skills, Abilities, and Combat Arts

What is the difference between Skills, Abilities, and Combat Arts? At a glance, those three words might seem interchangeable, but they refer to specifically different systems in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Here we describe what these are.

Skills in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Skills in Fire Emblem: Three Houses work somewhat similarly to the Weapon Skills in previous games in the series, but the system has been expanded. There are 11 Skills in the game:

• Sword
• Lance
• Axe
• Bow
• Brawl
• Reason (Black and Dark Magic)
• Faith (White Magic)
• Authority (Battalion abilities)
• Heavy Armor
• Riding
• Flying

Each Skill can rank from E to S+. These ranks can increase both by a character using the particular weapon type in combat, or by through Instruction from Byleth on Lecture days. Ranking up in a Skill opens up more Abilities or Combat Arts for the character to use, and they become more proficient in using that weapon. Certain Skill ranks are also needed to pass Class Certification Exams.

The Abilities and Combat Arts learned at different skill levels can vary from character to character which might directly effect which characters you target for recruitment. Some characters also have what's known as a Budding Talent or Hidden Talent that means they have a natural, hidden affinity to a particular skill if you want to train them in it.

Combat Arts

Combat Arts showed up in previous Fire Emblem games, like Shadows of Valentia, as Arts. Combat Arts are actions a unit can take during combat with special effects. These actions cost more durability than normal attacks. These abilities can be learned through Skill Levels, Class Mastery, and some other means.

Abilities

Abilities are passive bonuses set on a character. Each character has a unique Personal Ability that is active at all times. Each class also has inherent abilities available to any unit of that class; for example, every Cavalier has the Canto ability, which allows them to move again after making an action. Then, five more abilities can be freely set by the player. These abilities can be learned through Skill Levels, Class Mastery, and some other means.

What are the Best Classes in Fire Emblem: Three Houses?

A lot of people have been asking us this question since it isn't exactly directly addressed in our sprawling Fire Emblem: Three Houses guide, but let us just put it out there: there is no single best class in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. There isn't a list of best classes either, unless you count the general list of Master Classes that you'll unlock and be able to use in the late game. Three Houses is an open-ended, strategic game - and it's balanced well enough that any class can be super powerful and very viable - it just depends on exactly how you want to play it.

Despite natural Hidden Talents (aka Budding Talents) each character has in certain skills and their starting stats giving them a solid start point for certain classes, any character can change class to any class if you fulfil the requirements. The natural stats will mean that there is a natural best class for each character, but the truth is that the stat difference is negligable - we suggest you ignore it and instead go with characters you like in roles that fit. Most importantly, you should work to have a well-balanced team, with mages, strong up-close melee fighters, some ranged characters and ideally a thief so you can steal key items.

Class Certification Exams: how to change class in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Each class has certain Skill requirements in order for a character to change class and become that class. For example, a Cavalier (an Intermediate class, so level 10 required) requires Lance Skill C and Riding Skill D. If your unit meets those requirements, they can take the exam and pass with 100% success. The Certification Requirements for each class can be found below. Aside from fulfilling the requirements, a class change will also require a seal, a special item used for class changes. Seals can be found as loot and purchased in a limited quantity, and come in different tiers that in turn unlock higher-end, better classes.

If you have a unit close to those Lance and Riding Skill ranks, but not quite there yet, you can still have them take the class certification exam. However, their chance of passing falls the further away the unit is from the requirements. A unit with a D+ in Lances might still have a good shot of passing.

It should also be noted the Class Certification exams cannot easily be abused by save scumming. If a unit fails an exam, you cannot keep resetting in the hopes of eventually passing. You can save yourself a wasted Seal item, though, if you save before a failed Cert Exam.

How to get Class Mastery Bonuses: when you should class change and promote units to higher classes?

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is fairly flexible in its class system. Once a character passes a Certification Exam for a class, they can become that class at any time afterward. If a unit passes Certification for both Cavalier and Pegasus Knight, they can change between the two classes whenever you choose (just not in the middle of a battle).

Now to answer the question "when should I change class and promote?" the best answer might be: when your unit masters the class they currently are. Each class in the game has its own EXP meter completely separate from unit EXP. Whenever a unit takes an action as that class, that Class EXP meter fills slightly. When the Class EXP meter fills to full, that Unit earns the Class Mastery Bonus for that class, which can usually then be used freely by that character no matter what class they become down the line.

Sometimes the Class Mastery Bonus is an Ability, and sometimes it is a Combat Art. You can find these in the data below.

Below can be found the nuts & bolts information for each class available in the game. Here you can find what abilities are inherent to each class, what the class mastery abilities are, the certification requirements, as well as the skill experience bonuses (a boost to these skills when used by that class in combat.)

This guide is in progress. Note some class names may contain what you might regard as spoilers.
