Changing classes in Fire Emblem games has always been important, allowing units to unlock new skills and abilities. Fire Emblem: Three Houses is no different, but the class system has been majorly overhauled for this game. If you think it’s as simple as popping an item once someone hits level 20, think again.

Class Tips
By the time you reach level 30 and become a Master Class, you can see all the classes and have an understanding of their respective requirements and benefits.
You can start assigning skills at this point as well so we recommend you do so in accordance with your preferred class.
Allocate skills in a way that makes your team match your preferred playstyle and strategy. For example, if your usual strategy is to lure enemies out before pouncing on them then be sure to have units with high defense.
