Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave classes unlock through ranks, quests and shrines
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave uses a tiered class system, but some classes require more than reaching a new rank.
The game involves characters who begin as commoners or nobles and can later move into more specialized classes.
New tiers open at certain renown levels, and changing class requires a certification license and passing an exam.
Some intermediate classes have extra conditions, while master-rank classes require completing quests in Act 3.
The final tier, including secret Divine classes, is hidden in shrines that become accessible very late in the game.
Exam chances depend on a character’s level and skill ranks, so waiting until the chance of passing is at least 75% is advised.
Players can choose classes based on the abilities and growth potential they want, and can return to earlier classes later.
The game’s guide to class unlocks was updated to revise the Blacksmith requirements.
