All about classes and requirements to change them in Fire Emblem Engage

Unit classes in Fire Emblem Engage can be changed into two levels: Basic and Advanced Class.

You will be at the Basic level when you start the game. Once you reach level 20, you can promote your units to the Advanced tier.

Do note that when you promote your unit class from the base to the Advance tier, the level will reset to one. This means your character is powerful, but you need to start leveling up the advanced tier now.

Three requirements need to be satisfied before you can change your class. This includes your unit level, weapon proficiency, and seals.

Unit Level

If you wish to change your class, you need to be on an adequate level. In the case of a base class, there is no level requirement as such. This means you can change a unit’s base class to a new one without any level constraints.

Speaking of an advanced class, you need to reach level 10 in that particular base class before being able to change classes.

For example, if you wish to become a Berserker, you must first reach level 10 in the base class Axe Fighter. Once you reach that level in the base class, you can promote your unit to an advanced one. Thus, you need to decide on all the unit classes appropriately before sticking to one.

Weapon Proficiency

To convert your unit into a different class, you will also need to satisfy the weapon proficiency criteria associated with it. In the case of Berserker, you will have to increase your axe proficiency. One way to increase weapon proficiency is to improve your bond level with Emblems.

This can be done by training in the Arena in Somniel with that Emblem.
