Promote at Level 20 - HP: 43 (bumps to 44) ATK: 22 SKILL: 23 SPD: 35 LCK: 22 DEF: 16 RES: 7 MOV: 5 (bumps to 7)Īs you can see, his stats as a Level 1 Dread Fighter will be notably better if I wait until Level 20 before promotion, but as noted earlier his EXP gain as a high level Myrmidon will be less than his EXP gains as a fresh-faced Level 1 Dread Fighter. In order to recruit this Fire Emblem Echoes character, you need to speak to him at the Forest Village Plaza. I decide to get him to a Level 20 Myrmidon before promotion, and here are his stats now: Promote at Level 11 - HP: 39 (bumps to 40) ATK: 19 SKILL: 20 SPD: 28 LCK: 19 DEF: 14 RES: 7 MOV: 5 (bumps to 7) I can promote him now to a Dread Fighter, but should I wait? His stats already pass the Dread Fighter minimum stats: Each class in Shadows of Valentia has benefits that specialize in certain areas. Whether they are Mages, Pegasus Knights or Barons, each character has a class to start as when your journey begins. Gaining EXP at levels 18 through 20 will take much longer for a small stat gain than if you promote early and gain EXP as a newly-promoted, fresh-faced level 1 class.Ī specific example of the results of holding off on a class promotion are also given in that guide: Characters in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia are organized by class. However, you may still want to wait before you promote - but know that if you do it'll take a lot of grinding in order to see a real benefit. Compared to previous Fire Emblem games it is thus a bit of a no-brainer that you might want to promote classes immediately. This is thanks to how stats are bumped up to a unit minimum and because it's harder to gain experience (EXP) at high levels in Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia. This guide goes pretty in-depth about the subject.įirst off, there is definitely less of a reason to wait to promote than in previous Fire Emblem games. However, since Villagers are so weak, it may be best for you to class them sooner, in order to fill the gaps in your team sooner, as the soft cap in experience gain makes the grind to 20 take a while. Technically, the optimal time to class a Villager is at the level cap, 20.
