RELATED: Fire Emblem Engage: How to Change Classes
Once reaching level ten of the nineteen base classes available to each unit, the player can then upgrade that character’s class to one of the advanced classes available to it as long as they have the proficiency to become it. With so many advanced classes available and few Master Seals provided for free, these are by far the best advanced classes to unlock. It’s important to note that some of these classes are exclusive to late-game characters.
10 Berserker
Masters of the Axe, the Berserker class is a brilliant-advanced class that focuses on having a lot of health and strength. This unit hopes to tank the hits of an enemy with little armor while also being able to pack a brutal hit when approaching.
Units that start off as the base class of Axe Warrior such as Boucheron are able to level up instantly to this advanced class as it doesn’t require them to have a proficiency in any other weapon. This then leads them to have an S proficiency in axes and therefore allows them to equip the strongest of that type.
9 Griffin Knight
Flying units are a great way to have mobility while advancing across the map in Fire Emblem Engage. The Griffin Knight is an old class that hasn’t been playable since Fire Emblem Awakening. Now players are able to advance their flyer base class characters into this well-diverse unit for being great attackers as well as mobile healers.
Griffin Knights have well-rounded stats that can either be helped or hindered depending on the character attached to them. For example, Chloe has a great avoidance stat which means she’s more likely to dodge a hit but a poor defense.
8 Mage Knight
Mage units are also another highly requested class to have on the field at all times, especially with such a wide variety of spells to be used as well as armored opposing units being highly vulnerable to them. Mage Knights are able to balance power behind spells as well as being proficient in a melee weapon.

This opens up the Mage Knight to take part in various combat situations due to behind strong against a wide variety of foes. Especially if taking on an opponent that uses magic the skill Chaos Style will increase the speed of the unit allowing them to possibly attack twice.
7 Sleipnir Rider
As an advanced class that is exclusive to Hortensia, players will want to unlock this one-of-a-kind class for the second Princess of Elusia. Due to being highly skilled in both staffs and spells, Hortensia is a great unit to put on the map if the player is sure they will be avoiding archers.
Because of her Pegasus mount and magical past, Hortensia has a high avoidance stat that makes her great for defending against mages while also being able to get a clean hit off on opposing forces. Not to mention that her S-rank proficiency with staffs means she is able to use some of the most powerful abilities in the game that go well past just healing.
6 Wyvern Knight
Another great flying unit that players should consider completing their roster with is the great and powerful Wyvern Knight class. While Wyvern Knights may not specialize highly in a weapon sharing a variant of two melee weapons at rank B, this doesn’t stop it from being an unrelenting unit to use.
Besides, hitting hard and easily avoiding attacks due to their swiftness, these Wyvern Knights can also be incredibly vulnerable to certain attacks. As flying units, they are subjected to great damage from bows, though riding on Wyverns also means they must avoid those wielding weapons that have an advantage over these units.
5 Wolf Knight
Introduced in Fire Emblem Engage, this new class has already made a name for itself with fans of the franchise due to the incredible power it has in battle. Those that reach level ten of a base class in the wide variety of cavalier unit classes can advance in level to a Wolf Knight as long as they are proficient in Knives.

Not only are Wolf Knights incredibly fast allowing them to hit more than once on many occasions. They are also very lucky, which means the unit equipped has a higher chance of getting a crit on an enemy.
4 General
Some battles that lack opponents that can use magic will require units that are able to tank hits from foes while taking little to no damage from them. That’s exactly what the General Advanced Class role is.
Slowly advancing on archers that can do damage as well as other melee weapons leads the enemy into taking a brutal hit. Generals are great for drawing the attention of a group of opponents so that other forces can attack as well as on some occasions soloing a whole area of units by themselves.
3 Cupido
Another exclusive advanced class that can only be unlocked by Fogado, this class is essentially a Bow Knight with more style. Fogado is able to easily make his way around the map due to riding on horseback while also being highly skilled with both a bow and a sword.

As the name Cupido may suggest, such as cupid, Fogado is masterfully dexterous which allows him to not only always hit his shots but also makes him highly likely to get critical hits on the enemies he faces. Therefore, equipping him with something like a Killer Bow will push this likelihood of hitting a crit even further.
2 High Priest
High Priests also deserve a moment of appreciation in Fire Emblem Engage, as these units are by far one of the most diverse when it comes to weaponry. These units not only can attack with combat arts but also spells, while still being able to use staffs in order to support their fellow allies.
While their defense may be quite poor, High Priests are more likely to dodge incoming attacks than survive them if they are hit by them. Players may still wish to use them from a distance as their spells are far more powerful than their punches.
1 Divine Dragon
Unsurprisingly the most powerful advanced class available is the one the main character Alear can advance to once reaching level ten of Dragon Child. As Alear is the character that is required to survive the whole story it makes sense that many of their skills focus on keeping them alive.
However, the Divine Dragon also packs a mean hit, and once advancing to this class, they not only can tactfully wield swords but also have the option to use combat arts to take on archers, mages, and thieves.
Fire Emblem Engage is currently available on Switch.
