Fire Emblem: Three Houses – How To Unlock Every Class | All Class Requirements List

/ Features / , , /

Classes are the lifeblood of Fire Emblem: Three Houses — and you’ll constantly work toward unlocking unique new jobs as you teach your students and complete battles. It isn’t always entirely obvious how exactly you’ll need to unlock every class, so we’ve put together a list explaining all the requirements. Seriously, there are a lot of jobs here. In a playthrough, it’s possible to unlock forty or more classes.

Classes are the ‘Jobs’ of Fire Emblem, and things have slightly changed here. Instead of simply using Seals to upgrade your units, classes have specific thresholds you need to hit. By using weapons and training in the classroom, you can upgrade your skills. Once you’ve become good enough at certain skills, you’ll unlock additional classes — to actually unlock them, you need to complete exams.

The best part? Once a class is unlocked, you can reclass at any time. Selecting higher level classes is always better, making the new system simplified for newcomers, while still having some complexity. If you want to pre-plan your army, check out the full list of class requirements below.
