Every class includes a special Mastery Skill you can unlock in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. While you’ll probably know some of these Mastery Skills, others are a lot harder (and more time-consuming) to unlock. Here, you’ll find a complete list of all the Master Skills in the game — there’s one for each class, and some of these skills are incredibly useful. Once a class is Mastered, you’ll keep this bonus skill permanently, even when you switch classes. Depending on your character, some of these Mastery Skills are absolutely worth unlocking.
Weirdly, not every class has a Mastery Skill to unlock. Most of the early classes do, but later classes sometimes do not. Most of the Master (Lvl 30+) classes are based on mounts — either horses, wyverns, or Pegasus. You’ll have to focus on training your students in mounted skills if you want to unlock those classes in the late-game, and most of their Mastery Skills are based on having less than 25% health. That’s some serious risk, but handy to remember when dealing with boss foes.
