A good example of this is Anna. She is a side character you can find while playing the main story and appears in a Paralogue, an optional mission where you can recruit her.

She initially starts as an Axe Fighter, and given the breakdown of her stats, it’s likely one of the worst options for her. However, based on her growth stats, Anna is one of the most powerful magic users in Fire Emblem Engage, meaning if she can reach level 10 as an Axe Fighter, you can use a Second Seal on her to turn her into another Magic-based class, making her far more useful to you and your party. Getting to that point can take a good deal of time.

You will want to keep this in mind while playing Fire Emblem Engage and make sure you keep track of a character’s base stats each time they level up. If you’re looking to change a character’s class, we recommend waiting until they reach the minimum level, or if they’re already set as a decent class but you want a more specific advanced class later, changing their class when they reach level 20. You want to wait until a character reaches level 20 so they can maximize the stat bonuses they receive for that class. Then, when level 20 happens, switch them to another class, or an Advanced Class, as quickly as possible.
