Fire Emblem Engage: Best Class for Each Character

Fire Emblem Engage has a massive roster of 36 playable characters. Managing all of them can be a daunting task. In this guide, I will go over the best class for each character in Fire Emblem Engage.

To avoid any major story spoilers, I will not go over a couple of characters. This way, if you want to know which classes are the best, you can do so free of spoilers.

I will divide the characters based on the major regions in the game.

Characters from Lythos

From Lythos four characters join your army. Alear the Divine Dragon, who is the main protagonist. The 32nd steward Vander and the 33rd twin stewards Flamme and Clanne.

Best Class for Alear

Alear is the main lord of the game, and even though he can fill any role you want. It’s best to keep him in the Dragon Child/Divine Dragon class line.

The dragon subclass type will give you many unique buffs, with any emblem you equip.

Best Class for Vander

The 32nd steward of the Divine Dragon excels in the Great Knight class. With two weapon options, he will break enemies and allow allies to go in for the kill without fear of retaliation.

Best Class for Framme

One of the twin 33rd stewards, Framme is the first healer that joins your team. She will work best in the Martial Master or High Priest classes to utilize your staves.

If you want a flying healer your second-best option would be Griffin Knight.

Make your choice between Axes or Swords depending on what your team needs.

Consider whether you need to have another Sword user or a Staff user, but Citrinne will be an amazing unit for any team.

Best Class for Lapis

Lapis is crown prince Alcryst’s second retainer. Her best class will be Swordmaster. Utilize Run Thorugh the sill learned at level 5 to make space for your units to attack.

Yunaka‘s best class will be the thief class she joins in. She is one of the best units that join you, and she will shine throughout the game.

Master your positioning and utilize the level 5 skill Air Raid.

Best Class for Anna

Anna joins from a paralogue as an Axe Fighter. Most players would go for a physical class, but I would suggest going for High Priest.

With the high luck growth of the class, make her a glass cannon and trigger her skill with higher rates.

Best Class for Lindon

Lindon is an Elusian scholar, that joins as a Sage. Keep him as a Sage if you need that stave utility or make him a Mage Knight to utilize Swords to break Axe enemies.

Best Class for Pandreo

Pandreo is the crown Prince Fogado’s second retainer. His best class is the High Priest, which allows him to heal the team and do damage from behind.

His low defense will make him a liability if left alone to deal with enemies.

Best Class for Seadall

Seadall is the Dancer unit of this game. I can’t stress this enough, but keep him as a dancer.

Dancer units are beyond amazing and they refresh a unit’s turn. At level 5 he unlocks the skill Special Dance.
