Byleth is primarily a support Emblem that focuses on giving the equipped unit a variety of weapons and many support skills to buff nearby allies.

Goddess Dance can make the difference between winning and losing if used properly, as it can grant an extra action to multiple allies.

Additionally, Mentorship makes Byleth an ideal choice when trying to level up your characters quickly. Combine this with our tips on the best ways to farm XP and you’ll see your characters reaching max level easily.

While Byleth can be paired with almost any class, I highly recommend preferring support or high-movement units to focus primarily on buffing allies. Based on that, here are the best pairings for Byleth in Fire Emblem Engage:

  1. Etie
  2. Lindon
  3. Mauvier
  4. Hortensia
  5. Jade

Additionally, Byleth can utilize his Lost and Found skill to help players farm gold and test their Luck with items found.
