Our next tier is by far our largest of them all, and we must first note that this is such a frequent occurrence in the Fire Emblem series. And what about the Valkyrie, that oft forgotten DLC class? We love it’s ability to increase both types of attacking magic’s range by +1 whilst retaining Canto! Perhaps it speaks to our sensibilities that we like such a wide variety of classes, mounted or not, but there really can be no denying their relative power. Grapper over War Master? Similar growths but superior skills. Sniper is where we’ll start, and you’re likely to be asking why a low movement unit is taken over the Canto wielding Bow Knight? Well it’s not that simple really, because the Sniper class has vastly superior growth rates and it’s eventual mastery learns the fantastic Hunter’s Volley. Look, we’re not stupid, we know that you’ll likely already be well aware of the absolute map and damage mastery that is the Wyvern Lord, and you’ll likely be aware of the of the excellent growth rates and adaptability of the Assassin class, so why don’t we focus on some of the more unusual options? This is reserved for our absolute favourites – those that we consider the cream of the crop, and it’s not just flying units either. It’s likely that a few class names right here aren’t going to be much of a surprise, but then again some classes are just that damned good, right? You all know which one we’re talking about… Anyway, as you might imagine this is our highest possible rank which we have dubbed the Excellent Tier. It’s fine to have differing opinions, after all this encourages conversation and in the end, education! There are of course some classes that climb to the top of every list going, and you’re likely to find them near the top of ours too, but your absolute fave might not make our top tier… But that’s OK. Everybody enjoys a Fire Emblem title a little different to everyone else, so it’s worth bearing in mind that this list is unlikely to match yours. Still, there can be no doubt that some classes will come out ahead of the others, but rest assured we’ve tried to apply some common sense where possible.Īs you might imagine, we’re going to have to preface this by saying that our Tier List is a personal choice. Everybody can grab a single overpowered class and run amok (hi, Awakening), but we’d rather experience a balanced and interesting play through. We are well aware that these kinds of things are very subjective and tend to differ depending on your game playing sensibilities, so it’s probably worth noting that we like to play Fire Emblem games with a semblance of balance. Clutch your favourite Class to your chest and prepare, because it’s time for yet another Tier List! Yes that’s right, everyone’s favourite ranking system is back and this time we’re putting to rights all of the class options available in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
