![]() ![]() If you promote a Cavalier with less than 12 Attack, the game will bump the stat to this level. When we talk about stats being bumped to a unit minimum, what we mean is this: if you want to promote a Cavalier, the game will compare his current stats to the base stats for a Paladin. Gaining EXP at levels 18 through 20 will take much longer for a small stat gain than if you promote early and gain EXP as a newly-promoted, fresh-faced level 1 class.However, you may still want to wait before you promote - but know that if you do it'll take a lot of grinding in order to see a real benefit.Compared to previous Fire Emblem games it is thus a bit of a no-brainer that you might want to promote classes immediately. This is thanks to how stats are bumped up to a unit minimum and because it's harder to gain experience (EXP) at high levels in Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia.First off, there is definitely less of a reason to wait to promote than in previous Fire Emblem games.While there's truly no right or wrong answer to this question, our time with the game spent crafting our lengthy review has given us a bit of a general feeling about the choice you're faced with. Given that as mentioned above you can promote characters right away once they reach the requested level, a larger question is raised: when should you promote? Class change is a big deal, after all - you want to get it right. When to Promote Characters - should you wait for a class change, or do it right away? Female Villager: Cavalier, Pegasus Knight, Cleric, Mage (Level 3).Male Villager: Mercenary, Soldier, Archer, Cavalier, Mage (Level 3).Villagers are basically a catch-all class who can promote to a number of base classes at Level 3: The exception to the no branching paths rule are Villagers. There is one minor exception to this rule, however. Once you reach the shrine, find and hit the promote option - we shouldn't need to explain the on-screen prompts beyond that! Note that all classes in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia can only promote to one other specific class - there are no branching paths or choices here beyond choosing when to upgrade. You'll probably have to do some dungeon crawling to reach a shrine unless you're lucky and have easy access to one. If you look on the world map, areas that have a shrine available will actually have a little icon in the top right of the informational panel telling you one is there. The place you do this is at Mila Shrines - these aren't hard to find, since they're included in every single one of the game's dungeons and are also scattered in other places besides. Once you've hit the required level as listed above for any given class you'll then need to head to a specific location to actually action the class change. How to promote units and change their class Female Mage promotes to Priestess (Level 14).Pegasus Knight promotes to Falcon Knight (Level 12).Cavalier promotes to Paladin (Level 7), who when promotes to Gold Knight (Level 10).Archer promotes to Sniper (Level 7), who then promotes to Bow Knight (Level 10).Soldier promotes to Knight (Level 7), who then promotes to Baron (Level 10).Mercenary promotes to Myrmidon (Level 7), who then promotes to Dread Fighter (Level 10).Here is the breakdown for when each character class can be promoted at their earliest: ![]() All Classes & Minimum Class Promotion Levels Whenever you promote a unit, their level goes back to 1 in the new class. ![]() Depending on the character and the setup there may be benefits to waiting - we'll go into this more later. You don't have to promote Mae at level 14, however - if you want, you can hold fire and promote her later at any level above that as and when you wish. Mae is a Mage, and once you get her to level 14 you can promote her to the Priestess class. Your class changes and character promotions will directly influence stats, which determine almost everything about your character in battle. The main thing you need to understand about character promotion and class changes in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is that the game features different base stats for each class in the game. How Class Change and Character Promotion works We'll get there, however - so let's talk about it in detail. Well, the truth is that there's no easy answer to this question outright - we're going to have to explain a few things about how the game works. One question is bound to be on players' lips more than others, and was frequently on our lips as we played Fire Emblem: Shadow of Valencia for our review, and it's a simple one that has myriad complicated answers: just when should you promote your characters? ![]()
