Level Up and Class-Change

Learn how to use Master Seals and Second Seals to change classes and customize characters in fire emblem awakening. Master Seals upgrade basic classes, Second Seals reclass.

Master Seal Upgrade:

Characters in a basic class (e.g., Priest, Cavalier, Myrmidon) can use a “Master Seal” item at Level 10 or above to upgrade into one of two advanced classes. For example, Mercenaries can upgrade to a Hero or a Bow Knight. Doing so will greatly increase their stats and return them to Level 1, so they can continue to gain experience. Which advanced class you pick usually comes down to personal preference, but you may want to factor in new weapon types or increased movement.

Second Seal Reclassing:

Characters in a basic class can, alternatively, use a “Second Seal” item when they’re Level 10 or above (or in an advanced class) to reclass into one of two alternate basic classes – the exact classes depend on the character. For example, when Chrom is a Level 10 Lord, he can reclass into an Archer or Cavalier. If the character is Level 10 or above in an advanced class, they will gain the option to reclass to the corresponding advanced classes too. Following the above example, if Chrom is a Level 10 Great Lord, he can reclass into a Sniper, Bow Knight, Paladin or Great Knight (in addition to Archer, Cavalier and Lord). After reclassing, the character’s Level will be set to 1, so they can continue to gain experience. By using a combination of Second Seals and Master Seals, you can access many different classes and thus learn a huge variety of skills. You can also Level Up characters an infinite number of times.
