Alright, let's talk about the Lodestar class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! This is a pretty unique class, and you can snag a Lodestar Seal by playing the free **Before Awakening** DLC. It's a fantastic class, especially if you like to support your allies by pairing up with them, and the Speedtaker skill can seriously snowball, letting you double-hit almost everything once it gets going.
Even though its Strength growth isn't the highest, the Lodestar really shines with its excellent Speed, Skill, and Luck stats. The Dancing Blade skill just builds on that speed advantage.

| Charm | Allies within a 2-tile radius deal +2 points of extra damage in battle |
| Dual Guard | When user is in a defensive stance in a pairing, guard gauge fills faster |
| Speedtaker | When user defeats enemy, gain Speed+2 until end of battle, all the way up to Speed+10 |
