Grandmaster

Discover the Grandmaster class in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest! Learn its stats, weapon proficiencies, and powerful skills like Ignis and Rally Spectrum.

Alright, let's talk about the Grandmaster class in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. This class is a callback to Fire Emblem: Awakening, and it's still a really solid, well-rounded choice. Think of it as the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none, but in a good way. It’s a great option if you want a balanced unit that can handle a bit of everything.

You can get the Grandmaster's seal, called the Fell Brand, by completing the DLC map **Hidden Truths 1**. Make sure you grab that if you want to promote into this class!

Class Stats and Growth Rates

Here’s a look at the Grandmaster’s base stats and how they tend to grow:

As you can see, they're not super specialized. They get a little bit of everything, which makes them adaptable but not necessarily the best at any single thing. The low Speed growth means they might struggle to double-attack later on, and the low Luck and Defense mean they can be a bit fragile if they take a hit.

Weapon Proficiencies

The Grandmaster is pretty versatile with weapons:

This means they can use both physical swords and magical tomes, giving them a lot of flexibility in combat depending on the situation and what you've equipped.

Class Skills

The Grandmaster comes with some really interesting skills that can benefit themselves and their allies:

• Tactical Advice: If this unit is in a defensive stance while paired up, their attacking partner gets Hit+10. This is great for ensuring your main attacker lands their hits.
• Solidarity: Adjacent allies get Avoid+10 and Critical Evade+10. This is a fantastic support skill, making units near the Grandmaster harder to hit and less likely to be critically struck.
• Ignis: This skill has a Skill% chance to add half of the user’s Strength or Magic to their attack damage. The cool part is that it depends on the weapon equipped – swords add Strength, tomes add Magic. It’s a reliable damage boost.
• Rally Spectrum: Using the “Rally” command grants all allies within a 2-tile radius +2 to all their stats for one turn. While it used to be +4, +2 to everything is still super useful for buffing your whole team before a tough fight.
