Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation is the third and final story path for the Nintendo 3DS strategy RPG, requiring either Birthright or Conquest to access. In this path, you'll forge a new way forward, uniting the kingdoms of Hoshido and Nohr against a common enemy. You'll command your army turn-by-turn, positioning units, managing their skills, and engaging in tactical combat to overcome enemy forces.
This guide is here to help you navigate the challenges of Revelation, especially on higher difficulties. We'll focus on strategies for tricky chapters like Chapter 9: Wanderer, which presents a significant difficulty spike. You'll find tips for managing map mechanics, like the gusts in Chapter 9, and advice on ensuring your units, such as Hana, Subaki, and Kaze, are adequately leveled to contribute effectively.

Reclassing and Skills
Master reclassing in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! Learn about Master Seals, Heart Seals, Friendship Seals, Partner Seals, and Eternal Seals to customize your units and skills.
- 1Characters in base classes learn skills at levels 1 and 10.
- 2Characters in advanced classes learn skills at levels 5 and 15.
- 3Advanced classes can be changed into other advanced classes using various Seals.
- 4Reclassing allows characters to learn skills from other classes, which can then be used in their current class. For example, a character can learn Astra from Swordmaster and retain it in another class.
- 5When leveling up for the first time in a new class after reclassing, the character learns the first skill of that class's base class if they don't already have it.
- 6Leveling up a second time in the new class grants the next skill from the base class.
- 7If a character has no skills from the base or advanced class, leveling up four times in the new class will grant access to all four skills (two from base, two from advanced).
- A Master Seal promotes a character from a base class to its linked advanced class.
- A Heart Seal reclasses a character based on their "personality."
- A Friendship Seal reclasses a character based on who they achieve an A+ rank support with. Note that A+ rank supports are one-way; for both units to gain access to each other's classes, they must A+ rank each other. The Avatar cannot A+ rank with anyone, but can use Friendship Seals with units of the same gender (including child characters, provided the Avatar is not their parent).
- A Partner Seal reclasses a character based on their marriage partner (S rank support).
- An Eternal Seal does not reclass but increases the character's level cap by 5. Each Eternal Seal costs 12,000 gold. There is no limit to the number of Eternal Seals that can be used.
- Characters can have a maximum of six skills equipped at once.
- Only five skills can be customized; the sixth skill is character-exclusive and cannot be changed.
- The skill at the bottom of the equipped list is inherited by a child character if the unit is married and has a child paralogue.
Support and Relationships
Learn how to build support ranks in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation, from C to S, and unlock powerful battlefield bonuses, unique conversations, and even children units.
- 1Characters gain support points when fighting adjacently or paired on the battlefield.
- 2Support points are a hidden value that increases as characters interact.
- 3Hearts will appear on screen to indicate that support points are being gained.
- 4Outside of battle, use the 'Support' option in the menu to trigger new conversations between characters.
- 5These conversations provide character insights and increase support ranks.
- 6Support ranks start at 'C' and can go up to 'A', 'A+', or 'S'.
- 7Support points can also be gained very slowly through various MyCastle events.
- 8Reaching 'A' rank support between non-Avatar characters provides greater battlefield benefits when paired.
- 9Reaching 'S' rank allows two characters to marry, unlocking a Paralogue with their child unit and granting access to the spouse's classes via the Partner Seal.
- 10Two characters of the same gender can reach 'A+' rank, a platonic version of 'S' rank.
- 11'A+' rank support is a one-way selection: if Character A reaches 'A+' with Character B, Character A gains a class from Character B, but Character B does not gain a class from Character A unless they also reach 'A+' with Character A.
- 12The Avatar character cannot 'A+' support with anyone.
- 13The Avatar can gain classes from any character of the same gender they reach 'A' rank with, using the Friendship Seal.
- 14Reach 'A' rank with all comrades to fill out the Support Log and gain all possible class benefits for the Avatar.
- Encourage characters to fight next to each other or in a pair to maximize support gain.
- Engage in all available Support conversations to deepen character relationships and unlock benefits faster.
- Consider who you want to marry for the S-Rank benefits, especially the unlockable child units.
- For same-gender pairings aiming for A+ rank, be mindful of the one-way class inheritance.
- Utilize the Avatar's ability to gain classes from any 'A' ranked ally of the same gender to diversify your team's class options.
