Blue lions Development guide

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Blue Lions development guide covering Dimitri and Annette's stats, growths, skills, and recommended paths.

Key for Data:

• Base: Base stats at level 1 in a Noble or Commoner class.
• Max: Maximum possible stats for a unit.
• Growth rate: The percentage chance for a unit to gain +1 in a stat upon leveling up. Note: This value must be added to the class growth rate for the actual stat gain.

This section also includes spells learned by each unit and unique skills unlocked by increasing certain skill ranks (e.g., C, B, or A rank). Not every unit learns spells like Physic, even when improving Faith.

Development and Growth Guide Recommendation: It is highly recommended to train EVERY unit you plan to use in Authority, as gambits (special battalion attacks) are a major asset. However, do not train units you intend to use for the Stride gambit in Authority.

Development and Growth Guide

Dimitri is recommended for Maddening difficulty. Like Edelgard, Dimitri is a powerful unit. His high Strength, Speed, and Dexterity growths make him a threat to most enemies. However, he is not suited for magic or axes, limiting his class options. Realistically, once he gains access to the High Lord and Great Lord classes, he no longer needs other classes as these complement his growths and skills best.

Option 1 (Speed Focus): Train Sword, Bow, and Lance skills. Develop him as a Myrmidon/Soldier, then a Thief, then an Assassin. Transition to High Lord when available. This method focuses on Speed, Strength, and Dexterity growths. Always work on Authority as much as possible to improve gambit effectiveness.

Option 2 (Brawl Focus): Train Brawling. Move from Fighter to Brawler, then Grappler, and finally into his unique classes (High Lord and Great Lord). This path offers mastery skills and combat arts, plus the effectiveness of fist weapons.

Option 3 (Cavalry Focus): Train Fighter to Cavalry to Paladin, then into his unique classes. This path offers increased movement and abilities from mastered classes, with a minor loss in speed growths.

Part 1 Note: Try to reach an advanced class and utilize it as much as possible during Part 1. In Part 2, Dimitri becomes a High Lord, and you will be unable to instruct him for a significant portion.
