Learn the best strategies for developing Church of Seiros members in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Includes stats, growth rates, skills, and expert tips for optimal unit building.

This section details the Church of Seiros members, including their stats, stat growths, learned spells, and unique skills. The growth development section uses this data to suggest optimal ways to train these units.

Key:

  • 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 that this is added to the unit's class growth rate for the actual value.

The development and growth guide sections are personal opinions and can be followed or disregarded. It is highly recommended to train units in Authority for gambits, but avoid this for units intended to use the Stride gambit.

Church of Seiros and Knights of Seiros members are recruited through specific story chapters in Part 1, with some being route-locked. Later recruitment generally means higher levels but potentially problematic stat distributions, making effective development difficult. Most Church of Seiros members become increasingly ineffectual if not developed early, with exceptions like Manuela, Hanneman, Flayn, and Shamir (recruited in Chapter 12 on Black Eagles route).

On routes other than Black Eagles, most units (except Seteth, Gilbert on Blue Lions, and Alois) can be recruited in single-digit chapters. Earlier recruitment makes development easier, with Catherine, Cyril, and Shamir being the easiest to develop. Most units in this group are already in intermediate or advanced classes (except Cyril) regardless of level.

Development and Growth Guide

Alois is not recommended for Maddening difficulty due to late recruitment at the end of Part 1. He has a classic tank build but can also be a decent damage dealer. His proficiencies in Axe and Fists allow for a War Master build. Consider training him in lower-rank classes for mastery skills if feasible. Alternatively, training Riding and Heavy Armor could lead to a Great Knight, though this class is not recommended due to its growths and movement limitations.
