Those who are looking for a class that is offensively strong and mobile should look no further than the Swordmaster in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. The Swordmaster is an advanced class that, as the name implies, is best suited for characters that excel in using swords for proficient high-powered combat. One of the best features of the class is that any unit can become a Swordmaster, though some are more inclined than others in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Regardless of which unit players choose to become a Swordmaster, they’ll need to unlock the class by completing the prerequisite.
The Swordmaster class is perfect for Shez in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, as well as any other unit that excels with swords in general. As players learned through the game’s prologue, units that use swords are strongest against classes that use axes, and the Swordmaster class is no exception to this rule. In fact, becoming a Swordmaster gives that particular unit additional strengths that will allow them to easily win any match that is a targeted one-on-one fight against an axe wielder easily because all sword arts are strengthened. Additionally, strong attacks from Swordmasters will also trigger a follow-up attack.
To unlock the Swordmaster class in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, a unit must first master the Myrmidon and Mercenary classes. All characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes can master both classes through combat or the Training Grounds at the base camp. Once the Mercenary class is mastered, use a seal either found in battle or bought from a merchant to unlock the Swordmaster class. Faster XP gains for either method can be earned with high morale through features like gift-giving or preparing a meal for the unit.
Best Swordmaster Class Uses In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
The Swordmaster class features high Strength, Dexterity, Speed, and Defense stats, which are all useful features when combatting opponents that have low Defense or axe-wielders. However, the low Resilience stat of the Swordmaster class means that the unit will be at a disadvantage when facing an opponent that is a proficient Magic-user. Nonetheless, a Swordmaster class character in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is great to have in the convoy.
Any unit with blue arrows next to the Swordmaster in the “Change Class” menu is ideal for the class. The arrows mean that this particular unit will have additional class abilities. Furthermore, mastering the Swordmaster class will allow that unit to become a Mortal Savant, a master class that excels in both magic and sword attacks.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is available for the Nintendo Switch.
