Learn about the Dark Mage class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, including its stats, growth rates, skills, and promotion options. Become a powerful magic user!

The Dark Mage is a Nohrian magic-user who dabbles in forbidden techniques. While they can technically use Dark Tomes, the only one readily available in Fire Emblem Fates is Nosferatu, so their main strength lies in being a pure magic class.

Think of them as the dark counterpart to the Diviner. They hit hard with magic, but they're not the fastest and can be quite fragile. However, magic is a valuable asset in this game, especially since many enemies have low Resistance. This makes the Dark Mage incredibly effective at exploiting common weaknesses. You'll definitely want to bring at least one magic-user like the Dark Mage along for the ride in your army!
