Grandmaster

Learn about the Grandmaster class in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation. Discover its stat growths, weapon proficiencies, and powerful skills like Ignis and Rally Spectrum.

Hey there! So, you're looking to understand the Grandmaster class in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation? Awesome choice! It's a really solid, well-rounded class, kind of like the protagonist's go-to in Awakening. Think of them as the jack-of-all-trades, but in a good way. You'll get this class by snagging the special item, the Fell Brand, which you can grab every time you beat the DLC map 'Hidden Truths 1'.

Let's break down what makes them tick:

Stat Growths

Here's how the Grandmaster tends to grow:

Stat	Growth Rate
Health	10%
Strength	15%
Magic	15%
Skill	15%
Speed	5%
Luck	0%
Defense	5%
Resistance	15%

As you can see, they're not super specialized in any one area, but they're decent all-around. Don't expect them to be the tankiest or the fastest, but they can hold their own.

Weapon Proficiencies

Grandmasters are pretty versatile with their weapons:

Weapons
Katana/Swords, Scrolls/Tomes

This means they can handle themselves with both physical and magical attacks, which is super handy!

Skills

Now, for the really cool part – the skills!

• Tactical Advice: If your Grandmaster is in a defensive stance while paired up, their partner gets a nice Hit+10 boost. This is great for making sure those crucial hits land.
• Solidarity: When allies are standing next to your Grandmaster, they get Avoid+10 and Critical Evade+10. Basically, they become harder to hit and harder to crit when they're close by. Super useful for keeping your team alive!
• Ignis: This skill is a real gem! It's got a chance (based on your Skill stat) to add extra damage to your attack. The cool part is, it adds half of your Strength or Magic, depending on what weapon you're using. So, if you're using a sword, it's Strength-based; if you're using a tome, it's Magic-based. It's like a souped-up version of Rend Heaven and a really reliable way to boost your damage output.
• Rally Spectrum: This is a command skill. When you use it, all allies within two tiles get a +2 boost to *all* their stats for one turn. It used to be even better (+4 to all stats), but +2 is still fantastic and can really turn the tide of a tough battle, especially since it can stack with other Rally skills.

Pro Tip: Ignis is a fantastic skill to build around, especially since it adapts to your weapon. And don't underestimate Rally Spectrum – it's a great way to give your whole team a temporary edge when you need it most!
