Fire Emblem: Three Houses Black Eagles development guide covering Edelgard and Hubert's stats, growth rates, skills, and recommended class paths for optimal growth.
- 1Understand the data key: Base stats are at level 1 in a Noble or Commoner class. Max stats are the highest possible. Growth rate is the percentage chance for a +1 stat increase per level-up, which is added to the equipped class's growth rate for the final value.
- 2Review unit-specific information including general details, stats, growth rates, skills, abilities, combat arts, and spells.
- 3Follow the development and growth guide recommendations for each unit, keeping in mind that these are opinion-based.
- It is HIGHLY recommended to train EVERY unit in Authority, as gambits are a major asset. Do not do this for any unit intended to use the Stride gambit.
- When improving Faith, not every unit learns Physic.
- The growth and development section is opinion-based; feel free to disregard its advice.

Development and Growth Guide
Edelgard is recommended for Madness difficulty, but only on the Crimson Flower route. Use her as little as possible when aiming for the Church route.
Edelgard is a powerhouse damage dealer who can be made into any effective class and remain powerful. However, there is one main ideal methodology for using her best.
Firstly, it is not recommended to use her as a tank, although Armored Lord and Emperor classes easily allow it. It is also not recommended for her to be a mage, as there is a more effective way to use her.
It is recommended to train Edelgard's Axe, Authority, and Flying skills primarily to allow her to use her most optimum class path. It is also a good idea to build her Sword skill a bit to become a Myrmidon.
Recommended class path: Myrmidon (for increased speed growth) to Brigand (or Mercenary if you want to continue speed growth) to Wyvern Rider to Wyvern Lord. This path is recommended because it suits her best due to her high Strength stat, requires an Axe, and allows her to move large distances and then, if needed, move again via Canto. Furthermore, this is a great fit with her Part 2 Hero's Relic, as it allows her to attack twice, depending on the conditions, and defeat two enemies far away from each other.
