Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Trainee Class

Commoner and Noble

The trainee or starting class in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is split into two types, the commoner and the noble. Similar to previous games, the starting class has relatively low stats. Upon earning enough experience, each unit can promote to one of the four beginner classes.

These units can wield various weapons and have the most diverse mobility types among all classes.

Icon

The commoner encompasses all the regular citizens of Fodlan. Commoners cover people from all kinds of backgrounds. The commoner class is capable of using low tier magic.

Icon

Citizens who carry the royal blood and whose ancestry has been passed down through the generations. Despite having a reputable lineage, the noble class does not differ from the commoner as it can only channel low tier magic.
