'''Class strength''' <!--(Japanese: {{hl|??|??}} ''??'')--> is a mechanic first appearing in {{FE2}} that influences the amount of [[experience]] points a unit receives. It is also used in its remake, {{title|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}, and in the three GBA Fire Emblem games, {{FE6}}, {{FE7}}, and {{FE8}}.

Class strength is, essentially, a hidden stat for a class that affects the experience a unit gains. Its purpose is to increase the experience gains of lower-level classes in comparison to higher-level ones.
In ''Gaiden'' and ''Shadows of Valentia'', stronger classes have lower class strengths and weaker classes higher strengths, ranging from 1 to 10; as class strength is multiplied into experience gain, this serves to boost the experience gain of lower-tier classes in comparison to higher-tier promoted ones. The enemy's class strength is not a factor in experience, but the base experience from the enemy's class is.
In the GBA games, stronger classes have higher class strengths; there is a smaller range of class strengths, only from 1 to 5; and class strengths are less distributed, with the vast majority of classes featuring 3 class strength and all classes with 5 strength being late-game boss-exclusive. The range of class strengths is more limited compared to ''Gaiden'', but enemy class strength is a factor in experience gain in the GBA games, and they feature many direct class-based bonuses, such as a bonus for defeating [[Thief|Thieves]].

Class strength is a mechanic first appearing in Fire Emblem Gaiden that influences the amount of experience points a unit receives. It is also used in its remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and in the three GBA Fire Emblem games: Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Overview


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


Class strength is, essentially, a hidden stat for a class that affects the experience a unit gains. Its purpose is to increase the experience gains of lower-level classes in comparison to higher-level ones.

In Gaiden and Shadows of Valentia, stronger classes have lower class strengths and weaker classes higher strengths, ranging from 1 to 10; as class strength is multiplied into experience gain, this serves to boost the experience gain of lower-tier classes in comparison to higher-tier promoted ones. The enemy's class strength is not a factor in experience, but the base experience from the enemy's class is.

In the GBA games, stronger classes have higher class strengths; there is a smaller range of class strengths, only from 1 to 5; and class strengths are less distributed, with the vast majority of classes featuring 3 class strength and all classes with 5 strength being late-game boss-exclusive. The range of class strengths is more limited compared to Gaiden, but enemy class strength is a factor in experience gain in the GBA games, and they feature many direct class-based bonuses, such as a bonus for defeating Thieves.

Class strength is used to calculate the unit's experience gain in battle.

style="Template:Roundtl; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0" | Formula style="Template:Roundtr; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0" | Notes
Killing an enemy [Enemy's Class EXP × (Enemy's Level + 9) / 10)] × Class strength × Level Factor / 100 Minimum of 1; minimum of 0 against Duma.
[Enemy's Class EXP × (Enemy's Level + 9) / 10)] has a maximum of 255.
Player unit deals damage but does not kill the enemy EXP for Killing an enemy × Damage done / (Enemy's Max HP * 2) --

In the GBA games, Class Strength is used to determine experience from battle thus:

style="Template:Roundtl; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0" | Action Formula style="Template:Roundtr; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0" | Notes
Doing damage [31 + (Enemy's Level + Enemy's Promotion Bonus) - (Player unit's Level + Player unit's Promotion Bonus)] / Player unit's Class Strength Minimum of 1.
Promotion Bonus is 20 if the unit is promoted; 0 if not.
style="Template:Roundbl; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0" | Killing the enemy EXP for doing damage + Silencer Mod × [(Enemy's Level × Enemy's Class Strength + Enemy's Promotion Bonus) - (Player unit's Level × Plyer unit's Class Strength + Player unit's Promotion Bonus) + 20 + Boss Bonus + Thief Bonus + Entombed Bonus] style="Template:Roundbr; border: 1px solid #b0b0b0" | Maximum of 100; minimum equal to experience from doing damage.
Silencer Mod is 2 if the kill was due to an Assassin's Silencer; 1 if not
Promotion Bonus is 40 for Valkyries, Bishops (only female Bishops in The Blazing Blade), Rogues, and Assassins; 60 for all other promoted classes. Boss Bonus is 40 if the enemy is a Boss. Thief Bonus is 20 if the enemy is a Thief, Rogue, or Assassin. Entombed Bonus is 40 if the enemy is an Entombed. Each bonus is 0 otherwise.
