Classes and mastery

• GladiatorBeginner | Weapons: Swords, axes, gauntlets | Movement: InfantryMastery: No class ability
• HunterBeginner | Weapons: Swords, bows | Movement: InfantryMastery: Not recordedThe class a bow-user route reclasses into automatically. The +1 Speed modifier is called out as unusually valuable because Speed decides doubling.
• SoldierBeginner | Weapons: Infantry weapons | Movement: InfantryMastery: Defence Basics (Defence +1)Rated the weakest of the five beginner options in one walkthrough, mainly because both its bonuses and its mastery ability are defensive.
• DivinerBeginner | Weapons: Magic (white or black) | Movement: InfantryMastery: Magic Basics (Magic and Resistance +1)Handles damage and healing magic, often both. Recommended when a unit needs to raise magic.
• Ornius RiderBeginner | Weapons: Mounted weapons | Movement: Mounted (Ornius)Mastery: Not recordedDescribed as a solid generalist; the stacking note is why it is recommended alongside Gladiator and Diviner rather than instead of them.

How to use this planner

Choose your route and the list narrows to the classes that route can actually certify into. Route-specific entries are marked, so it is immediately clear which options are locked to another Flame Lord. Tick a class once you have mastered it: the tick is the record of a permanent ability, which is the part of the class system that survives changing class again.

Progress is stored in your browser under a single local storage key. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed; clearing site data for this domain resets the ticks.

Reading the exam gates

The tier tabs are not cosmetic. Beginner exams are the ones you can take immediately, specialty exams are reported to open at Renown level 4, and advanced exams at Renown level 8. That means Renown is not just a scoreboard for recruitment: it is the currency that widens your class options, and the reason an early Renown push pays off later in the run.

Two well-placed beginner classes cover most of the early game. Gladiator converts a unit into a physical growth project by adding HP and Strength growth, while Diviner does the same for magic and hands over Magic Basics on mastery. Hunter is the odd recommendation that looks small and is not, because a single point of Speed modifier decides doubling thresholds.

Growth versus modifiers, in one paragraph

Class growth additions are statistics you accumulate slowly, and they leave when you leave the class. Class base modifiers are applied at once and also leave. Mastery abilities are the only part you keep forever. Plan accordingly: sit in a class long enough to master the ability you actually want, take the stat modifiers you need for the fight in front of you, and treat route-specific classes as planning constraints rather than optional extras, because on some routes they are the entire top end of the list.
