All Class Abilities in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Not every class in Fire Emblem: Three Houses comes with a Class Ability, but most of them come with some benefit. Unlike each character’s Personal Ability, you’ll only get access to the Class Ability while you have that class equipped, so remember to swap back to a class if you want to use that ability once more. To reframe that, you lose the Class Ability any time you swap off from that class.

We’ve broken down our list below based on the class levels, so you can easily check the Class Abilities for the point of the game you’re up to. It should be noted that the Beginner classes have no Class Ability, so we haven’t listed them. Without further delay, here are all the Class Abilities in Fire Emblem: Three Houses:
