Thusly, if you need stats, use a Second Seal and stay as a base class. If your stats are fine, and you feel ready to promote (promoted classes also have higher stat caps), use a Master Seal. As a promoted class, you should stay in it until you are level 15 or 20.
How do second seals work?
The main function of Second Seals is to allow units to re-class into other classes belonging to other class sets in order to obtain skills to use. For pre-promoted characters, doing so allows them to “reset” their level, helping them to catch up with non-promoted units stat-wise.
How do you promote in Fire Emblem Awakening?
You can promote classes with the Master Seal starting with level 10, but usually it’s recommended to do it later because you miss out on stats you’d gain from level-ups otherwise. You can also reclass them with the Second Seal, which is what you’re calling ‘side promote’.
Who should I use my second seal on?
If your character has an advanced class, you can use a Second Seal at any level. Reach level 10 in the advanced class (or level 30 in a special class) and you’ll also be able to re-specialise into a different advanced class right away.
When should I use second seal awakening?
However, some players prefer to use a Second Seal as soon as they’ve hit level 10 in their base class, particularly if they’re not interested in the skills offered by that base class’ upgraded advanced class. This allows them to level up, reach their preferred advanced class – and the skills this offers – faster.
When should I use seals awakening?
You can use a Master Seal on most characters as soon as they hit level 10. However, you really want to wait until they max out their current class at level 20. Once you promote a character, they’ll start earning experience much more slowly. This makes them harder to level up, which means they’ll earn fewer stat boosts.
What does Master Seal do?
A Master Seal is an item that allows you to promote your characters’ base classes when they reach level 10. For example, using this on Chrom, a Lord, turns him into a Great Lord. Some base classes have more than one promotion; for example, Cavaliers can become Paladins or Great Knights.
