<big><big><big>Class: Nohr Noble</big></big></big>

Corrin's personal class, the Nohr Noble, is his offensively-focused class, containing the "dragon" trait. While Corrin's overall stat distribution is variable, the Nohr Noble tends to have average stats across the board, save for an incredibly poor skill and defense. He has access to swords, dragonstones, and magic, allowing him to effectively target whichever defensive ability his foe is lacking. The Nohr Noble's attack animations are very flashy, incorporating spins, somersaults, backflips, and the like, showing off his athleticism. These feats are unchanged, even when wielding Fates' larger weapons.

<big><big><big>Weapons:</big></big></big>
*Omega Yato
**The Yato blade charged with the energy of all four royal weapons. It's basically a flaming magical chainsaw that (mostly) ignores the Dragonskin skill. It's also slightly reduces the chance of an enemy crit, as well as making Corrin stronger, faster, and tougher.
*Dragonstone +
**A highly powerful Dragonstone, which allows Corrin to transform into his dragon form. Shifting to dragon form with this stone also lowers the enemy's chance to crit, as well as making Corrin tougher. However, it also makes him slower and less skillful.
*Ragnarok
**A very powerful tome, that makes enemies more likely to land crits. Summons plumes of fire to attack a foe.


<big><big><big>Skills:</big></big></big>
*Supportive
**Boosts the abilities of a supported unit in a pair up if Corrin is friends with them. Passive Skill.
*Dragon Fang
**Attacks have a high chance of doing additional damage by channeling Corrin's dragon form. Active Skill.
*Draconic Hex
**Lowers the enemy's physical abilities after combat, should both survive. Passive Skill.
*Nohrian Trust
**Allows Corrin to use the active skills of units supporting them in a pair up. Passive Skill.
*Dragon Ward
**Friendly units next to Corrin have a small chance of taking half damage. Active Skill.
*Hoshidan Unity
**Boosts the activation rate of Corrin's active skills. Passive Skill.

|-| Ryouma =

{{Quote|Very well. Although it pains me, I see you cannot be dissuaded. In that case, I have no choice but to drag you back to Hoshido by force!|Ryoma}}

[[File:Ryoma.png|center|500px|ALL HAIL THE LOBSTER LORD]]

<big><big><big>Class: Swordmaster</big></big></big>

Ryouma uses the generic Swordmaster class. His defense is below average, so he can't take too much of a hit. However, he has an extremely high speed and skill which makes hitting him difficult. His strength is high for his class, which and his high skill only compounds this with more critical strikes, which triples his damage. About the only limitation that he has is low magic and the fact that he's locked to swords. Both of these are mitigated: the first by the fact that there are no magic swords in ''Fates'', and the second with his personal weapon, the Raijinto, as it provides a ranged option.

<big><big><big>Weapons:</big></big></big>
*Raijinto
**A katana wreathed in lightning. It makes the user stronger and slightly faster, at the cost of making them slightle less durable. In addition to normal swordplay, Ryoma can also use the lightning surrounding the blade as a ranged attack.

<big><big><big>Skills:</big></big></big>
*Bushido
**If user is lead in a pair-up, boosts crit chance, damage dealt, and reduces damage received when the unit's level is higher than or equal to the supporting unit.
*Vantage
**Makes user strike faster in combat if near death.
*Astra
**User has a low chance of doing a five-hit combo in lieu of a single attack. Each attack does less damage if it hits than a normal blow.
*Duelist's Blow
**If user initiates combat, increases chance to dodge foe's attacks.
*Swordfaire
**Unit does extra damage with swords

|-| Xander =

{{Quote|Our father is not here to protect his lapdog. We'll tell him you were murdered by some remaining Hoshidan rebels. How tragic.|Xander}}

[[File:Xander.png|center|200px|Basically a walking checklist for how to be awesome]]

<big><big><big>Class: Paladin</big></big></big>

Xander uses the generic Paladin class, giving him the "horse" trait. Like all Paladins, he has average stats, sans a poor resistance. This makes his only real weakness magic, while giving him no specific strengths. His ability to use swords and lances means he's always at least neutral on the weapon triangle. He prefers his personal sword, Siegfried, whose battle model appears to be about as long as his horse. He still shows a strong proficiency with it, and is noted as the most skilled combatant on either side of the war despite his impractically long weapon.

<big><big><big>Weapons:</big></big></big>
*Siegfried
**A sword wreathed in darkness. It boosts the user's resilience and agility, letting them dodge better and letting them take more of the hits that do land. In addition to normal swordplay, Xander can also channel the magic power within the sword into ''a motherfuckin' laser of dark magic''.
*Xander's Lance
**A powerful lance. Nothing special.

<big><big><big>Skills:</big></big></big>
*Chivalry
**User deals more damage and receives less damage when foe is unwounded
*Aegis
**Has a chance to halve damage from bows, tomes, and dragonstones.
*Elbow Room
**If on level ground, deals extra damage.
*Shelter
**Can "rescue" a unit and put it in the back of a pair up.
*Defender
**Makes the unit stronger when in the front of a pair up.
