Feats are added areas of expertise that provide bonuses and added proficiencies that can aid your character in combat.
Having a total of 41 feats and only unlocking feats every four levels (4, 8, and 12), it is highly recommended to review which feats you need to make the most out of your character in combat.
While we did mentoin that you obtain Feats every level, the level that is actually getting counted is your Class' level and not your characters. This is actually a major effect if you're multiclassing since it means that if you multiclass into a Level 3 Sorcerer and a Level 2 Warlock, this will mean that your character is level 5 but you will not obtain any Feats as both classes are under level 4. However, if you're somhow multiclassed into three classes like Bard, Sorcerer, and Warlock with the levels 6, 3, and 3 respectively, you will only be able to gain a Feat once from the Level 6 Bard when it reaches level 4.
