Kagetsu Best Class and Build

Recommended Classes

Class	Class Details
Swordmaster	Proficiency: S Unlock Via: Master Seal
	Run Through Use to attack an adjacent foe, then move to the space opposite that foe.
Paladin	Proficiency: A Variant Proficiencies: ・ A ・ A Unlock Via: Master Seal
	Pivot Use to move to the opposite side of an adjacent ally.

The best class for Kagetsu is Swordmaster to keep him as a master of critical hits or Paladin which gives Kagetsu Str and Mov and paired with his high Dex so he can easily jump into battle and one shot enemies.

▶︎ List of All Classes

Recommended Skills

	Perceptive If the unit initiates combat, grants Avo+15 during combat. Avo increases with high Spd. Marth Bond Level 1
	Speedtaker Grants a stacking Spd+2 each time unit initiates combat and defeats a foe. Bonus lasts for the rest of the battle. (Max +10) Lyn Bond Level 4
	Alacrity++ If unit initiates combat with a Spd advantage of 5 or more, unit's follow up (if possible) occurs before foe can counterattack. Lyn Bond Level 18

Alacrity perfectly synergizes with Kagetsu's high base speed and growth rate to ensure he attacks not only attacks first, but does so twice. Marth's Perceptive allows Kagetsu to avoid counter attacks from dangerous units when acting as the agressor.

Speedster pairs well with either Alacirty or Perceptive ensuring they remain active as Kagetsu cuts through enemies and is a great early skill pick if his Spd is not quite up to par yet.

Lyn

Marth

Kegatsu alone has an overall impressive stat growth when it comes to offense and defense. Pairing him with either Lyn or Marth can amplify Kegatsu's potential as a powerful offensive unit by raising his Spd and evasion against enemies.

Kagetsu Paired Ending and Romance

Pact Ring with Kagetsu

After clearing Chapter 22, players unlock The Connector Paralogue and can subsequently unlock the Pact Ring. This essentially acts as Fire Emblem Engage's S-Rank Support and romance route.

Alear can then give the ring to Kagetsu once they have attained an A-Rank in support to view a special cutscene, and unlock a page in the reference about the life they lived together.

Kagetsu's Memento

Kagetsu's hair band, made out of silk from Pale Sands. He gave it to me as a symbol of our love.

Apart from obtaining an exclusive ending with Kagetsu after giving the Pact Ring, players can also head to Alear's room and check the small table next to their bed to find a memento from him.

While the memento serves no purpose in combat whatsoever unlike the Merc Whistle in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, it further contextualizes the paired ending selected by the player.
