How to Increase Weapon Proficiency
Raise Bond Levels to Unlock Proficiencies
Weapon proficiencies can be gained by bonding with certain Emblems. You get increased weapon proficiency by increasing the Bond Level to acquire proficiencies from Emblems' Bond Effects.
As seen above, the unit can acquire Axe Proficiency from reaching Bond Level 2 with Leif.
▶︎ How to Reach Level 20 Bond Level
Increase Bond Level Instantly in Arena
In the Arena, you can do Emblem training to instantly increase the Bond Level between a unit and an Emblem. You need to spend Bond Fragments for each level. Higher levels will have an increased price.
Change Class for Higher Weapon Proficiency
Additionally, the only way to increase weapon level is to change classes. For example, you want Etie to use a Lendabair, a S-Rank bow, she needs to be a Sniper.
For another example, let's say you want Etie to use the Caladbolg, an S-rank Sword. She must first gain Sword proficiency by bonding with an Emblem like Lucina and then reclass to a Swordmaster, which can use S-ranked Swords.
What is Weapon Proficiency?
Determines Equippable Weapons
Weapon proficiency determines the characters' ability to use certain weapons. Each class has its own weapon proficiencies and levels. These levels range from D to S and limit what weapons your units can use.
How to Check Weapon Proficiency
View from the Change Class Screen
Players can check the Weapon Proficiencies of their units via the Change Class screen. This can be accessed by opening the Somniel Menu, selecting Inventory, chosing your desired unit, then selecting Change Class.
From there, you will be able to see the proficiencies of your unit on the lower left corner of the screen.
Weapon Proficiency Icons and Meaning
| Color | Proficiency Type | Effects |
|---|---|---|
 Grey |
No Proficiency | Cannot change into class that uses these |
 White |
Standard Proficiency | Gained from Emblems, can Class Change |
 Blue |
Innate Proficiency | Bonus level for that weapon |
There are three icons for proficiencies; grey, white, and blue. Grey means that the unit has no proficiency in this weapon type, meaning they cannot change into classes that use these until they gain it.
White is the standard proficiency and can be gained from Emblems. Blue is the character's innate proficiency, granting them a bonus level for that weapon, allowing them to use higher-grade versions of them.
