Ouroboros Guide: All Forms and How to Interlink

Earn Class Points to Unlock Other Classes

The classes of your other party members will remain locked for your characters until they earn the necessary amount of Class Points (CP). This is also true for succeeding classes you unlock from Heroes.

Class Rating Determines the Speed of Ranking Up

If you look at the Class Selection screen, you will see a letter rating in the upper right corner of the Class Info. This Class Rating is the compatibility of that character with that class and determines how fast they can unlock it and rank up.

Raising Class Rank

Each character can earn additional ranks in a class the more they use it. By ranking up a class, they gain access to Master Skills and Arts available for that class. Master Skills and Arts can be used by the character even when they are not currently using that class.

The More Party Members with the Class, the Faster it Unlocks

To quickly unlock a class for another character, make sure that you have other party members that also have that class. The more party members with that class, the faster it will unlock.

If you are trying to unlock a Hero Class, for example, make sure to have the Hero in your party to speed up the unlock.
