Unlike all other classes, Fluegel, Emperor, High Lord, and Barbarossa do not actually promote from a Beginner class. Instead, the characters are put into the classes automatically during the prologue for Shez and at the beginning of their respective routes' fourth chapters for Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude. Additionally, the Silverheart class also does not promote from a Beginner class; however, unlike Shez and the House Leaders, Byleth never uses one unless the player reclasses them.

The classes in Brackets for Shez and the house leaders are the classes they use before they automatically promote.
