Class roll

From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.

This page has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.

In the Fire Emblem series, the Class roll (also called Unit Profile in some games) is a sequence of classes that is displayed when the game is left idle on the title screen.

Games that have a class roll include Mystery of the Emblem, The Binding Blade, The Blazing Blade, The Sacred Stones, Radiant Dawn, Shadow Dragon, New Mystery of the Emblem, Awakening, Fates, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and Engage.

Class rolls generally increase in size or variety as more of the game is played.

Class rolls

The Binding Blade

The following classes are shown in an instance of The Binding Blade in which Normal Mode has been completed and Hard Mode has not been.

Class Character Weapon
Lord Roy Sword
Cavalier Trec Lance
Paladin Marcus Lance
Archer Wolt Bow
Knight Barthe Lance

The Blazing Blade

In The Blazing Blade, the class roll initially features six classes, and expands to include more classes (in steps of six) at certain milestones related to game progress, with newer class sets displayed before older ones. Milestones related to chapter progress are tracked by the save file, so deleting one will remove the unlocked class sets; however, milestones related to playthrough count are saved separately, and will not be removed when save files are deleted. Additionally, class sets are included based on the most recent milestone, not meeting the milestone itself—i.e. starting a second playthrough in Eliwood's or Hector's tales will unlock the class sets from a second playthrough of Lyn's tale.

The class roll plays in the following order:

The Sacred Stones

As in The Blazing Blade, the class roll in The Sacred Stones starts with a small set of classes and adds more at certain milestones related to game progress. Again, as newer classes are added to the roll, they are displayed before older ones. Milestones related to chapter progress are tracked by the save file, so deleting one will remove the unlocked class sets; however, milestones related to playthrough count are saved separately, and will not be removed when save files are deleted.

Radiant Dawn

In Radiant Dawn, the Class Roll is called Unit Profile. Unlike the GBA games, Radiant Dawn does not show all classes in a single roll. Instead, there are several rolls that play in order, based on how many playthroughs have been completed. When one roll is completed, the game reverts to the opening crawl and the title screen, after which the next roll plays.

Shadow Dragon

The class roll in Shadow Dragon randomly displays one of the following sequences of characters before reverting to a variant of the title screen with no music, followed by another iteration of the opening crawl and the title screen with music. If the title screen remains idle, another random class roll will occur (which may or may not be the same as the previous one).

Classes that are neither male- nor female-exclusive may appear as either gender, but all such classes within the same class roll will appear as the same gender. For example, when Class Roll B displays a female Archer, it will also display a female Sniper, Bishop, and Manakete.

Unlike previous games, Shadow Dragon does not give playable characters unique combat sprites, and so they cannot be identified as specific characters in the class roll either.

Notes

  1. This uses Sain's Paladin palette rather than his Cavalier one.
  2. This is Nergal's unique combat sprite, unlike the generic enemy Dark Druid combat sprite shown in-game when Nergal is fought.
  3. Even though a Necromancer cannot use Anima magic in normal gameplay.
  4. A mistranslation of "Sentinel".
  5. A mistranslation of "Saint".
