My Impression

Byleth is, unsurprisingly, an amazing unit. Where their strengths lie, though, is their ability to succeed in any class. With all around good to average bases and stats, Byleth is prepared to be any type of unit. The only thing to watch out for is their poor base Mag, which with their low growth rate, could end up being a problem. Considering that their Relic Art benefits greatly from a high Mag stat and their proficiency in Faith magic, this could become a problem with enough bad luck. Speaking of Relics and Crests, Byleth has some of the best in the game. The Crest of Flames, while having the lowest activation rate possible of a major crest, has three distinct, useful attributes (Looking at you, Blaiddyd). This means that Byleth’s crest will prove beneficial in a wide array of circumstances. And the Creator Sword! A one-to-two range sword that grows in strength during the story and retains one of the highest base Mt of all swords? All that is holding it back is its low durability and lack of base crit. And both of these can easily be fixed with specific sets and intelligent rationing (see Set #4). All together? Byleth definitely goes above and beyond the typical overpowered My Unit.

My Sets

#1 Enlightened One

This set benefits from Byleth’s well-rounded bases and growths, and is the most customizable of my builds. This set is built around Sacred Power and Byleth’s personal skill, and is meant to be a support based build. Using these skills, as well as Byleth’s Budding Talent, this build is great for someone who would prefer Byleth to take a more secondary role on the battlefield. But don’t be fooled, Byleth will still be plenty capable of dealing with enemies on their own. As a mixed attacker, The Creator Sword will be more powerful than ever, and Byleth will be able to effectively use the Levin Sword+, which has 1~3 range. I would suggest equipping Byleth with a Healing Staff (see below), and one of the many great supportive battalions, preferably ones with a bonus to Mag, to patch Byleth’s poor base and growth. As for abilities, my suggestions are: Mag+2, Faith Avo + 20, Fiendish Blow, Sword Crit + 10, Faith Range + 1, Reason Range +1, Rally Movement or any skills that you prefer.

This set works best as a supportive healer, although it may suffer from low mag. This build has good synergy with Powerhouses, Critical Builds, and Physical Tanks.

Healing Staff Found: Chapter 9 (Chest), Rumored Nupitals (Ingrid & Dorothea Paralogue, Chest), Possibly Others (Please comment if you know!)

#2 Nosferatu & Dodge Tank (Female Best)

Potentially my favorite of the five! Thanks to Byleth’s Budding Talent and Crest, they make for a terrifying Nosferatu Tank. And with the addition of Faith Avo + 20, a near unkillable one too. Your choice of equipment is either an Evasion Ring, Magic Staff, or Either of the Healing Rings (see below). As for other Abilities I would recommend: Faith Lv 5, Faith Range + 1, White Tomefaire, Alert Stance+, Fiendish Blow, Mag + 2, Spd + 2, or any others that you may prefer. Just equip Byleth with Nosferatu, and watch them dodge most attacks coming their way, and heal those that they don’t. As for the class I would recommend Gremory but, since it is Female-Locked, any others with White Magic x2 will work as well. Additionally, feel free to train Byleth in Brawling to make use of the Healing Focus combat art, which works like an unlimited self-heal.

This set is meant as a self-healing tank, although it may suffer from low Mag and a low hit rate. This set has great synergy with Powerhouse sets.

Magic Staff Found: Chapter 10 (Enemy), The Forgotten (Sylvain Paralogue, Enemy), Tournament (AM Chapter 17)

Evasion Ring Found: Church Routes Chapter 13 (AM, VW, SS, Enemy), Chapter 18 (Enemy), Chapter 7 (Steal, Dimitri|Claude), Church Routes Chapter 16 (Enemy)

Goddess Rings Found: No Idea (Please Comment if you know!)

Prayer Ring Found: Chapter 12 (Steal, Hubert), CF Chapter 18 (Chest)

#3 Falcon Knight (Female Only)

This build is very similar to the previous, but relies entirely on dodging, and therefore can be unreliable. This build benefits from the low weight of swords, evasion skills, and Falcon Knight’s built-in +10 avoid. Any sword works with this build, but I would suggest both the Creator Sword and a brave sword. As for abilities, I suggest: Sword Prowess Lv 5, Darting Blow, Alert Stance+, Spd + 2, Dex + 4, as well as any others you prefer. Recommended equipment is the Evasion Ring, although the Speed Ring may work as well (see below). This build is relatively simple, and can be set up very early in the game.

This build it meant as a frontline tank, but it may suffer from low Def, and bad RNG. This build has the best synergy with: Rally Sets, Dancers (For Alert Stance+), and Healers.

Speed Ring Found: No Idea (Please Comment of you know!)

#4 Swordmaster (Hard for Crimson Flower)

As you can gather from what I have said about Byleth’s skills and stats, Byleth is absolutely stellar in the role of Swordmaster. The trick with this build, then, is to bring out their innate talents to absurd level. What does this mean for Byleth? A Critical Build! While the Creator Sword has no innate critical we can buff it with a Critical Ring as well as the ability Sword Crit + 10, which is easy for Byleth to unlock at S Swords. As for it’s limited durability, all me to introduce: The Wao Dao! It has a base 30 Crit, but with the +5 of the Critical Ring (see below), +20 from the stacking Sword Crit Abilities (The second from the class itself), and another +10 from its improvement, Wao Dao+, it will have a total of 65 Crit! As for the rest of Byleth’s abilities, I would suggest any combination of: Swordfaire, Dex + 4, Darting Blow, Alert Stance+, Sword Prowess Lv 5, Str + 2, Spd +2, or any other that you prefer. Keep in mind that some of these skills are easier to attain than others. Finally, for another boost to Crit, use Jeralt’s Mercenaries, a great battalion you get at the start of the game!

This set works best as a front liner, but may suffer from low Def and Res. This set also has great synergy with: Rally Sets, Dancers, and Warp & Rescue Sets.

Critical Ring Found: End of Falling Short of Heaven (Catherine & Ashe Paralogue), Church routes (AM, VW, SS) Chapter 16 (Chest), and bought from Anna’s Shop.

#5 Assassin (Harder on Crimson Flower)

Another Dodge Tank? Say it isn’t so! Good news, it is only slightly a dodge set. This set is a mix of the Falcon Knight and Swordmaster, a Glass Cannon Build! This set is built to capitalize on Byleth’s great Speed, Dexterity, and Strength, and throw everything else to the wayside. Want a high-cost high-reward build? Well here it is! This build will benefit from the Wao Dao and your choice of either the Critical Ring or Evasion Ring. Additionally, like the Falcon Knight set, Assassin Byleth will also use bows: The great Longbow as well as a Killer Bow. Now Byleth can create chaos from close or long range! Suggested Abilities are: Close Counter, Sword Crit + 10, Bow Crit + 10, Darting Blow, Deathblow, Str + 2, Spd + 2 or any others you prefer. In the mood for something even higher risk? Try out Lethality and Assassinate, which you will unlock after mastering assassin. Now every round of combat is exciting! Additionally, you could try out my absolute favorite skill: Steal. (Be sure to keep an eye out for my guide on all stealable items in Three Houses). No matter what, this build is guaranteed to keep you on your toes.

This set works best as a front liner, but may suffer from a lack of Def and Res. This build has the best synergy with: Rally Sets, Dancers, Warp & Rescue Sets, and Physical Tanks.

Critical Ring & Evasion Ring Found Above!

Please keep in mind that Fire Emblem is a game of chance, and therefore these builds are not guaranteed to work every playthrough! Sometimes RNG just says no.

Keep an eye out for my next post! It will either be a guide for one of the lords (Yuri included!) or a guide on which house best fits your play style. If you have a preference, please feel free to make it known!
