Advanced Seals are a currency in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes used for unit promotion and unlocking more classes for characters. More specifically, this currency allows units to take the certification exam for an advanced class. To use Advanced Seals, players can head to the Training Grounds in their War Camp and speak with the Training Instructor. This NPC will have various options for enhancing individual characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, and one of these choices is "Acquire Class."
When acquiring new classes, the protagonist in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is provided an index of all the units in their roster. Naturally, not every character can become every class. Nonetheless, players aiming to increase an individual's capabilities or switch their roles in combat will need to spend a certain amount of Advanced Seals, depending on the promotion rank. For example, Petra is a recruitable and playable character that starts as a Myrmidon. If players wish to change her into another class, they will need to give the Training Instructor several Advanced Seals.
This class-altering mechanic is excellent for those looking to not only strengthen the combat power of their units in Fire Emblem Warriors but also switch characters to more optimal classes. For instance, Dorothea's starting class is Monk, but she can achieve her maximum capabilities as a Mage in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Of course, not everyone needs to follow the "meta," but having Advanced Seals for choosing which class better suits a unit is an excellent way to enhance one's gameplay experience.
Farming Advanced Seals in Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes
Before players can acquire or use Advanced Seals for their characters in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, they must first reach Chapter 7 of their corresponding story arc. This restriction will still apply to units who've wholly mastered Intermediate Classes and are ready to take the certification exam for Advanced Classes. Therefore, focus on progressing the main campaign to further enhance such units. Once the protagonist has gotten to Chapter 7, Advanced Seals will become available for purchase from the Item Shopkeeper in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Similar to Intermediate Seals, the stock of Advanced Seals is limited but will resupply at the start of the next chapter.
Other than the Item Shopkeeper, there are three additional ways to get Advanced Seals in Fire Emblem Warriors:
- Accomplish Achievements and receive Advanced Seals from the Rewards Master
- Achieve S Rank in a mission
- Investigate Survey Spots to encounter Traders who will exchange Advanced Seals for Gold
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is available on Nintendo Switch.
