Fortune's Weave class exams and class-change guide

A practical class-exam checklist for reading requirements, protecting your save, and separating verified class rules from launch-week speculation.

Start with the exam screen, not a tier list

Reddit discussions ask whether a character must be certified in a matching “blue” beginner class before taking a “blue” specialty exam, and whether early class changes are worth it. Those threads reveal the pain point, but they are not enough to establish every prerequisite. Read the in-game requirement panel for level, weapon or magic, stats, and mastered classes before committing.

How this guide labels evidence
Until exact requirements are confirmed by the game or multiple independent checks, this page does not infer prerequisites from a color, class name, or a single screenshot.

Five steps before a class change

  1. Open the exam panel and record every requirement and missing item.
  2. Check what the current class is contributing: skills, proficiency, and equipment access.
  3. Decide what the next battle needs: damage, durability, healing, or range.
  4. Create a separate save before the exam so you can compare the result with your current role.
  5. Use community recommendations only after checking that the protagonist, difficulty, and route match yours.

What is confirmed about the wider combat layer

Nintendo confirms a tactical RPG layer with classes, weapons, magic, armor, and special attacks. Blaze Arts consume HP; the Blaze Gauge provides a power boost at halfway, while a full gauge triggers Burst, ends the bonus, and halves the hero’s maximum HP. A full class list and character-specific recommendations belong in a later verified database, not in a guessed tier list.
