Buying DLC-Class Skills without the DLC?

[CallMeViggy]

Apologies if this question has already been asked, but I was wondering: If I haven't bought any DLC, would it be possible for me to buy a DLC-Class Skill (ex. Warp) for one of my units?

I don't think you can buy DLC skills at all. You'll pretty much have to grind for them on your own.

(I think) you could recruit the character instead and still get the skill.

You can. I also downloaded an Anna even though I don't have the DLC.

Granted if DLC skills can't be bought from other players, there's no way to get infinite DLC skills from classes such as Great Lord (Female only), Vanguard (Male only), Grand Master (Male only) and Lodestar (Male only). Due to the game mechanics, skills learned from each of those classes must FIRST be learned by a unit in that class. This means that if you want to learn certain skills that can only be learned from a DLC class, you need to stay in that class to learn them before reclassing. That said, if you reclassed to one of those unique classes and your unit's level is above the first skill's required level, you'll learn that class's first skill first then...I'll just explain it like this:

*If a unit has used Eternal Seals and is already Lvl 35-40+ (in a non-special class/special classes are DLC classes in addition to Songstress, Maid and Butler as these unique classes have a normal level cap of 40 before Eternal Seals can be applied) in the destined DLC class and the first DLC skill is learned at Lvl 5, that unit will first learn these level skills in order as they level up normally (in this case you'll learn the ordered skill as you level up):

**This only applies if the unit in a DLC Class is at Lvl 35+: (First level up) Lvl 5 DLC Skill -> (Second level up) Lvl 15 DLC Skill -> (Third level up) Lvl 25 DLC Skill -> (Fourth level up) Lvl 35 DLC Skill.

*If a unit reclasses to a DLC Class and they aren't even Lvl 5 yet (in either their base or promote class), then they will learn the skills in order via level up.

Unique Classes such as DLC-exclusive in addition to Songstress, Maid and Butler have a default max level cap of 40 before Eternal Seals can be used (this means that units in those classes must first be Lvl 40 before they can use Eternal Seals). Additionally, unique classes can't promote normally, they must either reclass to a base class via Heart/Partner/Friendship Seal when their level is below Lvl 20 and then use a Master Seal to promote to a promoted class or use any of the above mentioned seals when they are at least lvl 20 (in their unique class) to reclass into a promoted class. When reclassing a unique class unit one of these two events will occur unless the unit in a unique class has used Eternal Seals to get their other non-unique classes to Lvl 35+:

*Reclassing a unique class to a standard class such as Azura as a Lvl 25 Songstress to a Paladin will send her Level to Lvl 5. If she were Lvl 19 as a Songstress, she would end up as a Lvl 9 Knight.

->Explanation: Standard classes have a default max level cap of 20, since unique classes have a standard max level cap of 40, a character who starts off as a unique unit will reclass to a base class (if below Lvl 20) or to a promoted class (Lvl 20+). Also when reclassing a unique character class to a promoted class, that character will lose drop down 20 levels to match up (the lowest level Azura will hit via this event is Lvl 1 if she were a Lvl 20 Songstress) hence why Azura went from Lvl 25 to Lvl 5 upon reclassing to a standard promoted class unit. In the case of Azura being below Lvl 20 as a Songstress, she would reclass to a base class and the level drop is only 10 levels.

-->Exception 1: This rule is apparently only applied to Azura as Felicia, Flora and Jakob, or anyone in the Maid/Butler class retains their current level upon reclassing to any other class. (I have checked this for myself using Felicia). Yes, this means that if Felicia was a Lvl 19 Maid she would reclass to a Lvl 19 Samurai using a Partner Seal if her support partner's support rank was A+ and had Samurai as their primary class (or if her support partner was Corrin with Samurai as their secondary class). On the same side, if Felicia was a Lvl 20 Maid, she would reclass to a Lvl 20 Master of Arms or Swordmaster.

-->Exception 2: If Azura had already reclassed to a promoted class and was already Lvl 40 due to Eternal Seals before returning to Songstress, upon reclassing to another/or the same promoted class won't affect her level. This part might need to be edited if it is wrong.

*Reclassing a unique class from a standard class back to their unique class (only applies to Azura if the above event occurs). During this event, if Azura is a Lvl 18 Paladin and uses a Heart Seal to reclass to Songstress, she will automatically gain 20 levels. If Azura used the same method but was a Lvl 6 Knight, she would end up as a Lvl 16 Songstress.

-Ruling: Base Class Level (current) + 10 Levels = Azura's level as a Songstress

-Ruling: Promoted Class Level (current) + 20 levels = Azura's level as a Songstress

->Explanation: This only applies to Azura herself. Apparently, the game treats her as very 'unique' and causes her level to raise and drop upon reclassing between Songstress and any other class that isn't DLC-related.

-->Exception: If Azura had used Eternal Seals after hitting Lvl 20 while as a promoted class (not a unique class) and hit Lvl 40, her level will not increase when reclassing back to Songstress. This might need editing if it is wrong.
