-There's no class-specific level caps, you can keep your units in Noble/Commoner class all the way up to level 30 and beyond (though I wouldn't recommend it).

-Mastering a class gives you the Master Ability(s), but doesn't provide any other benefits. Since you can only have 5 abilities and 3 combat arts on a character at any given time, there's no point to mastering every class. Just master the ones that you want the skills from.

For that reason you might actually want to stay in a lower class to master it and unlock its ability even if you have a better class available. It's a trade-off and you have to decide if you'd rather have that ability or get the stat bonuses from the class sooner rather than later.

Once you've unlocked a class on a character you can change back and forth in between battles at no cost, so as long as you have money for Seals you can get as many certifications as you want or think you might use.

Thanks. That makes sense. For non-grinding, choose growth unless there's a really good ability.

I assume that the DLC wave 2 Auxiliary battle maps will allow fast grinding similar to the DLCs for previous titles. With grinding, it sounds like the optimal path would be to go for the best stat growth classes first and cap character level before switching back and mastering key classes for abilities.

Can someone help explain the leveling, class-changing, and mastery progression beyond what is currently listed on the main page?

I understand that the progression is to get to levels 5/10/20/30 and then to change to the best growth class available ASAP, but I am not sure what comes next. Stay in that class until the level cap? And then once you are at level cap (which is what?), you can go about mastering other classes?

Aside from the Master Ability, does mastering classes provide any other benefits to other classes? Would there be any benefit to mastering every class on a character?
