Prado Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I promote as soon as I have the promotion item, because I don't have patience to continue training a non-promote unit when it can become stronger right now XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrman Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 FE1: I mess in the guts of it but I haven't actually played it start to finish... Probably ASAP due to promotion bonus mechanics. FE2: ASAP. FE3: At 20. FE4: At 20 (which is ASAP there anyway) FE5: Generally wait till 20 or at least near enough. GBA: At 20. I earlypromoted Franz on my very first playthrough. I regretted it. FE9: At 20 unless you're really slow (looking at you Rhys) FE10: Haven't gotten far enough yet... FE11: At 20. FE12: At 20. FE13: Does it even matter? I waited... I think. FE14: I'll probably wait till 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Mir Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 20 in most games, with Awakening being the exception if a unit was reclassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saisymbolic Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 FE7: Lvl. 15 - 20 FE8: Lvl. 20 FE9/10: Lvl. 20 FE13/14: Varies due to the reclass system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDestr0yer61 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 FE4: At 20 (which is ASAP there anyway) FE4- Level 20, tho that is asapI'm sure if y'all noticed, but I intentionally skipped 4. There is no reason to not promote when you hit level 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Jam Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I've only played FE6 and following, so I can't speak for FE1-5. With the exception of FE13, however, I almost always promote at level 20. For FE13: Reclass at level 10 unpromoted or level 15 promoted, and promote when I have all of the unpromoted class skills I want and most of my stats are maxed out (or if I'm level 20 and don't want to reclass again).

Tolvir Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Typically lvl 20 is when I promote. There are a few exceptions, like healers and characters who may be better served through an earlier promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Draco Knight Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I always promote at level 20 in all the games, aside from FE2, where I actually promote as soon as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Sen Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 For all the games I've played (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14), I always promote at 20, even with healers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrocknroll Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Whenever it's opportune. Sometimes early, sometimes at 20. I typically wait unless I'm yearning for some extra power, but that's why I use some prepromotes anyway. For instance, if there's something that only a strong Pegasus Knight can reach, I'll turn my Peg into a Falcon Knight for the extra stat boosts. In Thracia at the very least, early promotion should be a cornerstone of anyone's playstyle. The caps mean that waiting until 20 might waste that beautiful potential and those beautiful promotion bonuses. In games like FE13/FE14, I don't really find that it matters, but the early games of those have few promotion items anyway. Never forget about Awakening with its lack of buyable Seals until a bit later than they should be In PoR/RD, Level 21, since Seals/Crowns are ridiculously rare in the first place Edited December 28, 2016 by Freyjadour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinks Their Own Way Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Level 20 generally, makes sense to do so when the experience dries up. In Awakening, when I'm skill grinding, level 10 for unprompted class. Then Second Seal at 15 in prompted classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliKad Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I always do it at level 20, except for the NES games, FE3 and SOMETIMES FE5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I generally do it in the early 10's in all the games I can, (4 is the exception of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine Sword Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 In the GBA games it's usually between 10-15, in Fates it's around 15-18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Level 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geek Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Healers generally at 13-15 everyone else at 17-20. Generally later in the GBA games but that's usually because I don't have the promotion items until way later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The only game I promote earlier than at level 20 is FE10, because several stats can be capped early by using bonus experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Pretty much exclusively Level 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayni Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It varies. If I can get the exp for them, definitely 20 in most games: FE1, 2, 3: Can't really say. Not played 1, not played beyond part 1 for 2 and using prepromotes only for 3 FE4: Once they hit 20 (well, they don't need items and it has to be 20) FE5: Thanks to scrolls, whenever works fine. (usually I'd wait til 20, though quite a few can get away with earlier fine if they have quite a few stats over 15). Hero Proofs are only buyable in Chapter 22 as well, so if you're not in the mood to be patient about cheesing it, then really, you won't be promoting too many to begin with. FE6, 7, 8: Tend to go for 20, but if a unit caps a lot of stats beforehand and their remaining growths are more like 15 or 20 percent, then would be a good time to promote. FE9, 10: Not played at all. FE11: Most are unlikely to get too many caps to be honest. 20 can be fine to wait for. FE12: Similar to FE11 FE13: 20 for promoting from their first unpromoted class, then either 15 from their promoted class (with few exceptions) or 10 from any unpromoted classes I'd be grinding skills from. FE14: 20 for promotion, though I've only played Birthright so far. Heart Seals, on the other hand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neptune11111 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 FE2:Immediately, FE2 is basically 0% growths:the game FE3:I haven't played it yet FE4:ASAP since levels dont reset FE5:10-15 FE6:Whenever I finally get a promotion itemFE7:Anytime is fine FE8:13-20 FE9/10:levelling naturally FE11/12:10-15 FE14:Depends, really.

eclipse Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Do I need the extra movement/stats/weapon type/other bonuses? No? Then I wait. When I promote entirely depends on the playthrough - it's literally anywhere from level 10 to level 20 (except FE10, when I promote when the game says to promote).

Reality Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Early, I don't usually have promotion items in storage anymore. Kinda make an exception for 6,7,awakening (only for characters recruited up to ch16 I think) later unite like the children and reclasses beyond the first one just get promoted at 10. the GBA games get slow promotion mostly by nature of availability.
