Alfred, like many other units, has a unique Advanced Class. Special Advanced Classes focus on that unit’s strengths, making a fighter unlike any other. Alfred’s Avenir class makes him a well-rounded fighter with Swords and Lances. Swords have a B Rank, while Lances boast an A-Rank in the Avenir class, making Alfred an excellent close-range fighter with incredible mobility.

To further improve Alfred’s effectiveness in battle, you’ll need to outfit him with an Emblem ring. Emblems house the spirits of famous Fire Emblem characters from past entries. The Sigurd Emblem focuses on boosting Lance and Sword capabilities, making it an excellent fit for a young Avenir.

The more you level your bond with an Emblem ring, the more skills you’ll unlock. Below are the rewards for levels one to ten for the Sigurd ring. Once a unit hits level five, units can inherit these skills permanently and have them effective even when the ring isn’t equipped.

Despite Alfred and Sigurd working best for us during our playthrough, we encourage you to experiment with the Emblem rings to see what effects unique combinations can yield. There are 30 units and 12 Emblems, so shake things up once you inherit some skills.
