I don't get class proficiency

[RickMalmsteenBR]

I have been playing this game for 10 hours, chapter 3 and both the chracters I recruited have not raised a single star. It is forever with one star only.

Am I doing something wrong?

By now i believe it should have raised half a star or rank 2 star

I don't get it.

Class mastery raises depending on the level of the enemies you kill (also, with heal and support spells, I think?).

Each subsequent star takes 4 times more class exp to get than the previous one, except the last which takes 16 times more.

The amount needed also depends from the class. The default classes are the easiest to raise, and endgame classes like Sage, Pirate and Dark Knight are harder to raise.

Always give a subclass to unique characters, as they have no class to raise by default. For generics, focus a bit more on their own class, as they automatically rank up with their class mastery. Otherwise, it's better to spread class mastery between multiple classes than purely focus on one. Pick subclasses depending on the role of the character (melee classes for melee characters, etc.).

Each star unlocks an evility at the skill shop and boosts base stats (and thus future stat gains upon leveling up) depending on the class and tier. The Prinny subclass gives much more base stats than any other class.

Why can't I pass the first star? Is this tied to story progression? I am chapter 4 and subclass on Killia, it raised to one star, but it does not go over that.

I ve been reading and is it correct to asume I cannot get past one star until I can face enemies over level 100?

[Arkten]

i didnt master my first class until around level 6000. because its based off level of monsters you fight, it is not possible to master by grinding lower level mobs. so you really cant master one until around level 4k to 6k. sux.

yes and no
"Mastering" means all star filled and the word "MASTER" in all caps over them. the fastest possible to reach master in a class is around level 100. but it takes quite a lot of preparation and knowledge to do.

The default class of a generic character (one you actively recruit/buy) is always the same as what classe you chose when creating him/her. A warrior will always be defaulted to warrior when created. you can change their class in the assembly.
A Story CHaracter (such as Killia or Seraphina) have NO default classe set. you need to set it yourself

The class growth rate is affected by 2 thing : the type of class and what growth rank you gave him.
Incompetent are much much slower to rank up.
Genius are much much faster to rank up.

Some classes grow faster than other. The easiest way to grow is by killing a lot of enemies. it doesnt change much if the killing blow is made from a combo or tower or team attck. as long as the one you want to grow was part of the very last thing that got the kill. if combo, he need to land the killing blow. if tower or team attack, he just need to be part of it, he could miss and still gain the exp. no worries.

Once you unlock the cheat shop it become much easier to grow. some squad allow for faster growth when some character/evility are mixed in the squad.

btw, male fighter are the fastest to rank up while sage is one of the slowest.

You're still in the early stages of the game. Raise your mains to around level 150-200, finish the game, and then focus on mastery.

[RickMalmsteenBR]

Thanks for the tips guys. It seems I am fretting over something that should be done post game. I get obsessive when I get a game with so much stuff to do x_x

[Prinny]

you'll get more mastery just playing normally at this point. the last star of mastery gives you the ability to put the class basic evility as a secondary "main" evility.
you get the 2nd "main" evility slot much later, about the same time you start grinding for real and/or use the chara world board.

[RickMalmsteenBR]

I have a few more questions, what is the limit for characters? I crrently have 36.

The purpose for chara board is to incread evility slots correct?

[KarmaTheAlligator]

You can have 100+ characters, not sure what the exact limit is.

Chara world is there to increase everything about the character (evility slots, movement, aptitudes, pass on known skill of evility, etc...)

[Vosu]

Created character limit is 111. +17 main and dlc characters gives 128 characters in total. You can increase max battle dispatch via dark assembly.
You needn't focus on chara world until you're post-game and upgrading sages+mains. It's for increasing aptitudes mostly, as you'll do evility slots faster.

To get more stars quickly, you have to reincarnate your character to a better class. Give it the maximum stats possible since the starting points increase the growth of each level.

The only issue with reincarnation is you start back to level 1, but it should be easy to level up.

You are absolutely not required to reincarnate at all to get more stars. First, there's an option to switch sub class in the dark assembly. Second, the class proficiency you get is based on how strong the things you kill are.
