Subclass, and reincarnation question.

[Such a waste of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time.]

for the sake of my created characters is it best to change into whatever class i wanna go to after i mastered one? I saw some info that said i'd get the bonuses for each class either way, but for the sake of skills. is kinda why im wondering. i know i can use the skill squad also as an option.

If you want to have specific class skills, yes, reincarnate into that class once you are done maxing your subclasses.

You don't have to reincarnate to change subclass by the way, and you can max them all in the same reincarnation.

every generic humanoid unit gets 2 skills that only they can use. (same for monsters but 3ish skills) those cant be transfered.

you dont need to reincarnate over and over again to give a unit every skill/evility that they could possibly get. infact, you dont need to reincarnate even once, however you wanna reincarnate atleast once with all subclasses maxed (yes, all, including dlc ones) to max out your base stats. after that, when leveling in the Elite 4 squad you max out your base stats naturally (but im assuming that you arent there, so forget about that for now)

you can get all evilitys by leveling the specific subclass. for unique units evilities you need to buy the evility on the unit in question, equipt it and do a char world run with them. then print the evility into a scroll (one of the copies at the end of the character world will let you do that) and let whoever you want to have that evility on read the scroll.

you can do the same for skills altho in the case of magic it might be faster to just use the skill squad to teach them terra elemental magic (with metallica as the leader, who learns all 3 terra elemental spells at level 40 or so, and a galaxy mage or sage or whatever for star)

Okay and yeah, as soon as i hit episode 9 i unlocked all the classes (i could )got a sage to 150, did some innocent grinding but wasnt sure how to handle the subclass thing,the skill squad makes passing skills easy enough, but i wanted to ask here for an opinion on it, since the last main game of this i played was 4 lol, BIG changes , and thanks though for the answers.

During the main story and early post game, don't bother trying to max out subclasses. Getting that last star takes a looooooooong time before you hit LoC. For peak efficiency during the main story I'd say get a bunch of classes up to 2-3 stars for the useful evilities. A REALLY good one that's probably overlooked is imp, because they have evilities that reverse the effect of status effects. Reverse poison and reverse paralyze are ridiculously good and will serve you well.

you dont need subclasses at all before you open up LoC. just get the ones that you want for damage evilities and burst your way trough the bosses to open up LoC with one strong unit and maids for afternoon teaparty.
