In Fire Emblem Engage, growth rates dictate the percentage chance of each stat – HP, Strength, Magic, Dexterity, Speed, Luck, Defense, Resistance, and Build – increasing by 1 point whenever a character gains a level. Understanding growth rates is key to planning your characters‘ development and class progression.
This guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of all playable characters‘ growth rates in Fire Emblem Engage, as well as growth rates for each promotable class line.

So in summary, growth rates are percentages dictating stat increases on level up. Playable characters have fixed growth rates, while classes provide their own growth rates when units switch into them. Understanding these mechanics is vital to planning your squad‘s progression.
What affects growth rates?
While playable character and class growth rates are static, you can influence them in a few ways:
Class Mastery Abilities – mastering classes earns characters stat-boosting abilities they can equip permanently
Bond Rings – linking characters provides flat stat boosts
Meals – cooking meals provides temporary boosts to all stats
Divine Dragon bonuses – linking with Alear as Divine Dragon boosts growth rates of linked unit
You‘ll want to maximize all these in order to allow characters to realize their maximum stat potential each level.
Optimizing Growth Rates
Here are some tips for optimizing growth rates:
- Have characters master as many classes as possible to collect all stat-boosting master abilities
- Build Bond Ring links between Alear and other units to gain Divine Dragon bonuses
- Feed units their favorite meals before battles to boost their growth rates for that fight
- Consider stat growth rates when deciding final class change for core team members
- Use Renown items that boost growth rates through New Game+ and postgame
With some planning around growth opportunities like these, you can field an incredibly powerful army in Fire Emblems Engage!
