Class Skills / Class Specialization
Jack of all Trades
Learn all skills on a single skill tree in one playthrough
This is best done near the end of the game. I got it by spending at least one point on each of the Cavalier’s possible skills. I tried the same thing with an Apothecary but it didn’t pop.
Core and Advanced Specializations
A Well Rounded Military
Get all Core Class specializations across troops
Military Mastery
Get all Advanced Class specializations across troops
With regards to these 2 achievements:
- Core = Basic Classes (Cavalier, Apothecary, Etc)
- Advanced = their Promotions
There are 9 Core Specializations:
- Cavalier = One-Handed / Two-Handed
- Apothecary = Field Medic / Corrosive Concoctions
- Warmancer = Path of Flame / Ice / Lightning
- Ranger = Bow Mastery / Crossbow Mastery
There are 16 Advanced Specializations (4 Core Classes * 2 Promotions * 2 Specializations):
- Cavalier
- Inquisitor = Holy Reckoning / Aura of Light
- Ronin = Wandering Soul / Trance Arts
- Apothecary
- Monk = Furious Blows / Arcane Energies
- Shaman = Cosmic Overseer / Darker Paths
- Warmancer
- Druid = Nature’s Harmony / Manipulate Earth
- Sorcerer = Wild Magic / Touch of Death
- Ranger
- Hunter = Death from Above / Guerilla Tactics
- Reaver = Dagger Arts / Hired Assassin
To get these achievements, you need at least 1 of each Specialization concurrently. You’ll know that a unit is specialized if they have the Specialization text under their respective Class/Job
You can complete both achievements as soon as level 19 since you only need to spend as little as 1 skill point in the Advanced Classes to pick a specialization. This means you’ll need at least 16 differently specialized recruits (Uniques included) to earn Military Mastery.

Recruit Lefty
In Chapter 3, there will be a contract related to Lefty. Upon completing this Contract’s battle, Lefty automatically joins after a heartwarming cutscene. There’s also a Contract related to Poncho in Chapter 1. I’m not sure if this is required, but to be on the safe side I recommend just completing all available contracts per chapter.
