Authority

Authority is a unit type stat introduced in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Profile
Authority dictates a unit's ability to use Battalions, requiring higher Authority to command stronger ones. Units who are trained in this stat also gain useful, and often unique, skills for them to equip.

Most classes do not require a focus on Authority in order to receive certification except for the house leaders Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude who require it in order to promote into the Lord class.
