Adjutant is a game mechanic in Fire Emblem: Three Houses similar to the Pair Up mechanic introduced in Fire Emblem Awakening.

Overview[]

Once Byleth has reached Professor Level C, they can select a character during a battle to serve as an Adjutant for a deployed character. An Adjutant character participates in battle as a supportive unit, assisting in their Battalion and providing stats, but otherwise does not directly participate in battle. There are three sub-types of Adjutants, based on the character's class. These include Offensive (indicated with a red sword), Defensive (blue shield), and Support (green sparkles). Offensive adjutants may perform follow-up attacks after the main unit has completed their round of combat, defensive ones may negate enemy follow-up attacks, and Support characters will restore health to the main unit if they are heavily damaged at the start of each turn.

The Adjutant does not affect the total deployed characters and are considered a separate entity in battle. Depending on Byleth's Professor Level, up to three characters can be chosen to be the Adjutants for deployed characters, however only one Adjutant can be assigned to each deployed unit.

Adjutants passively gain experience, pertinent subject proficiency points of the weapon they have currently equipped, support points with the lead unit if applicable, and class mastery points whenever their leading character goes into battle. For offensive Adjutants, if they perform an Adjutant Follow-Up attack, they will not consume a usage of their weapon. If the main unit is defeated, the adjutant will retreat, and will not be permanently lost in Classic Mode.

Furthermore, if the main unit in an Adjutant pair is a flying unit, the Adjutant will be required to be a flying unit as well, however; flying units can be assigned as Adjutants to any unit, regardless of the movement type.

Etymology[]

An Adjutant is a military officer who assists a commanding officer with unit administrative duties.
