(Elightened One is a Special Class, not a Third Tier as Byleth does not have a class between like the House Leaders and their unique Lord classes.)

Third Tier is a level that can be achieved in Fire Emblem Gaiden, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

In Radiant Dawn, Third Tier is the final promotion for Beorc units. Second Tier units can achieve Third Tier simply by reaching level 21, or by using a Master Crown when at level 10 or higher. However, in the Japanese version of Radiant Dawn, Third Tier could only be achieved via use of a Master Crown. Third Tier classes are incredibly powerful, but they typically have the same battle animations as their Second Tier counterparts. They receive an Occult skill upon promotion, and can often have non-HP stats beyond the cap of 30, which is very rare in the Fire Emblem series. Some player units start at Third Tier, and they include Bastian, Volke, Oliver, and Renning.

Very few Third Tier enemies exist, they are never encountered as Generic Units, instead a few bosses such as Levail and Lekain appear. However, in Part 4 chapters, enemies have similar stat caps to the Third Tier units, although they are not actually classified as being Third Tier, instead being what are known as SP Classes.

In Three Houses, the Third Tier is called Master tier in the game. Unlike in Gaiden/Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and Radiant Dawn, the Master classes in Three Houses are not generally that much stronger than Advanced classes, instead being more versatile.
