Best characters

Ordered by how many published class guides put the unit in this class, then this guide's own class path, then how the unit's preferred skills match the class exam. Ties go to the higher guide tier. The plates under a lord’s name are the guide’s tier on that route; the dark plate is the guide’s overall tier; the outlined plate is the community tier from site votes.

Notes

The 'Sentinel' name is reused: fireemblemwiki.org and fireemblem.fandom.com both only have pages for the classic Radiant Dawn/Fates lance-master Sentinel (cached as Sentinel_(Radiant_Dawn).html / sentinel.json in this session), which is a different, unrelated class -- not FW's white-magic/spear Master-tier Sentinel. No dedicated FW Sentinel page exists on either wiki. No character recommended into Sentinel by Game8's Best Classes guide (Master tier out of that guide's current scope).
