Notes
- Game8's growth-rate table also spells this class 'Swordmaster' (one word), matching fireemblemwiki.org's page title; classes.json uses the two-word 'Sword Master' spelling from the class-list page -- recorded as a spelling variance, not a different class. No character recommended into Sword Master by Game8's Best Classes guide (Master tier out of scope). fireemblem.fandom.com's generic Swordmaster page (33KB) has no Fortune's Weave mention anywhere in its per-game stat templates.
