The Thief class is another intermediate class in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. They are particularly useful against enemies with axes and can quickly use a class action following their basic attacks.

Thieves start out with the Sword and can perform a flurry of slashes and swipes before the enemy has even a chance to react.

The following guide will tell you all there is to know about using the Thief class in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.

How To Use Thief Class In FEW:3H

No other class comes close to the Thief class when you want to steal from enemies. Not only can you steal from enemy inventories during a battle but you can also increase the amount of loot you get from dead enemies to speed up your upgrades.

Thieves, however, have some of the lowest health pools in the game. This makes them incredibly brittle to balance out their high speeds and high evasions. Hence, always make sure to cover Thieves with Brigands or Armored Knights. If your Thieves are out in the open, they will probably not survive for long.
