Having no Class Emblem for the late-game bosses is arguably a deadly mistake. To avoid such a rookie error, players should use this detailed guide on finding, equipping, and exploiting Class Emblems inChained Echoes.
What Do Class Emblems Do in Chained Echoes?
InChained Echoes, Class Emblem is an archetype item that changes the attributes and abilities of characters. It adds four Skill Slots to each character and enables them to equip extra Action and Passive Skills. In total, there are 12 Class Emblems that grant 24 new Class Skills.

Players should think of Class Emblem as a Type booster. A Cleric Emblem, for example, gives two Active and two Passive “Healing” abilities to a Support-Type character. A Warrior Emblem, on the other hand, does the same for a Fighter-Type character, just with “Attack” abilities.
How to Get Class Emblems?
To acquire a Class Emblem, players will need to pray to a Heroes of Leonar statue and beat the challenge. Twelve exotic statues are scattered in Valandis, each protecting a specific Emblem. By offering them Sacred Water, players get to fight a group of enemies for a chance to win Class Emblems.
Starting each Hero of Leonar challenge requires one Sacred Water. So, players should gather enough flasks before opting into the side quests.Six flasks of Sacred Water are hidden in chests, five are obtainable through Chained Rewards, and one is part of the quest line. It’s also worth noting that the last three Class Emblems involve “Church Keys.”
As the game progresses andplayers level up, the Class Emblem missions grow more hostile. The point of the Emblem missions is to prove oneself worthy of the Class, which is why Sky Armors are not allowed in the arena. Players must rely only on theirbest unlocked abilitiesto get them.
How to Equip and Use Class Emblems?
To equip a Class Emblem, players will need to go to the pause menu, open the Equipment tab, and attach a Class Emblem to each character under the titular section. After that, they can head to the Set Skills menu and equip the additional four Class Skills to activate the Emblem.
Class Skills are functional for as long as the corresponding Emblem is equipped or the abilities are maxed out. In other words, once a Class Skill is at its maximum level, it remains active even without the Emblem.Spending SP on abilitiesmaxes them out.
