Trivia

  • Of the four bonus amiibo classes inFates, the Grandmaster has the fewest completely newskills among them, with onlyTactical Advice not having appeared inAwakening.
    • The Grandmaster is, however, the only one of the four bonus amiibo classes who does not have at least one skill that overlaps with another bonus amiibo class.
