In The Japanese version of Path of Radiance, the Knight class is known as Heavy Infantry ( 重歩兵) class. In The Binding Blade specifically, Gwendolyn is credited as being the first female Knight to appear in the series. The Knight primarily promotes into General, although the branched promotion system in The Sacred Stones further gives them the option to promote into Great Knight. Armor Knight and its promotions use Swords exclusively unlike in Fire Emblem.įrom Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade to Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, the different variants of the Armor Knight class are merged back into a singular Lance-wielding entity that is simply referred to as the Knight class in localized versions. In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, the Armor Knight class, depending on the character in question, either promote into the classic General class or the mounted Iron Knight class. All three versions of the class are known to promote into the General class. Depending on the type of weapon that is assigned to each variant, Armor Knights specialize in Lances, Axes, Swords or Bows. In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, the Armor Knight class is split into four distinct forms: the classic Lance-wielding Armor, the Axe Armor, the Sword Armor and the Bow Armor. The advent of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem sees the General class being posited as the main promoted form of the Armor Knight class. Armors are able to further promote into the third tier Baron when the necessary requirements are met. In Fire Emblem Gaiden, the Knight is simply known as the Armor and serves as the second tier of the Soldier line. This version of the class is unable to promote, in spite of the existence of the General class in the game. In their original inception in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Armor Knights are established as units that are slow-moving, yet renowned for their unparalleled Defense, they can equip Lances, as well as Swords.

They are one of few classes that count as armored units, which leaves them vulnerable to bonus damage from weapons such as Armorslayers and Hammers. Often wielding Lances as their sole weapon of choice, Knights are generally hampered by low Movement and compensate for this with their good physical stats across the board. Knights recurrently appear across the Fire Emblem Series.
