| 15 | -->'''Class Type''': Sword, Shield, Infantry, Armor\ |
| 16 | '''Gender''': Male\ |
| 17 | '''Promotion''': Vanguard\ |
| 18 | '''Active Skills''': Warding Slash, Shield Bash (Level 15), Defender (Level 20 Vanguard)\ |
| 19 | '''Passive Skills''': Arrow Cover, Quick Guard (Level 10), Provoke (Level 25 Vanguard)\ |
| 20 | '''Leader Effect''': Resist Ranged Assist\ |
| 21 | '''Valor Skill''': Provoke (II) |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Shield-bearing swordsmen that excel in protecting their allies from ranged attacks. |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * AntiAir: [[GuideDangIt Not that the game explains this anywhere]], but attacks sourced from flying units are also considered to be ranged, so Fighters can be used to protect your cavalry from the gryphons and wyverns who would normally devastate them. |
| 26 | * BoringButPractical: A fighter's main role is defensive, with mediocre damage output and fairly unimpressive performance as a frontline tank. Where they shine is in [[NoSell blocking arrows meant for squishy or flying targets]], allowing a single fighter to shore up the defenses of multiple vulnerable units. |
| 27 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Fighters are good at protecting allies from ranged attacks, meaning in a party where you have units weak to ranged attacks they are solid defenders, but they don't do much in battle besides that, so if the enemy isn't targeting ranged units, Fighters don't contribute much to the party. |
| 28 | * DefendCommand: Fighters have the guard skill, ''Quick Guard'', and the cover skill, ''Arrow Cover''. ''Arrow Cover'' is practically a godsend for flying units, as the Fighter can protect them from archers that prioritizes targeting them. |
| 29 | * EyeObscuringHat: The Fighter's helmet cast a deep shadow that almost completely hides their eyes. The only time you can clearly see their eyes is during their triumph pose. |
| 30 | * KnightlySwordAndShield: They run a middle path between the offense of a Sellsword and the defense of a Hoplite. Their shields are particularly useful for defending themselves and allies against physical ranged attacks. |
| 31 | * LogicalWeakness: They count as an Armored unit and rely a lot on their shields for defending against melee attacks, so naturally they're weak against the Unguardable, AntiArmor attacks from Warriors and Breakers. |
| 32 | * LoopholeAbuse: Elven Archer attacks are magical in nature, and will melt Hoplites despite their resembling the arrows they usually block without issue. And they'll usually do the same to a Fighter. However, their attacks are also registered as ranged physickal attacks, so if a Fighter blocks them with ''Arrow Cover'', they will receive no damage from them. |
| 33 | * NoSell: ''Arrow Cover'' not only allows Fighters to take ranged physickal attacks intended for their teammates, but also ''comletely nullifies'' any and all damage from said attacks, allowing Fighters to effectively tank archers and fliers even if they've been inflicted with the Guard Seal or Defense Down status ailments. |
| 34 | * PracticalTaunt: |
| 35 | ** Their valor skill ''Provoke'' forces an enemy unit to march towards the unit with the Fighter that initiated the valor skill in their formation for 10 seconds, even working against units that are on watchtowers. This doesn't work on enemies garrisoned in towns or fortification, which are usually [[ContractualBossImmunity bosses]]. Upon promoting to Vanguard, the valor skill can target enemies within an area-of-effect. It is very useful in preventing enemy Thieves from running away with any stolen gold they gained from using ''Plunder''. |
| 36 | ** Their Vanguard-exclusive passive skill ''Provoke'' allows them to force a row of enemies to attack the Vanguard at the start of battle. Combine with gaining 50% guard rate from using the passive skill and the +50% defense buff from ''Defender'', and they can hold the line against a barrage of physickal attacks. |
| 37 | * ShieldBash: One of their attacks is a shield bash that inflicts stun upon the enemy. |
| 38 | * ViolationOfCommonSense: You'd think the armored, shield-bearing Fighter would belong in the front row, but thanks to their CripplingOverspecialization against ranged attacks, the best place for them is actually in the ''back'' row, placed behind friendly cavalry and fliers. |

| 41 | [[folder:Gladiator]] |
| 42 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gladiator_78.png]] |
| 43 | [[quoteright:350:[[labelnote: When promoted into Berserker]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/berserker_24.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 44 | -->'''Class Type''': Axe, Infantry\ |
| 45 | '''Gender''': Male\ |
| 46 | '''Promotion''': Berserker\ |
| 47 | '''Active Skills''': Wide Smash, Mounting Charge (Level 20 Berserker), Grand Smash (Level 30 Berserker)\ |
| 48 | '''Passive Skills''': Bulk Up, Wide Counter (Level 15), Berserk (Level 25 Berserker)\ |
| 49 | '''Leader Effect''': Barrier Breaker\ |
| 50 | '''Valor Skill''': Toughness (II) |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Wild axe-wielding hulking men that can wipe out a row of foes. |
| 53 | ---- |
| 54 | * AchillesHeel: |
| 55 | ** Units that can take away their passive points, like thieves and shamans. Without ''Bulk Up'', Gladiators will fall like dominoes due to their lack of survivability. |
| 56 | ** To a lesser extent, crowd control effects. If they're Stunned, Frozen, or inflicted with Passive Seal, they won't be able to use ''Bulk Up'' regardless of how much PP they have left. |
| 57 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They're the equivalent of the "Barbarian[=/=]Brigand[=/=]Pirate[=/=]Berserker" class in ''Franchise/FireEmblem''. |
| 58 | * AwesomeButImpractical: |
| 59 | ** ''Grand Smash.'' Leapinig twenty feet into the air and unleashing a massive GroundPound on an entire enemy team with [[FullHealthBonus potentially]] 150% attack potency without needing to spend a turn charging up first sounds awesome on paper, but its low base accuracy combined with the Berserker's already poor aim and the fact that it's a ground-based attack that always misses against flying units, makes it rather impractical in practice. |
| 60 | ** The entire class deals with this as well. A musclebound giant of a man who is capable of inflicting tons of damage, hitting wide areas of foes and having self-healing sounds like a ''great'' front-liner to have... but in practice, their stats are too poor and their accuracy even worse really capstone off of that without having a right team composition. |
| 61 | * BarbaricBattleaxe: Half-naked [[TopHeavyGuy Top-Heavy Guys]] who are muscular as hell and fight with axes as big as a normal person, with their promotion's axes getting even bigger. They also fight like TheBerserker in combat as well. |
| 62 | * TheBerserker: Their promotion. Upon reaching Level 25, they learn ''Berserk'', a passive skill that sacrifices all of their passive points to gain an active point and allow them to [[LastChanceHitPoint survive a single fatal blow]]. |
| 63 | * CounterAttack: ''Wide Counter'' allows them to counterattack with a row-hitting attack. |
| 64 | * GlassCannon: On one hand, their HP is fantastic and their physickal attacks can do a lot of hurting. On the other hand, their stats in '''everything else''' is terrible, especially defenses. Downplayed in that their HP is so absolutely ''monstrous'' that it's nigh-impossible to kill them in a single hit without stacking multiple offensive buffs first, including guaranteed crits and improved crit damage. |
| 65 | * FullHealthBonus: They deal a lot more damage if their HP is full, and are designed like a GlassCannon. They rely on topping himself with their passive ability ''Bulk Up'', which recovers 40% of their HP when hit, and a partner that can heal them, like a Soldier or Cleric, in order to reach their maximum potential. |
| 66 | * HealingFactor: To make up for their high HP and low defense, their passive skill ''Bulk Up'' recovers 40% of their HP upon receiving a hit. Upon reaching Level 20 as a Berserker, they gain the active skill ''Mounting Charge'' that allows them to heal 30% HP and grant themselves an attack buff. |
| 67 | * HerdHittingAttack: Their basic active ability ''Wide Smash'' is a SpinAttack that deals damage to a row of enemies. Their Level 15 passive skill, ''Wide Counter'', allows him to counterattack with a row-hitting attack. Their Level 30 skill as Berserkers, ''Grand Smash'', targets all ground-based enemies. |
| 68 | * MasterOfNone: Their [=HP=] and Physickal Attack are absolutely excellent, with their [=HP=] being the highest in the game... but their ''everything else'' is utterly horrible, and in practice, they take too much damage and have too little initiative for their HealingFactor to really be a good trade-off. Not that there aren't compositions that can't make them competitive, but even with this, their stat compositions are still not good at all. |
| 69 | * PowerfulButInaccurate: Their innate offensive abilities can do a lot of damage to a lot of enemies... if they can hit them, due to their unimpressive E rank in accuracy, and their skills' 75-80% hit rate. |
| 70 | * TopHeavyGuy: Design-wise, their upper body looks twice as wide as their (still impressive) lower body. |
| 71 | * UnskilledButStrong: They have a high Physickal Attack stat and a lot of health, but their accuracy, speed and defense all suck. |

| 74 | [[folder:Hoplite]] |
| 75 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hoplite_0.png]] |
| 76 | [[quoteright:350:[[labelnote: When promoted into Legionnaire]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/legionnaire.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 77 | -->'''Class Type''': Spear, Greatshield, Infantry, Armor\ |
| 78 | '''Gender''': Male\ |
| 79 | '''Promotion''': Legionnaire\ |
| 80 | '''Active Skills''': Sting, Row Protection (Level 25 Legionnarie), Greatshield (Level 30 Legionnarie)\ |
| 81 | '''Passive Skills''': Heavy Cover, Guardian (Level 15), Row Cover (Level 20 Legionnarie)\ |
| 82 | '''Leader Effect''': Resist Ranged Assist\ |
| 83 | '''Valor Skill''': Fortress (II) |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Heavily-armored soldiers who are nearly impervious to physickal attacks. |
| 86 | ---- |
| 87 | * AchillesHeel: Hoplites have two: |
| 88 | ** Magick. Spells in this game are [[ShieldsAreUseless unblockable by default]], and the M.Def growth of Hoplites is quite literally ''non-existant,'' with a resounding base stat of... ''1''. In fact, they're so vulnerable to Magick that if you manage to walk your unit into the range of overlapping enemy Magick Assists from enemy units led by Wizards and Witches, they can end up killed before the fight even properly begins! |
| 89 | ** [[ArmorPiercingAttack Armor-Piercing Attacks]]. Hoplites are the best physickal tank in the game, but that distinction ends up becoming meaningless against enemies that have an innate ability to pierce through their defense. Warriors are a hard-counter to the class for this reason, and any class that has some form of AntiArmor is best avoided; while it's not as devastating to a Hoplite as Magick, it'll still take off a huge chunk of their health if you're not careful. |
| 90 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They're the equivalent of the "Knight[=/=]General" class in ''Franchise/FireEmblem''. |
| 91 | * BoringButPractical: They're not gonna do a lot of damage without the right set-up and they're utterly toasted by magic, but when it comes to soaking up physickal damage or protecting the back row, there's ''literally'' no better class than these guys. Make no mistake, mobility wise, they're still Armored units and still slow units they're attached to down considerably, but they can circumvent one of the traditional pitfalls of ''Franchise/FireEmblem''[='=]s foot knights by designating someone else as the party leader, making them far easier to use in [[StealthPun general]]. |
| 92 | * GuideDangIt: The game is shy about explaining what "stage damage" ''Fortress'' would negate entails. This not only includes environmental hazards but traps, projectile valor skills, and siege weaponry such as catapults as well; basically anything besides a fight with another unit that would cause damage won't. |
| 93 | * HeavilyArmoredMook: An armored unit that boasts the highest physickal defense, but are vulnerable to magic and AntiArmor attacks. |
| 94 | * MightyGlacier: They have ''monstrous'' Physickal Defense and while their attack isn't the greatest, is still good enough that it can pack a punch against softer enemies. Their Evasion, however, is non-existent, as is their Initiative and mobility on any map as a party leader. [[DumpStat Not that this is a problem]] as those things [[HeavilyArmoredMook literally aren't what they're paid for]]. |
| 95 | * StatusBuff: ''Row Protection'' grants a physickal defense buff to a row of allies, ''Greatshield'' grants themselves a physickal defense buff and 2 passive points so that they can keep on defending allies, and Guardian grants them a physickal attack and guard rate buff upon receiving a physickal hit. |
| 96 | * StoneWall: Their defenses and guard rate growth are the highest possible in the game, at the cost of mediocre offence and even worse critical rates and initiative. As Armored units they also stall out the mobility of any units they're part of, regardless of if they're the unit leader. |
| 97 | * TakingTheBullet: Hoplites excel in taking physickal damage and their ''Heavy Cover'' passive skill allow them to cover for a weaker foe. |

| 103 | -->'''Class Type''': Axe, Infantry, Shield (As Viking)\ |
| 104 | '''Gender''': Male\ |
| 105 | '''Promotion''': Viking\ |
| 106 | '''Active Skills''': Smash, Rolling Axe (Level 10), Wide Breaker (Level 20 Viking)\ |
| 107 | '''Passive Skills''': Parting Blow, Frenzied Strike (Level 15), War Horn (Level 25 Viking)\ |
| 108 | '''Leader Effect''': Barrier Breaker\ |
| 109 | '''Valor Skill''': Vitalize (II) |
| 110 | |
| 111 | A strong axe-wielding class who specializes in reducing the enemies' defense. |
| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They're the equivalent of the "Fighter[=/=]Warrior" class in ''Franchise/FireEmblem''. |
| 114 | * BarbaricBattleaxe: Due to being inspired by [[HornyVikings vikings]], their weapons of choice are axes. |
| 115 | * BlowThatHorn: Their Viking-exclusive passive skill ''War Horn'' has them blowing his horn to signal their allies to battle, granting them a buff that [[UnblockableAttack negate the enemy's ability to guard]]. |
| 116 | * CounterAttack: ''Frenzied Strike'' allows them to counter any enemies that attacked an ally and reduce the enemy's defense by 15%. |
| 117 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: Their skills revolve around decreasing the enemy's defense so that any follow-up attacks can defeat the enemy quicker. For example, ''Smash'' reduces defense by 20%. |
| 118 | * HerdHittingAttack: |
| 119 | ** ''Rolling Axe'' deals damage to a row of enemies 3 times and decreases the enemy's defense by 15% at a reduced potency and hit rate. their animation shows them [[SpinAttack spinning with their axes]]. |
| 120 | ** ''Wide Breaker'' deals damage to a row of enemies and decreases the enemy's defense by 30%. In addition, [[InjuredVulnerability it gains +50 potency against debuffed enemies]]. |
| 121 | * HornyVikings: The class is themed around viking culture, with housecarls being servants and bodyguards in Northern Europe. Heck, their promoted class is called ''Viking'', complete with [[PeltsOfTheBarbarian furred leather]] and [[HornsOfBarbarism horned helmet]]. Ironically, rather than [[GrimUpNorth Bastorias]], the Housecarl and Viking classes are more closely associated with [[DesertBandits Drakenhold]]. |
| 122 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Upon promoting to Viking, they can carry shields to serve as a frontline tank, something that they couldn't do as a Housecarl. Bonus point to their shield being depicted as round, wooden shields famously carried by vikings. |

| 128 | -->'''Class Type''': Sword, Infantry, Shield (as Landsknecht)\ |
| 129 | '''Gender''': Unisex\ |
| 130 | '''Promotion''': Landsknecht\ |
| 131 | '''Active Skills''': Heavy Slash, Killing Chain (Level 10), Bastard's Cross (Level 20 Landsknecht)\ |
| 132 | '''Passive Skills''': Following Slash, Vengeful Guard (Level 25 Landsknecht), Bull Force (Level 30 Landsknecht)\ |
| 133 | '''Leader Effect''': Greater Garrison\ |
| 134 | '''Valor Skill''': Summon Wariors / Summon Archers |
| 135 | |
| 136 | Mercenaries that wield heavy two-handed swords. They specializes in dealing counterattacks. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They're the equivalent of the "Mercenary[=/=]Hero" class in ''Franchise/FireEmblem''. |
| 139 | * {{BFS}}: |
| 140 | ** Male Sellswords and Landsknechts wield longswords as their weapon of choice. |
| 141 | ** Female Sellswords wield greatswords as their weapon of choice, with the female Landsknecht's blade resembling a flamberge. |
| 142 | * ChainLethalityEnabler: ''Killing Chain'' restores 1 AP if it kills a target. |
| 143 | * CounterAttack: Their basic passive skill ''Following Slash'' allows them to counterattack when an ally is attacked. In addition, the passive skill also replenishes a passive point when their counterattack is successful. |
| 144 | * DefendCommand: Landsknecht can learn ''Vengeful Guard'', which guards against an enemy attack and grants them an attack buff. |
| 145 | * DifficultButAwesome: Sellswords do not have traditional Infantry strengths (they can't tank well, they can't dodge reliably, they don't have attack bonuses against particular enemy types, and they can't debuff by default) while having all the typical weaknesses. Properly equipped and programmed, they can spend an entire fight passively attacking whenever an ally does or whenever they're being assaulted, refunding the points they use for both on top of their primary attacks. |
| 146 | * {{Expy}}: The male Sellsword is the spitting image of [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]], with their upgrade the Landsknecht wearing a slightly modified version of the armor and helmet he wore during the Golden Age arc. |
| 147 | * FullHealthBonus: Inverted. ''Bastard's Cross'' gain additional potency based on the enemy's HP. |
| 148 | * LegFocus: Female Sellswords wear the traditional large and puffed up shirt of a ''Landsknecht'', complete with the heavy sword and the armored crotch. Her muscular legs are left bare to the elements though. |
| 149 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Sellswords get access to shields upon promoting to Landsknecht, boosting their defensive properties and guarding ability. |
| 150 | * MookMaker: The Sellsword's valor skill ''Summon Warriors'' summons an unit of mercenaries into battle, while the Landsknecht's valor skill Summon Archer summons an unit of archers into battle. |
| 151 | * NonindicativeName: The female Landsknecht [[ShownTheirWork actually dress the part and strongly resemble the mercenaries who fought for the Holy Roman Empire]]. The males on the other hand, are mostly just Guts-inspired generic warriors. |
| 152 | * SleevesAreForWimps: As opposed to the poofy sleeves of the leg-baring females, male Sellswords have no sleeves and put their ''very'' muscular arms on full display. |

| 163 | '''Leader Effect''': Quick Rest\ |
| 164 | '''Valor Skill''': Life Aid (II) |
| 165 | |
| 166 | Spear-fighting soldiers that can pierce through enemy column and support their allies. |
| 167 | ---- |
| 168 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They're the equivalent of the "Soldier[=/=]Halberdier" class in ''Franchise/FireEmblem''. |
| 169 | * AntiCavalry: Their basic active skill ''Long Thrust'' gains +50 potency against cavalry units, while their Level 20 active skill ''Honed Spear'' ignores blocking from cavalry. |
| 170 | * CombatMedic: They can use the ''First Aid'' skill to provide a small amount of healing to someone in the formation they are in. |
| 171 | * JackOfAllTrades: They are designed to do a bit of everything, from type-effective offence to buffing and healing allies. |
| 172 | * JavelinThrower: Their active skill, ''Javelin'', allows them to throw their polearms like a javelin, allowing them to target the back row. It also deals +50 potency against [[AntiAir flying units]]. One of their exclusive weapons, Flame Javelin, grants them burn immunity and the active ability ''Flame Javelin''. It is similar to their Javelin ability, which may explain why it's exclusive to the class, but it has more potency, inflict Burn, and costs 2 active points instead of 1. |
| 173 | * MutualDisadvantage: Besides Warriors, they're the only Infantry units who have strong Anti-Cavalry skills, but like Warriors, they're still very vulnerable to Cavalry attacks. |
| 174 | * ProperTightsWithASkirt: While male soldiers are visibly wearing pants, female soldiers give off an illusion of wearing tights, due to their bottom lacking any bagginess and wrinkles, and their shirt makes the chainmail they wear underneath resemble a skirt. |
| 175 | * SupportPartyMember: Their passive skills revolve around supplementing their allies. ''First Aid'' heals an ally by 25% at the end of battle, ''Keen Call'' allows any attack to deal a critical hit, and ''Active Gift'' grants an ally a single active point. |

| 186 | '''Leader Effect''': Greater Garrison\ |
| 187 | '''Valor Skill''': Quick Impetus (II) |
| 188 | |
| 189 | Nimble swordfighters who weave parries and killing blows into chains of attacks. |
| 190 | ---- |
| 191 | * AchillesHeel: Ranged attacks. Since their ''Parry'' ability doesn't block ranged attacks, ranged attacks from Hunters can bypass their counter skill and hit them, especially since their ''Eagle Eye'' ability negates the Swordfighter's high evasion. It is also worth mentioning that flying units' attacks are considered "ranged attacks," so they can also bypass their ''Parry'' ability. |
| 192 | * ActionInitiative: Usually, the fastest unit goes first. However, ''Hastened Strike'' allows the swordfighter to deal one strong physickal attack at the start of the battle. It also has truestrike, so it can be used as a sucker punch against thieves and flying units. |
| 193 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They're the equivalent of the "Myrmidon[=/=]Swordmaster" class in ''Franchise/FireEmblem'', though themed around ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'', instead of {{Samurai}}. They are sword fighters that use [[FragileSpeedster speed]] and [[CriticalHitClass critical hits]] to deliver the killing blow. They also have a multi-hit attack, similar to the ''Astra'' skill that is associated with Swordmasters in ''Fire Emblem''. |
| 194 | * AlwaysAccurateAttack: Their basic active skill ''Keen Edge'' and passive skill ''Hastened Strike'' has truestrike and cannot be dodged. |
| 195 | * ChainLethalityEnabler: Via a combo of ''Parry'' and ''Impale'' explained under CounterAttack. |
| 196 | * ChestInsignia: Their personal heraldry will be presented on their chest, though only the shield and coat of arms will be represented as to not make it too busy. |
| 197 | * CounterAttack: A strange take on the concept. Rather than having a counter move the way other classes do, the Swordfighter has "Parry", a move that negates one melee attack damage, and restores an AP when triggered. This lets them attack again. In turn, ''Impale'' gives them 1 PP if they successfully kill a unit. This allows them to ''Parry'' once more, allowing the cycle to keep going. |
| 198 | * CriticalHitClass: They have very high crit chances and mechanics to give themselves extra attacks, and attacks with multiple hits (like ''Meteor Slash'') allow them to efficiently fish for crits. ''Charged Impetus'' also increases their critical damage, so they will do a lot more damage if they deal a critical hit. |
| 199 | * DeathOfAThousandCuts: ''Meteor Slash'' has the hit count of 9, but it also has the physickal potency of 20. However, it also grants +30 critical rate, so the critical damage may make up for the deficiency. |
| 200 | * DefendCommand: ''Parry'' negates any melee physickal damage received and grants them an extra active point. |
| 201 | * DualWielding: Swordmasters gain the ability to equip a second sword. They will use the highest attack value between both their swords but will benefit from the passive stat bonuses and skills of both weapons, and (after a patch) add half of the attack value of the weaker weapon. |
| 202 | * FragileSpeedster: They have exceptionally high evasion and initiative, but their physickal defense and guard rates are terrible. It's only slightly downplayed due to their ''Parry'' passive skill, allowing them to block melee attacks so long as they have PP. |
| 203 | * MutualDisadvantage: Against flying classes, like Gryphon Knights and Wyvern Knights. On one hand, flying classes bypass their Parry and hit them for damage. On the other hand, Swordfighters have skills that ignores their high evasion against grounded units. |

| 216 | |
| 217 | Sly fighters that use their speed to steal the enemy's passive points and avoid any attacks. |
| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * AchillesHeel: Any units with [[AlwaysAccurateAttack truestrike attacks]]. Since truestrike attacks will always hit the target, the thief's ''Evade'' skill becomes useless against them and he will likely receive a mortal blow. Gets flipped on its head when they promote into Rogues and learn ''Shadowbite'', which inflicts blindness on an entire row of enemies. Blind enemies will ''always'' miss their next attack, even with truestrike attacks, making Rogues a solid means of protecting your team's fliers and fragile speedsters from enemy Fencers and Hunters. |
| 220 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: They're the equivalent of the, [[ShapedLikeItself well]], "Thief[=/=]Rogue[=/=]Assassin" class in ''Franchise/FireEmblem''. |
| 221 | * {{Backstab}}: ''Sneaking Edge'' has the Rogue blend into the shadows, sneak their target from behind, and deliver a quick stab in the back. It also inflicts Guard Seal and Passive Seal. |
| 222 | * DeviousDaggers: Although their weapon type are swords, they wield two knives, representing their cunning and thievery. |
| 223 | * FragileSpeedster: They have exceptionally high evasion and initiative, along with the ''Evade'' skill to dodge the few hits that would have connected. However, they also have the lowest HP and P.Def stats out of any class in the game. The second they DO get hit by a physical attack, they are going down. |
| 224 | * PoisonedWeapon: ''Toxic Throw'' has them throwing their daggers filled with deadly toxins at the target, dealing ranged damage and inflicting Poison. |
| 225 | * VideoGameStealing: Their basic active skill ''Passive Steal'' allows them to steal all of the enemy's passive points, which increases their ability to dodge incoming attacks with their passive ability ''Evade''. They later gain ''Active Steal'', allowing them to do the same to the enemy's active points. Thieves' valor skill, ''Plunder'', allows them to steal gold from an enemy unit. Rogues can do this to all enemies in an area. |

| 238 | |
| 239 | Hammer-wielding soldiers that can penetrate through heavy armor. |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * AntiArmor: Their primary specialty. Their basic active skill ''Heavy Smash'' completely ignores the defense of armored units, like Fighters and Hoplites. |
| 242 | * AntiStructure: Their valor skill ''Heavy Swing'' deals a rather weak physickal attack but it [[BlownAcrossTheRoom knocks enemies back]] and instantly destroys barricades. Their leader effect "Barrier Breaker" also 'very' heavily enhances their unit's damage to barricades and gates. |
| 243 | * BoringButPractical: Unlike other front-line fighters that rely on blocking, dodging, or PP-consuming gimmicks to stay alive and use fancy attacks that specialize in countering a specific unit type, Warriors are a simple MightyGlacier class with good HP, P.Def, and M.Def across the board, and their S-rank growth in Physickal Attack means they can deal devastating damage to more than just armored foes. |
| 244 | * ChainLethalityEnabler: Their unlockable active skill at Level 10, ''Assaulting Blow'', grants them an extra active point for each target defeated, allowing them to sweep the enemy until they miss, fail to finish off the enemy, or until no enemies remain. |
| 245 | * CriticalStatusBuff: Their ''Enrage'' ability plays with this. Whenever an ally is attacked, the Breaker gains a bonus to their Physickal Attack and Accuracy as long as they have PP available. |
| 246 | * GlacierWaif: Female warriors are petite youngsters who can swing heavy hammers just as efficient as male warriors. |
| 247 | * HumongousHeadedHammer: Though classified as an axefighter, warriors wield heavy hammers to crackdown on any fortification. There are several axes that are exclusive to Warriors, due to being warhammers. In fact, you can say that the Warriors are using marble bricks as the hammerhead, with the Breaker's hammers looking more like oversized meat tenderizers than actual warhammers. |
| 248 | * MutualDisadvantage: With FragileSpeedster infantry classes like Thieves, Werefoxes, and Fencers. Warriors lack any innate attacks that deal multiple hits and/or have the [[AlwaysAccurateAttack Truestrike]] property, meaning those classes will always be able to ''Evade'' or ''Parry'' their hammer strikes as long as they have PP left. From the opposite end, said classes don't pose any real threat to the Warriors either, thanks to their high raw defensive stats and lack of reliance on passive skills to deal and tank damage. |
| 249 | * ShieldsAreUseless: Against them. Every single one of their innate attacks comes with the "Unguardable" trait, making them downright impossible to block with shields. On top of that, their passive skill ''Binding Guard'' allows their attack to inflict Guard Seal, preventing enemies from guarding against ''any'' form of attack. |
| 250 | * StoutStrength: Male warriors have a prominent paunch but are strong fighters that wield hammers (mostly axes in gameplay). |
| 251 | * StrongFleshWeakSteel: They can reliably one-shot armored classes thanks to their AntiArmor abilities, but struggle against unarmored hulks like the Gladiator that tank damage through sheer HP (although once they unlock ''Enrage'', they can often fell even such foes with a single critical hit). |

| 265 | |
| 266 | Crossbowwomen who trade the Hunter's AlwaysAccurateAttack for extra durability, damage, and group healing. |
| 267 | ---- |
| 268 | * BowsVersusCrossbows: Compared to Hunters, Arbalists hit harder and are capable of tanking once they promote into Shieldshooters. However, Arbalists lack ''Eagle Eye'', so they will not be able to hit through enemies with evasion skills, like Thieves and Elven Fencers. In addition, Snipers are capable of hitting multiple targets, while Shieldshooters can only hit a single target. |
| 269 | * CombatMedic: [[NinjaPirateRobotZombie Combat Medic ''Tank'', more like]]. As Arbalists they're backliners who can heal their allies after a battle, but once they promote, they can become frontliners who not only deal reasonably respectable damage, but can tank, guard their allies, and actively heal them while doing it. |
| 270 | * JackOfAllTrades: Once promoted to Shieldshooters, they can fill literally any role aside from applying buffs and cleansing debuffs. A unit consisting of four Shieldshooters and a single dedicated SupportPartyMember like a Witch, Shaman, or Cleric is a perfectly viable unit. |
| 271 | * TakingTheBullet: Shieldshooter's passive skill Aid Cover allows her to cover for an ally. It also heals the targeted ally by 25% of their HP. |
| 272 | * TrickArrow: |
| 273 | ** ''Toxic Bolt'' has the Arbalist shoot her target with a poisonous bolt, dealing damage and inflicting Poison. |
| 274 | ** Their valor skill ''Smoke Bolt'' shoots a bolt that emits a smokescreen that prevents a unit from using assist or detect units, making them effective at nullifying hunters and witches. |
| 275 | * ViolationOfCommonSense: One wouldn't imagine putting a ranged unit in the frontline, but Shieldshooters are decent tanks when properly set up. They gain access to greatshields, the active skill ''Heavy Bolt'' that grants them +100 potency if they're fighting in the front row, and the passive skill ''Aid Cover'' that allows them to cover an ally with a medium guard and restore 25% HP to that ally. |

| 295 | * DoubleTap: At level 15, Hunters get the ''Pursuit'' skill, firing off a quick shot at an enemy who survives an ally's attack. |
| 296 | * RainOfArrows: As an archer unit, Hunters have the leader effect Ranged Assist, which allows them to aid allies by shooting a volley of arrows to damage the enemy unit at the start of battle. In addition, their valor skill ''Arrow Rain'' is an area-of-effect damaging skill that hurts everything that is under its radius. It deals 1.5x damage against flying units. |

| 318 | ** The Doom Knights passive skill ''Demonic Pact'' grants them an extra active point at a cost of 25% of his HP. |
| 319 | ** ''Dark Flame'' requires 30% of Doom Knight's HP to use the active skill. |
| 320 | * CriticalStatusBuff: Their main specialty is that they grow stronger as they receive damage. Their basic passive skill ''Vengeance'' grants them an attack and defense (and a passive point if their health reaches below 50%) when receiving damage, and their basic active skill ''Vengeful Axe'' deals additional potency for every missing HP. |
| 321 | * {{Hellfire}}: ''Dark Flame'' has the Doom Knight cast an infernal spell that deals both physickal and magickal damage and inflicts Burn to a row of enemies at a cost of 30% of their HP. It also gains +50 potency when used against [[InjuredVulnerability a debuffed enemy]]. |
| 322 | * LifeDrain: ''Sanguine Arts'' recover their HP based on 50% of the damage they dealt. |
| 323 | * MagikarpPower: Dark Knights are often considered a terrible class. Poor tactics and equipment loadouts can even have them attacking ''before'' they take damage, making their usual buff useless after they themselves are hit. Doom Knights on the other hand are terrifying once they hit level 20. They are the centerpiece to a scary team comp involving a shaman and a witch which guarantees ''Dark Flame'' will one shot an entire row. |

| 362 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Being only held by an old man who joins early on automatically promoted, they're clearly this for the Jagen archetype in ''Franchise/FireEmblem''. |
| 363 | * AntiDebuff: Their passive skill ''Holy Barrier'' casts a barrier on the target that halves damage received and prevents them from being afflicted. In addition, their ''Holy Guard'' skill allows them to guard attacks without receiving any debuffs. |
| 364 | * BoringButPractical: Although the paladin has no particular specialization in any one field, and their base skills aren’t extraordinary, their versatility and solid stats make them valuable for most unit compositions. Additionally, their growths become far better in the late game, so they can pull their weight with greater efficacy. |
| 365 | * BraggingRightsReward: The generic Paladin can only be recruited at Gran Corrine, meaning they’re only available when you’ve cleared the main mission of the game. Downplayed in that it’s not essential to have liberated ''all'' other countries, so you can still use them in more missions than merely the postgame. |
| 366 | * DefendCommand: ''Holy Guard'' allows them to automatically guard against physickal attacks and prevents him from receiving debuffs. |
| 367 | * HealingHands: They have ''Heal'' as both an active and valor skill. |
| 368 | * LightningBruiser: Statistically the Paladin has no major downside besides being somewhat vulnerable to magick; their stats are largely balanced, they can hit hard with both physickal and (set properly) magickal attacks, and they can rest their stamina faster than most as unit leader. |
| 369 | * SpearCounterpart: This class is essentially the male version of the Radiant/Sainted Knight class line.

| 370 | * SupportPartyMember: Half of the paladin’s kit is built around aiding their unit and other allies: they can ''Heal'' in battle for active point, and an in-range unit on the field for one valor point; ''Resist Magick Attack'' as a leader effect makes their unit safer in range of mage-led enemy units; and the combination of ''Holy Barrier'' and ''Holy Guard'' for in-battle defenses for both themselves and their teammates’ survivability. |

| 443 | * DevilsPitchfork: The fearsome and less elegant wyvern knights' choice of lances are tridents. |
| 444 | * DefendCommand: ''Deflect'' negates melee physickal attacks received and grants herself an evasion buff. |
| 445 | * DragonRider: Airbornes knight who rides on wyverns. These warriors are also prominently found in Drakenhold. |
| 446 | * RoarBeforeBeating: Wyvern Masters activate ''Dragon's Roar'' at the start of battle, decreasing the enemies' initiative. |
| 447 | * WeakToMagic: Contrasting with their gryphon riding counterparts, Wyvern Knights are more vulnerable to magic. |

| 465 | * AntiDebuff: ''Refresh'' and ''Sacred Heal'' remove debuffs that are inflicted on a row of units. |

| 469 | * ModestyShorts: Clerics are wearing bloomers underneath their skirts. This is noticeable in their "taking damage" and "incapacitated" animation. |

| 489 | * AntiCavalry: Their Level 25 passive skill as a Druid, ''Cursed Swamp'', removes a passive point on cavalry units. |
| 490 | * {{Curse}}: Their active skills involve casting curses to inflict debuffs to a row of enemies. Shaman's basic active skill, ''Passive Curse'', removes a passive point and inflict an initiative debuff, while their unlockable active skill at Level 10, ''Offensive Curse'', inflict both physickal and magickal attack debuff. Their passive skill ''Quick Curse'' inflicts an attack debuff and prevents them from dealing a critical hit. |
| 491 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: ''Defensive Curse'' inflicts a defense debuff and Guard Seal, which not only makes the enemies easier to kill, but also they cannot guard themselves from attacks. |
| 492 | * DefogOfWar: Her valor skill allows you to see obscured foes within the area-of-effect, like those hiding in the forest. It also provide vision in fog-of-war, which is useful in the some quests, like "Beyond the Swirling Sands" and "Legacy of the Lion Kings", as the battlefield is completely obscured by sandstorms and blizzards, respectively. |
| 493 | * KickChick: The Shaman's Bonestaff is a staff exclusive to the Shaman. It increases the Shaman's physickal attack and grants her the ''Cursed Strike'' active skill, which allows her to physickally attack a single target. It [[ArmorPiercingAttack ignores half of the enemy's defense]] and deal extra potency if [[InjuredVulnerability the enemy is inflicted with debuffs]]. The active skill is represented by an animation showing the Shaman kicking the target. |
| 494 | * MarkOfTheSupernatural: Druids obtain tattoos that cover her entire body, from her arms to [[IntimateMarks her midriff and legs]]. Whether those tattoos are mere BodyPaint or actual PowerTattoos, her markings exemplify her mastery in curses. |
| 495 | * MsFanservice: Though downplayed compared to some of the other classes, the Shaman are still well-endowed, wear revealing crop tops, and leave their legs fully on display. |
| 496 | * PlayingWithFire: The weapon skill ''Fire Curse'' allows a Shaman to set entire rows of enemies on fire at once. |
| 497 | * SituationalSword: ''Clairvoyance'' is mostly useful for improving ally accuracy in its area of effect, and its primary function for improving visibility is rendered moot in areas without environmental obstructions (weather, cover, etc.). |
| 498 | * SupportPartyMember: Shamans are pure support, as they lack any innate offensive skills. However, their curses provide numerous invaluable debuffs, with ''Passive Curse'' hampering the foes' ability to resist or counter attacks and ''Offensive Curse'' cutting entire rows of enemies' offensive output in half. Clairvoyance, in addition to revealing any units within the area-of-effect, including concealed units, also grants an accuracy boost to your allies, allowing them to effectively hit some very evasive classes, like thieves and swordfighters. |

| 511 | |
| 512 | Mystical ladies of magickal prowess. They can cast ice magic to freeze their foes and empower their allies' weapons with magick. |
| 513 | ---- |
| 514 | * AchillesHeel: Angel units. ''Quick Cast'' + ''Ice Coffin'' is normally one of the most devistating combinations a single unit can pull off in a single move, damaging and completely locking down an entire row before the enemy even has a chance to act - however angels will ''actively punish'' you for trying this. For specifics: |
| 515 | ** Aside from the Featherbow's knack for picking off spellcasters with her bow, her ''Blinding Light'' passive skill inflicts Blindness on an entire row before an enemy team's first attack, guaranteeing that not only the witch's ''Ice Coffin'', but also her allies' attacks will miss their targets. |
| 516 | ** The Feathershield can straight up [[AttackReflector reflect]] the spell back at the Witch's team with their ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Reflect Magick]]'' passive skill, resulting in your own row taking damage and being frozen instead. |
| 517 | ** The Featherstaff's ''Holy Breath'' ability heals friendly units and removes their afflictions at no cost if said ally is afflicted, effectively rendering the Witch's ice spells moot. |
| 518 | * ActionInitiative: ''Quick Cast'' has the Sorceress buff herself at the start of the battle, maxing out her initiative for her next action and allowing her to attack first, but at the cost of -50% critical hit chance. Since her base critical hit rate is usually in the single-digits to begin with, this really doesn't her her much. |
| 519 | * AlwaysAccurateAttack: Not the Witches themselves, but they can grant this to their allies with their ''Focus Sight'' buff, thus mitigating the need for Hunters or Fencers to deal with enemy fliers and scouts. |
| 520 | * AnIcePerson: ''Icebolt'' and ''Ice Coffin'' both have a secondary effect that freezes any enemy hit by the spell. |
| 521 | * GravityMaster: Their first valor skill, ''Gravity'', slows all enemy units in a large area to an absolute ''crawl,'' making them easy targets for seige weapons like catapults. |
| 522 | * HarmlessFreezing: Normally played completely straight... untill you get to Bastorias and start finding weapons that deal [[InjuredVulnerability double damage]] to frozen enemies. |
| 523 | * HotWitch: Witches wear nothing but a bra and a miniskirt and sway their hips around to [[{{Gainaxing}} accentuate their breasts]]. Sorceress wears much more than the witches, but they instead wear a SexySlitDress that shows off their cleavage and navel. |
| 524 | * RobeAndWizardHat: Witches and sorceresses wears pointed black hats with horns attached to it. |
| 525 | * SquishyWizard: They are strong magickal damage dealers, but squishy and vulnerable to physical damage if not protected properly. |
| 526 | * SupportPartyMember: Their passives allow them to assist allies into dishing out magic boosted attacks (''Magick Conferral'') and more consistent attacks (''Focus Sight''), and the Freeze effect may help improve their allies' survivability. They're also one of the only generic classes to have TWO valor skills in stead of just one. |
| 527 | * {{Teleportation}}: Their second valor skill ''[[{{ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin}} Teleport]]'' allows them to teleport their unit to any other friendly unit or command post on the map - excellent for instantly reinforcing units that have over-extended themselves or needing to protect any conquered area from being overrun by enemy reinforcements. |

| 545 | * AttackAttackAttack: Five out of six of their abilities are attack spells centered purely on dealing damage to the enemy team, and the one that isn't, ''Concentrate'', exchanges their PP for AP while buffing their accuracy so they can launch ''more'' attacks! |
| 546 | * CounterAttack: Their basic passive skill ''Magick Counter'' allows them to counter any foes' magick attack with their own. Note that ''Magick Counter'' will also trigger off of physickal attacks as well, provided the [[SquishyWizard Wizard]] actually [[AwesomeButImpractical survives the hit]]. |
| 547 | * KungFuWizard: The Sorcerer's Gauntlets is an accessory that is exclusive to the Wizards. It grants them the ''Sorcerous Blow'', which deals both physickal and magickal damage and inflict Stun to a single target. It uses the seldom-seen animation of the Wizard delivering a punch to the foe. |
| 548 | * PlayingWithFire: Their basic active skill ''Fireball'' casts a fireball that harms the foe 3 times and inflicts Burn. As Warlocks, they learn ''Volcano'' at level 30, which hits an entire column and inflicts Burn. |
| 549 | * ShockAndAwe: ''Thunderous Strike'' summons lightning to strike the foes, dealing damage and inflicting stun to a row of targets. |

| 571 | ---- |
| 572 | * BattleBallgown: Females wear elaborate dresses more akin to what you'd expect at a ball. |
| 573 | * HealingHands: They're unusual healers in that they need to have someone else to heal them to trigger their healing effect on the rest of the party, making them a poor choice for a squad's sole source of healing. However, said healing effect is the ''strongest in the game,'' healing the ''entire party'' and being able to combo into itself if you have multiple Elven Archers in the same unit. |
| 574 | * LegFocus: Both genders wear thigh high boots that emphasize their legs. |
| 575 | * MageMarksman: They mix spellcasting and support spells with their archery, debilitating foes' stats and maintaining their party. |
| 576 | * MasterOfAll: In terms of backline support. They're a Cleric, Witch, and Hunter all rolled into a single class, and beat them all when it comes to healing output, single-target damage, initiative, and survivability. At higher levels they even match the Cleric and Witch in terms of debuff protection and crowd control, being able to grant one-time debuff immunity to the entire party at the start of battle with ''Pure Field'', and freeze any two targets at once with ''Icicle Arrow''. |
| 577 | * SquishyWizard: They pay for their incredible versatility in durability. Their evasion isn't up to par compared to most other classes in their niche, and while they can handle debuffs well the same can't be said for straight-up damage. |

| 596 | * MrFanservice: Not to be outdone by their female counterparts, the lithe males wear skintight spandex (tight enough that their defined abs are visible), belts that emphasize their butts, and are posed in such a way that missing it borders on impossible. |
| 597 | * MsFanservice: The female Elven Fencers are very well-endowed with plenty of [[{{Gainaxing}} breast jiggle]], and their LeotardOfPower is incredibly revealing, having an ImpossiblyLowNeckline, a NavelWindow, and [[LegFocus exposed upper legs]]. |
| 598 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Female Elven Fencers wear basically a leotard made of black straps that hides very little, combining LegFocus, ImpossiblyLowNeckline and a NavelWindow. |

| 608 | * {{Lunacy}}: They become more powerful at night, gaining huge stats boosts and speed boosts on the overworld map. Every single Bestral unit has at least one ability that is enhanced at night, as well. |

| 623 | ---- |
| 624 | * DefendCommand: Werebears have the passive skill ''Heavy Guard'', which allows them to automatically guards against attacks. |
| 625 | * FixedDamageAttack: ''Life Blow'' allows the Werebear to deal damage based on 80% of their current HP to the target at the end of battle. |
| 626 | * FullHealthBonus: ''Round Swing'' gains more potency when the unit has a lot of HP. |
| 627 | * GroundPound: ''Earthshaker'' has the Werebear jump up and down to cause an earthquake that harms all grounded enemies. [[DesperationAttack It deals more damage when the Werebear's HP is very low]], so expect a lot of hurt if the Werebear is down to their last digit. |
| 628 | * HealingFactor: ''Nocturnal Rest'' heals the Werebear by 30% of their HP after attacking, which doubles to 60% when it is nighttime. |
| 629 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: They can equip greatshields, but don't have any abilities to cover an ally, forcing them to rely on equipment if that's a role a player would like them to serve. |
| 630 | * MightyGlacier: Their kit revolves around their current Hit Points, with some attacks hitting harder when they're healthier, and others when they're near death, and so they've plenty to spare and a reliable way to recover it, but are slow as molasses. Bonus points for living in the frozen nation of Bastorias, too. |
| 631 | * ShockwaveStomp: The titular ''Earthshaker'' move does this. |
| 632 | * UnskilledButStrong: Werebears are so poorly balanced, they fumble their hammers and nearly topple over whenever they're hit by an attack they don't guard. Their standard attacks also have excessively long wind ups in which they have to take several uncoordinated hops forward towards their foe. But none of that matters considering what they strive to do: hit ''hard'', take hits, heal damage (or not, if they plan on implementing ''Earthshaker''), and hit back '''harder'''. |

| 646 | ---- |
| 647 | * AchillesHeel: Like thieves, they are vulnerable to classes with [[AlwaysAccurateAttack truestrike skills]], as it makes their high evasion and ''Nocturnal Evade'' useless. Downplayed somewhat in that they actually have better HP and P.Def than thieves, meaning they can typically tough out a single hit from a Swordfighter or Hunter... provided said hit isn't a [[CriticalHitClass critical hit.]] |
| 648 | * FoxyVixen: The werefoxes are beautiful vixen who fight in an [[ChainmailBikini armored bikini and little other protection]]. |
| 649 | * FragileSpeedster: They boast some of the highest initiative in the game, especially at night. They also have very high evasion. But will go down if someone gets a lucky hit, or targets them with an AlwaysAccurateAttack. |
| 650 | * {{Gainaxing}}: They are extremely lithe and slender but very busty with a noticeable jiggle. |
| 651 | * InASingleBound: Their ''Jump'' valor skill lets them jump towards an ally or an enemy squad, avoiding any obstacle in-between. |
| 652 | * InjuredVulnerability: Werefoxes excel at finishing off debuffed prey. ''Weakness Hunter'' allows werefoxes to deal an UnblockableAttack that [[ArmorPiercingAttack ignores half of their defense]] against a debuffed enemy, and ''Venom Thrust'' deals extra potency against already-poisoned enemies. |
| 653 | * PoisonedWeapon: ''Venom Thrust'' deals a piercing attack that both poisons enemies and [[AntiRegeneration inflict a debuff that lowers their HP recovery]]. It also [[InjuredVulnerability increases potency against poisoned enemies]]. |
| 654 | * StatusInflictionAttack: Specializes in these, with all but one of her attacks inflicting some sort of [[StatusEffects Affliction]]. Apart from her PoisonedWeapon above, she can also inflict [[ShieldsAreUseless Guard Seal]] with ''Piercing Thrust'' and Blind enemies with ''Shadow Pursuit''. Perhaps the most dangerous is ''Passive Hold'', which inflicts Passive Seal on enemies, preventing them from using any skills that require PP, many of which are defensive. |

| 686 | ---- |
| 687 | * CoupDeGrace: Their kit is based around doing more damage to wounded enemies, and doing a lot of follow-up attacks when an ally wounds a target. |
| 688 | * DarkIsNotEvil: The red eyes, coarse fur, and long tongue aren't the result of Zenoiran sorcery. Werewolf soldiers just tend to look like that when they're on the job. |
| 689 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: As noted in their MasterOfNone entry below, Werewolves are rather unimpressive in an actual fight... however their unique valor skill ''Hide'' allows them to render a friendly unit completely undetectable for 20 whole seconds for only a ''single'' valor point, allowing you to cheese most maps with ease by simply walking (or flying) up to the enemy command post entirely unimpeded. |
| 690 | * MasterOfNone: Werewolves are noticeably squishier and have lower physical attack than other front-line fighters while also having considerably worse evasion than the other FragileSpeedster classes, and while they have an exceptionally high accuracy stat, they lack any innate Truestrike attacks, making them largely ineffective against enemy scouts with ''Evade''. On top of all that, none of their attacks have extra effectiveness against any particular unit type and don't inflict any debuffs, and their one support ability, ''Bestral Howl'' is one of the weakest buffs in the game, only buffing their row's physickal attack by 15% and is incapable of stacking with itself. However, it should be noted that their unique valor skill [[StealthExpert Hide]] gives them a niche that no other class has. |
| 691 | * RoarBeforeBeating: The howling variety, naturally. They can use ''Bestral Howl'' to enhance their row's physical damage. |
| 692 | * RunningOnAllFours: They adopt a four legged stance when running in the overworld, though given they still are holding a sword in one hand it is more like they are running on ''three'' limbs. |
| 693 | * SavageWolf: They are wolf warriors who looks untamed and dangerous to anyone that crosses them. Alain and Lex's first encounter with a bestral upon entering Bastorias is a werewolf that attacks them without warning, forcing Lex to kill him in self-defense. Another werewolf seen in the cutscene after completing "Tempest of White" is tied up and when Alain attempts to use the Ring of the Unicorn to remove the magick of control on him, he remains berserk due to the werewolf being affected by something else. |
| 694 | * StealthExpert: They can hide their unit from sight to ambush foes or sneak around to key points on the map unhindered by enemies. They also can use it on friendly units, making them capable of invoking this for units they aren't able to, such as lighting-fast-moving ''[[OnrushingArmy all-cavalry units]]''. |
| 695 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: They wear kilts and greaves, but no shirts. |

| 698 | !!Angel Classes |
| 699 | |
| 700 | [[folder:Angel Classes In General]] |
| 701 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Their stat boosts from fighting in daytime call to mind the similar bonus Lawful units receive in daylight in the ''VideoGame/OgreBattle'' franchise, where angel units both exist and are near-exclusively Lawful. |
| 702 | * CoolMask: Generic angel units, except for Feathershields, wear wing-like masks. |
| 703 | * ThePowerOfTheSun: Less prominent in comparison to Bestral's {{Lunacy}} boost, but each Angel class has a skill that gains additional effects during the day. |
| 704 | * WingedHumanoid: The wings aren't just for show - all Angel classes are capable of flight, which means units led by them will by able to soar over any obstacles during battles. |

| 718 | * BlindedByTheLight: Their passive skill, ''Shining Light'', will inflict Blindness on an entire row of enemies before an enemy attacks. |

| 729 | |
| 730 | Flying shieldbarers who can protect allies from magickal attacks. |
| 731 | ---- |
| 732 | * AntiMagic: Their niche is shutting down magic users and magic damage. They have a passable C in physical defense and modest HP, so they're not exactly squishy on the physical side by any stretch, but arrows and sufficiently accurate physical attacks will wear them down faster than any other tank. |
| 733 | * AttackReflector: ''Reflect Magick'' allows them to turn enemy attack spells against the enemy squad. ''Mirror Weakness'' is a unique variant that instead reflects status ailments they suffer back onto the one that inflicted them while cleansing themselves of the effect, magical or otherwise. |
| 734 | * GoThroughMe: Their ''Sacrifice'' passive has them leap out to take a direct hit ''without'' guarding first, despite the shield they all carry, as a PlayerNudge to assign them to only tank the magic spells they're built to endure, which can't be guarded against anyway. In exchange, they get a hefty 2 PP to spend on their many useful passives. |
| 735 | * TopHeavyGuy: They have huge, muscular torsos and relatively small legs, making them the slowest flying unit in the game. |

| 745 | '''Valor Skill''': Distant Heal |
| 746 | |
| 747 | A angelic healer that has the power to ensure that their allies will never fall in battle. |
| 748 | ---- |
| 749 | * AntiDebuff: ''Holy Breath'' removes affliction if they are afflicted, and are rewarded 1 PP upon being cleansed. |
| 750 | * DifficultButAwesome: Featherstaffs can be recruited at an awkward time late game when a player will already have access to powerful healing units they're already used to. But they boast very high Initiative, allowing them to use their active skills at more appropriate junctures, which combo well with their passives, and ultimately make tank units even more robust and ensuring that they survive attacks that would've wiped them out otherwise. They have a particular niche in Online Battles, where having higher HP at the end of a match is more important than wiping out the opposition. |
| 751 | * StatOverflow: ''Overheal'' has a special effect where excess healing will temporarily increases their maximum HP, up to 150%. |
| 752 | * LastChanceHitPoint: ''Holy Cradle'' grants a row of allies a buff that allows them to survive a fatal blow. |

| 764 | |
| 765 | Angelic warriors who fight with swords and shields. They prefer fighting in day time. |
| 766 | ---- |
| 767 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Their two starting actions and inability to promote along with, you know, being a literal sword-wielding angel all evoke the Cherubim class from ''VideoGame/OgreBattle''. |
| 768 | * DefendCommand: ''Diurnal Guard'' allows her to automatically guard against attacks. It also grants her an extra passive point during daytime, effectively refunding her a passive point and allowing her to tank during the day if her evasion fails her. |
| 769 | * PaintedOnPants: Their pants are skintight, and they show off their butt in their attacking, running (or flying) and dodging animations. |
| 770 | * ShieldBash: ''Shield Smite'' deals physickal damage to a target and inflicts the enemy with a defense debuff, while granting themselves a defense buff. |
| 771 | * StatusBuff: They use their skills to grant themselves buffs. For example, ''Spiral Sword'' grants them an evasion buff, while inflicting the enemy an evasion debuff. |
| 772 | * StatusBuffDispel: Inverted. Their ''Discharge'' passive skill dispels them of buffs, but they deal extra damage for one attack for each buffs that was dispelled. |
