Warrior (character Class) - Fire Emblem

Fire Emblem

In the Fire Emblem series, Fighters and Warriors both appear as a character class. The Fighter wields only axes, but when it promotes in to warrior, it gains the ability to use bows. Fighters/Warriors in the Fire Emblem series include the characters Bartre, Boyd, Garcia, and more.

Fighters and their promoted form, Warriors, are characterized by high strength and HP with moderate speed, while lacking in skill and usually defense. This makes them an easy target for enemy sword-users who are generally faster and more accurate than Warriors (not to mention that the weapon triangle used in the Fire Emblem series gives sword-users an inherent advantage vs. axe-users) as well as magic-users such as Sages or Bishops who tend to have high evade ratings. However, Warriors are excellent at eliminating enemy lance-users since axe-users have an advantage over lance-users according to the aforementioned weapon triangle and a Warrior's high strength allows their attacks to do significant amounts of damage.
