Black Knight
First Seen Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Promotes From N/A Promotes To N/A Usable Weapon Types Sword, Lance Class Skills Eclipse, Shove

The Black Knight (ダークナイト, Dark Knight in the Japanese version) class is a third tier class exclusive to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Not surprisingly, the only unit in this class is the Black Knight, despite the fact that in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, his class was General. The Black Knight can use swords and lances, but not axes as well like a Marshall. He has an SS and S weapons level in these respectively (although his lance weapons level can be raised to SS in the short time that he is playable). Although his occult/mastery skill was formerly Luna in Path of Radiance and is stated to still be such in an examination of the Black Knight class, this is actually an error (since in the Japanese version Luna and Eclipse shared the same name). His actual occult/mastery skill is Eclipse, a combination of Luna and Astra which neutralizes an enemy's defense and does 5x regular damage -- essentially a one hit KO. This skill will not activate during an indirect attack.

TriviaEdit

• In Radiant Dawn, this class uses the Path of Radiance map sprite. This can be seen by the fact the Black Knight's cape is red on the outside in Path of Radiance, but black on the outside in Radiant Dawn.
• The class description in Radiant Dawn states that the Black Knight wields the skill Luna, which he had in Path of Radiance. This skill is instead replaced by Eclipse in Radiant Dawn, although Eclipse was called Moonlight (Luna's Japanese name) as well in the original Japanese version.
