Not to be confused with the Gaiden class
A Fighter (also called Axe Fighter in the Jugdral Series games) is a robust unit specializing in axes. They tend to have high HP and strength, moderate speed, but with poor defense. They are present in all games in the series.
In the Tellius Series, the Laguz Tigers are, stat wise, the equivalent of a fighter, having the same types of growths.
In the beginning of every game, they can be used to beat enemy Soldiers and Knights more easily.

[edit] Promotion
Fighters can't class change in Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi and Monshō no Nazo. In the later games of the series, however, they usually promote to Warriors, although Thracia 776's Axe Fighter units promote to Mercenary instead. In Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, they are given the option of promoting into either a Warrior or a Hero, gaining the ability to use swords.
[edit] Variations
In Thracia 776, Axe Fighters have higher skill and speed, being essentially Sword Fighters with axes.
Although named Fighter, Alm's class in Fire Emblem Gaiden is very different from this one, actually being a regular, sword-using class, promoting to Hero. It should be noted that no player units in Gaiden can use axes.
[edit] Combat
Fighters are Axe-Wielders and are very good at destroying enemy units. They have the ability to kill enemies in a instant and do massive damage to bosses. Their main weakness is that due to their low Defense, they will get beat up a lot so it's not a good idea to send a Fighter into a swarm of enemies hoping to clear the field because that will just result in your fighter getting killed. The best strategy to use with Fighters is to use them as tanks alongside other characters such as Cavaliers and Knights and have a Curate, Sage, or Bishop, standing by so your Fighters can get healed if they get too beat up. But even with that, using fighters is risky and painful.
