Revision as of 11:18, 1 September 2015
- Not to be confused with the Gaiden class
The Fighter (戦士 Fighter), also called Axe Fighter (斧戦士) in the Jugdral Series games, TearRing Saga as well as in Fire Emblem: Fates, is an axe-wielding and typically male-only class found in every game in the series barring Gaiden. Playable fighters often appear as a duo early on in the games.
History in the series
The Fighter class first appeared in Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi. Though Fighters were described as lacking Defense in the class roll, the three fighter characters, and the fighter Boss all had high defense. They and Pirates were the only Axe using classes. Fighters lacked a promotion like most classes in the game.
Fighter class did show up in Gaiden, but it was so different it might have been a different class altogether. In that game Brigands, known as Thieves, were the only axe using class.
In Mystery of the Emblem, Fighters remained unpromotable and due to pirates being made enemy exclusive were the sole playable Axe using class. Fighter and Pirate were joined by two additional axe classes: almost identical Brigand and more powerful Barbarian, another enemy exclusive classes. The three fighter units were only playable in the first book, meaning no axes could be used by any playable characters in book 2.
In Genealogy of the Holy War a Fighter unit was playable in the second generation of the game. This playable Fighter promoted to the axe, and bow wielding Warrior, finally giving a promotion to the longrunning class.
The Fighter class was revamped in Thracia 776 in which they had similar characteristics to the Myrmidon class. The Fighter promotion in Thracia 776 was the Hero class, while Warrior was the promotion for the Brigand class.
After Thracia the class largely returned to how it was in Genealogy, though the class occasionaly did promote to Hero. In Radiant Dawn Fighters, like most classes, gained a third tier promotion in Reavers.
In Fates, the class became unisex with female axe fighters. Additionally due to the absence of Pirates and related classes such as Brigand and Barbarian, Fighters now promote to Berserker for the first time in the series. The Warrior class is absent entirely in this title. Due to this new association with the criminal Axe classes, Fighter NPCs look and act more thuggish in this installment, including destroying villages.
In Game
Combat
A fighter performing a normal attack in the GBA titles
In terms of stats, fighters are similar to other axe-wielding units such as Pirates and Brigands. They tend to have high HP and strength, moderate speed, and poor defense. Their somewhat low speed often prevents them from being able to double attack, but their high strength offsets this, as they can deal heavy damage in only one blow. In Thracia 776, Axe Fighters have higher skill and speed, essentially being Myrmidons with axes.
Due to their weapon triangle advantage, fighters often work well for killing enemy lance-users such as Soldiers and Knights in the early-game.
Promotion
Fighters cannot class change in Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi and Mystery of the Emblem. In Thracia 776, Axe Fighter units promote to Mercenaries. In all other games, fighters promote to Warriors, gaining in the ability to use bows. In both Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and Fire Emblem: Awakening, they are given the option of promoting into either a Warrior or a Hero, which gives them the ability to use bows or swords respectively. In Fire Emblem: Fates they no longer can promote to Warriors, but can now promote to Berserkers in addition to Heroes.
