The Halberdier is a combat physical class that was introduced in the Tellius Series. The promoted form of infantry lance wielding classes, Halberdiers wield Lances as their primary weapons of choice.

History in the Series[]

In Path of Radiance, the Halberdier class is introduced as a means for the Soldier class to promote. Wielding Lances as its primary weapon of choice, players are, for the first time, able to expend the potential of Soldier-based characters like Nephenee and Devdan. Contrary to their Sword and Axe counterparts, Halberdiers do not have a 15% bonus to their Critical hit ratings.

In Radiant Dawn, the Halberdier class is further able to promote into the daunting Sentinel class when the necessary requirements are fulfilled. They are also given the same 15% bonus to their critical hit rating as their Sword and Axe counterparts.

In Fire Emblem Warriors, Halberdiers re-appear as an enemy-only class.

Notable Halberdiers[]

Path of Radiance[]

  • Devdan - A Halberdier who is employed by Oliver without pay.
  • Emil - A Daein soldier who is loyal to Petrine.

  • Hafedd - An honourable Halberdier who fights for the sake of meeting worthy adversaries.
  • Promotion for Nephenee.

  • Nephenee - A volunteer soldier from the village of Ohma in Crimea.
  • Danved - An oddball who is also known under the alias "Devdan".
  • Jarod - Commander of the Begnion Occupational Army in Daein.

Trivia[]

  • Real-life historical Halberdiers were named after the weapon they wielded, the Halberd. The lances wielded by the Halberdier would not qualify as halberds with the exception of the Killer Lance and the Wishblade.
    • Possibly avoid confusion with the class, the English localization stopped calling Poleaxes, Halberds, starting with Path of Radiance.
  • In Path of Radiance, Halberdiers are the first promoted enemy units/bosses to be fought.
  • In Radiant Dawn, Halberdiers are the second promoted enemy class to be fought (after Thunder Sage).
  • The early Wyvern Knight class wears a similar helmet to the Halberdier class. Interestingly, both classes wield Lances exclusively and possess a unique skill.
  • In the Japanese version of Path of Radiance, Swordmasters and Berserkers do not have critical hit bonuses, which might explain why Halberdiers also do not have a critical bonus in the game.
