Halberdier
First Seen Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Promotes From Soldier Promotes To Sentinel Usable Weapon Types Lance Class Skills Critical +5, Luna, Shove

Halberdiers are promoted Soldiers in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. They wield lances and, contrary to Swordmasters and Berserkers, they do not have 15% bonus critical hit ratings in Path of Radiance, though in Radiant Dawn they gained a critical bonus. They promote like any other unit, as they have to reach level 21 or to use a Master Seal. Stat-wise, they have higher Speed and Skill than Generals, but at the cost of lower Defense. In Radiant Dawn they can promote into Sentinels.

TriviaEdit

• In FE9, Halberdiers are the first promoted enemy units/bosses to be fought.
• In FE10, Halberdiers are the second promoted enemy class to be fought (after Thunder Sage).
• The early Wyvern Knight class wears a similar helmet. Interestingly both are lance only classes with a unique skill.
• In the Japanese version of Path of Radiance, Swordmasters and Berserkers didn't have critical bonuses, which might explain why Halberdiers also didn't have a critical bonus in that game.
