The Swordmaster is the promoted variation of the Myrmidon. These lightly armored foot soldiers are capable of dealing heavy damage and have an increased chance to deal critical attacks. Coupled with their high strength, the Swordmaster has a high amount of speed when compared to many of the other classes, giving them high accuracy and evasion, making them a very deadly class. The Swordmaster class was officially introduced in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, while the Myrmidon class first appeared in Fire Emblem Gaiden and was given that name in Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi. In Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, the Blade Lord, Lyndis, and the Great Lord ­Eirika from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones are considered to be a variations of Swordmasters, having the same caps stats.

Generally, swordmasters are seen wielding curved swords (For the games, of course, that did not have seperate weapon graphics).

While the defense rating has risen since the promotion from Myrmidon, the Swordmaster's defense is still considered lighter than normal classes. With this, the same weaknesses still apply to the class, but the strengths still do as well. With high speed and strength, Swordmasters deliver both strong and accurate attacks, and swift dodgers, making their counter attacks equally as formidable. Attacking these units outside their range with other high accuracy classes with magic or bows is recommended, but only if the ranged unit is also blocked by a stronger class to block the Swordmaster's advance. Also, swordmasters gain a critical boost among promotion that varies depending on the game played (e.g. 30% in Fūin no Tsurugi and 15% in Rekka no Ken, Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, where Trueblades, swordmasters promoted, have 20%).

[edit] Promotions

In the GBA Fire Emblem series,the Swordmaster is the promoted version of the Myrmidon and can not be promoted any further. However, in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, a Swordmaster can further be promoted to Trueblades upon reaching level 21 or reaching level 10 or above and using a Master Crown.
