A Warrior (戦士) is the promoted form of a Fighter in the Fire Emblem series. The Fighter only wields Axes, but when it promotes into Warrior, it gains the ability to use Bows (however, in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn they can use only crossbows).

Warriors, like Fighters, are characterized by high Strength and HP with moderate Speed, while lacking in Skill and usually Defense. This makes them an easy target for sword-users who are generally faster and more accurate than Warriors as well as magic-users such as Sages or Bishops, who tend to have high evade ratings.

In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Marty, who was a Brigand, could promote into this class.

Combat

Warriors are highly offensive units, who are useful in taking down defensive units, such as Generals and Paladins. Unlike Fighters and Berserkers, Warriors are not locked into the axe-only weapon triangle position. Instead, their use of bows makes them able to attack any foe, regardless of their weapon type. Warriors using bows play slightly differently to Snipers, or other bow users, since they have very high attack and lower speed. Since Warriors can only use bows after promotion, they usually are unable to exploit strong bows initially, and some investment is needed to use them. Circumstantially, it is better for a Warrior to use Tomahawks instead of bows. This gives them 1-2 range, but comes at the cost of a weakness to swords. That being said, if the player wants to use their bows, the Warrior's power-packed arrows are great for defeating pesky aerial units.

In WiFi battles, Warriors are not very good classes. They have an unusually high defense stat, but their meager speed cap means they will still be defeated one-on-one by all high speed units. Berserkers in particular, can still double Warriors. Warriors' low speed means they cannot double any promoted unit, including Generals. Their use of powerful bows and axes are negated by their inability to double.

Promotion

Since they are already promoted, Warriors cannot change classes, except in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (a game with three promotion tiers), where they promote into Reavers.

Trivia

  • It is worth noting that the artwork of the warriors from Fire Emblem: Awakening is reminiscent of Roman gladiators' armor.
  • Their description in Awakening claims that Warriors have "peerless strength", but in actuality, their Strength cap is surpassed by both Berserkers and Generals by a mere two points. This could be in comparison to other classes, in which case, their power is nearly unmatched.
