Lance Knight
| ||||||
|
TheLance Knight orLance Cavalier (Japanese:ランスナイトLance Knight) is a class oflance-using soldiers riding on horseback, similar to theCavalier class. They first appeared inFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and its direct sequelThracia 776, but were absent in theGBA games. Later, they reappeared inPath of Radiance,Radiant Dawn andEngage.
Lance Knights are very capable and useful units. Since they ride on horseback, they can move quickly and have useful stats in all categories, except for resistance. Therefore, like most physical units, they are very vulnerable to magic attacks. InThracia 776, they candismount from their horses to useswords, traverse certain terrain, or for other purposes. Also, in all games, they can move again after most actions; this is represented with theCanto skill inRadiant Dawn.
InGenealogy of the Holy War andThracia 776, they promote to theDuke Knight class. Later, inPath of Radiance, Lance Knights can becomePaladins and gain the use of another weapon. InRadiant Dawn, they becomeLance Paladins and can further promote to theSilver Knight class. Lastly, inEngage, the class can promote to either Paladin orWolf Knight.
