Maelduin
| ||||||
|
TheMaelduin (Japanese:マグダイルMacdaire) class, is a class ofaxe andbow-using monsters that appears inFire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. A Maelduin is a half-human, half-bull mix. Since Maelduins are monsters, they are an enemy-only class. They are a stronger version of theTarvos class, equivalent to a promoted unit. Maelduins appear as strong enemies when monsters are present in several chapters, theTower of Valni, and theLagdou Ruins.
Maelduins are quite strong enemies. They have quite high strength and defense, and above average speed. However, their skill is slightly low, so they rarely hit. Still, they are able to use both axes and bows, which is quite useful for them, able to attack from one or two spaces away. Still, they can be defeated with a speedysword user or amagic-user, since they have average resistance. They are treated as mounted units, and as such are vulnerable to weapons such ashorseslayers.
The boss ofEirika'sChapter 12 is a Maelduin.
