Halberdier

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 could promote into Sentinels.
