Fighter


 * Not to be confused with the Gaiden class

A Fighter (also called Axe Fighter (斧戦士) in the Jugdral Series games) is a robust unit specializing in axes. They tend to have high HP and strength, moderate Speed, but poor defense. They are present in all games in the series.

In the Tellius Series, the Laguz Tigers are, stat wise, the equivalent of a fighter, having the same types of growths (except they have very high defence in tiger form).

In the beginning of every game, they can be used to beat enemy Soldiers and Knights most easily.

Promotion
Fighters can't class change in Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi and Mystery of the Emblem. In the later games of the series, however, they usually promote to Warriors, although Thracia 776's Axe Fighter units promote to Mercenary instead. In both Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and Fire Emblem: Awakening they are given the option of promoting into either a Warrior or a Hero, gaining the ability to use swords.

Variations
In Thracia 776, Axe Fighters have higher skill and speed, being essentially Sword Fighters with axes.

Although named Fighter, Alm's class in Fire Emblem Gaiden is very different from this one, actually being a regular, sword-using class, promoting to Hero. It should be noted that no player units in Gaiden can use axes.

Combat
Fighters wield axes, which allows maximum use of their high strength. Their main weakness is their low defense. Fighters serve well as tanks alongside other supporting units such as Cavaliers and Knights. It is wise to have a healer nearby to keep the Fighter on his feet.
