Warrior

The Warrior (ウォーリア Uōria) is a combat physical class that recurrently appears across the Fire Emblem Series, beginning from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. The promoted form of the Fighter class, the Warrior class wields Axes and Bows as its weapons of choice. In Radiant Dawn, they are unable to wield standard Bows, and can instead arm Crossbows≥.

In Thracia 776, Marty, a character who is a Brigand by default, promotes into this class instead of the Berserker class.

Overview
Warriors, like Fighters, are characterised by high HP and Strength 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 be fairly proficient at evasion.

Warriors are, however, immensely 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. Their ability to wield Bows makes them capable of attacking any foe without running the risk of triggering any Weapon Triangle penalties. Warriors using bows play slightly differently from Snipers or other bow users, since they generally have higher Might and lower Speed. Since Warriors can only use Bows after promotion, they usually are unable to exploit strong bows initially, and some investment in their training is therefore required. Alternatively, the Warrior could be outfitted with a Tomahawk instead of a Bow, as this weapon has a range of 1-2. Using this weapon does, however, come at the cost of being weak against Swords.

In WiFi battles, Warriors are not very good units to deploy. While their Defense is unsually high, their meager Speed means that they will still be defeated in melee combat by all high-Speed units. Berserkers in particular pose the biggest threat to them, as they are not just strong, but are swift enough to perform double attacks. The low Speed Warriors of Warriors further dampens their case, as this means that they are not able to double attack any promoted unit, including Generals.

Trivia

 * It is worth noting that the uniforms worn by the Warriors in the Jugdral Series and Awakening are reminiscent of Roman gladiators' armor.
 * The Warrior class's description in Awakening claims that it has "peerless strength". 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, where their power is nearly unmatched.
