The Death Knight is a character-exclusive Class that first appears in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It is the unique class of a character whose true identity is hidden.

Overview[]

Fire Emblem: Three Houses[]

The Death Knight is functionally similar to the Dark Knight, bearing a proficiency for Lances, Reason, and Riding. As an enemy, the Reason affinity of this class ultimately goes unused as the Death Knight solely uses Lances, namely his Scythe of Sariel as his primary weapon. Should he be defeated by Caspar in the paralogue The Face Beneath, he will instead wield a generic Brave Lance.

As of Update 1.1.0, the Death Knight class is made playable, as a Unique class for Jeritza in the Crimson Flower route. The class itself plays like a melee-oriented version of the Dark Knight, as the Class Abilities it has are Canto and replaces both Black and Dark Tomefaire for Lancefaire, with no other Class abilities. The class also sacrifices its 5% growths in Strength and Charm for a 20% growth in HP, rather than 10%. That being said, Death Knight does have one thing going for it that sets it apart from Dark Knight: its Mastery Skill, which is Counterattack, which makes Jeritza a threat at all distances.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes[]

The Death Knight reappears in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, where he specialises in using lances once again, particularly the Scythe of Sariel.

As an enemy, the Death Knight is only encountered under his masked guise in the Azure Gleam route, in Chapter 6 and Chapter 13; he appears unmasked as Jeritza in all other appearances (including when recruited).

The Death Knight class remains unique to Jeritza; if recruited in Azure Gleam, he joins having acquired the class; in Scarlet Blaze, he can acquire the class once Part II has been reached. The class replaces the Dark Knight class for Jeritza, meaning he is the only unit unable to acquire that class.
