The Gold Knight (ゴールドナイト, Gōrudo naito) is a powerful horse-mounted combat physical class that is first introduced in Fire Emblem Gaiden. Depending on the game that the class appears in, it acts as the promoted form of different classes, and the equipment that they wield may vary as well.

History in the Series

In the Gold Knight class's inception in Gaiden, it acts as the promoted form of the Paladin class, wielding Lances as its sole weapon of choice.

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, the Gold Knight class appears as one of the promoted forms of the Rook Knight class, wielding both Swords and Lances as its weapons of choice. This class is considered to be one of the most powerful classes in the game due to its massive bases and stat caps, as well as powerful skills. Only one boss and one playable character have access to the class.

In Radiant Dawn, the Gold Knight (黄金騎将ゴールドナイト) class is the promoted form of both the Blade and Axe Paladin classes, wielding Swords and Axes as its weapons of choice.

The class reappears in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, nearly identical to its Gaiden counterpart.
