}}The '''Pegasus Knight''' is a pegasus-mounted combat physical class that debuted in ''[[Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]''.
   
 
== Uniform ==
==History in the Series==
 
 
Characters of the Pegasus Knight class are often depicted outfitted in a tunic, with some of them featured wearing a miniskirt that just covers their hips underneath the tunic. In cases where miniskirts are not worn, the tunic is then lengthened to cover the hip, with most possessing slits on either side of the tunic from the top of their waist to the lower half of their hips. Pegasus Knights also wear a white belt with beige edges around their waist, and which sometimes has a sheath attached to act as sword carriers.
In their original inception in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', Pegasus Knights are able to wield both [[Sword]]s and Lances as their weapons of choice. They promote into [[Wyvern Rider|Dracoknights]] in this installment.
 
   
 
If wearing helmets, they will try to incorporate feathered wing designs on them.
In ''[[Fire Emblem Gaiden|Gaiden]]'', the Pegasus Knight class wields solely Lances and promotes into the [[Falcon Knight]] class instead, gaining the [[Slayer|ability]] to inflict effective damage against [[Monster]]s upon promotion.
 
   
 
Pegasus Knights often not wear leggings, most are shown wearing knee-high or thigh-high socks and boots. However, there are exceptions to this such as the Pegasus Knights of ''Thracia 776'' and ''Radiant Dawn'', who are depicted wearing pants.
In ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem|Mystery of the Emblem]]'', Pegasus Knights are reverted to promoting into Dracoknights yet again. They use only Lances when mounted, reverting to Sword use only when dismounted. While all playable Pegasus Knights are female, the generic enemy Pegasus Knights are male.
 
   
 
Pegasus Knights are also known to wear arm-length or wrist-length gloves, and in some cases, fingerless gloves. Certain depictions feature them with a headband tied around their heads.
Beginning from ''[[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War|Genealogy of the Holy War]]'', the Pegasus Knight class is cleanly separated from the Dragon Knight class, with the Falcon Knight class reintroduced and instituted to be the staple promoted form of the Pegasus Knight. In this installment, Pegasus Knights, like their ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'' predecessors, are able to arm Swords alongside Lances. All Pegasus Knights within the game are explicitly female.
 
   
 
For armor, Pegasus Knights are accustomed to wearing a breastplate, shoulder guards and a round helmet.
Pegasus Knight is the promoted form of the [[Pegasus Rider]] class in ''[[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776|Thracia 776]]''. [[Karin]] is the only playable member of the Pegasus Rider class. It is explained within the game that Pegasi usually only accept females as riders, establishing the class as mostly female.
 
   
 
In ''Awakening'', the belt worn by Pegasus Knights has an item pouch attached to the rear. Their armor has physical similarities to that of female Greek warriors as a reference to the fact that Pegasi are a part of Greek mythology. Playable Pegasus Knight characters such as Sumia, Cordelia and Cynthia have a unique design for their armor and tunic while generic Pegasus Knights don't have any outstanding features.
In ''[[TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga]]'', Pegasus Knights are identical to their portrayal in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', having access to both Swords and Lances and being able to promote into [[Wyvern Rider|Dragon Knight]]. Pegasus Knight is also the promoted form of the [[Princess]] class, requiring the use of a [[☆Pegasus Flute]] to be used in order for the promotion to take place.
 
   
 
In ''Fates'', the Sky Knight uniform is similar to the Pegasus Knights of ''Awakening,'' minus the chest armor. The coloring and patterns are quite similar to Cordelia's version of the uniform. Their pauldrons are segmented and styled after Japanese armor.
To pay homage to their earlier promotion into the Dracoknight class, the Pegasus Knight is further given the option to promote into the [[Wyvern Knight]] class alongside the Falcon Knight class in ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|The Sacred Stones]]''.
 
   
 
==History in the Series==
In ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance|Path of Radiance]]'', Pegasus Knights return to having a singular class change option.
 
 
The '''Pegasus Knight''' recurrently appears across the ''[[Fire Emblem (series)|Fire Emblem Series]]''. In almost all the class' iterations through the years, it has been female-exclusive, featuring warriors straddling [[Pegasus]] steeds and outfitted with [[Lance (weapon)|Lances]] as their primary weapons of choice.

The Pegasus Knight (<ruby>天馬騎士<rt>ペガサスナイト</rt></ruby> ''Pegasasu naito'') class is further able to promote into the [[Seraph Knight]] class after promoting into the Falcoknight class in ''[[Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn|Radiant Dawn]]''. Pegasus Knight itself is technically unplayable as the returning Pegasus Knight from ''Path of Radiance'', [[Marcia]], is recruited as a Falcoknight. Despite this Pegasus Knights still advances to Falcoknight in the game data.
 
   
In ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon|Shadow Dragon]]'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem|New Mystery of the Emblem]]'', remakes of the [[Archanea Series]], the Dracoknight class is re-instated as the main promoted form of the Pegasus Knight class. Usage of special [[Elysian Whip]]s in these two titles grants Pegasus Knights access to the Falcon Knight class.
+
In ''[[Fire Emblem Gaiden]]'' and its remake ''[[Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia]]'', the Pegasus Knight class wields solely Lances and promotes into the [[Falcon Knight]] class instead, gaining the [[Slayer|ability]] to inflict effective damage against [[Monster]]s upon promotion.
   
In ''[[Fire Emblem Awakening|Awakening]]'', Pegasus Knights are further able to promote into [[Dark Flier]] alongside Falcon Knight, a class defined by a black pegasus steed and the ability to wield [[Tomes]] alongside Lances.
+
In ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]'', Pegasus Knights are reverted to promoting into Dracoknights yet again. They use only Lances when mounted, reverting to Sword use only when dismounted. While all playable Pegasus Knights are female, the generic enemy Pegasus Knights are male.

In this installment, Pegasus Knights, like their ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'' predecessors, are capable of wielding Swords alongside Lances. All Pegasus Knights within the game are explicitly female.
The class is renamed '''Sky Knight''' (天馬武者 ''Tenma Musha'', lit. '''Pegasus Warrior''') in ''[[Fire Emblem Fates|Fates]]'' and is made unisex. Treated as a [[Hoshido|Hoshidan]] class, the Sky Knight is able to promote either into the classic Falcon Knight class or the [[Kinshi Knight]] class. The latter class sees Sky Knights swooping into battle atop the backs of mythical [[Kinshi]] with [[Bow]]s and Lances. The Sky Knight's [[Nohr]]ian counterpart is the [[Wyvern Rider]] class. There is also a standalone, and personalized variant of the Pegasus Knight class available to a [[Minerva|character]] only obtainable via download with a promotional code.
 
   
 
Pegasus Knight is the promoted form of the [[Pegasus Rider]] class in ''[[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776]]''. [[Karin]] is the only playable member of the Pegasus Rider class. It is explained within the game that Pegasi usually only accept females as riders, establishing the class as mostly female.
In the spin-off ''[[Fire Emblem Warriors]]'', Pegasus Knights have unique traits as a flying class that gives them the ability to cross over otherwise impassible ravines and over hazardous terrain without taking damage. The class' history as an almost exclusively female class is addressed when [[Frederick]] explains to [[Rowan]] that Pegasi typically dislike men and thus it is nearly impossible for men to become Pegasus Knights.
 
   
 
In ''[[TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga]]'', Pegasus Knights are identical to their portrayal in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', having access to both Swords and Lances and being able to promote into [[Wyvern Rider|Dragon Knight]]. Pegasus Knight is also the promoted form of the [[Princess]] class, requiring the use of a [[☆Pegasus Flute]] to be used for the promotion to take place.
==Overview==
 
===Combat===
 
The Pegasus Knight may seem fragile, but they are one of the most useful classes to have on the field. Their ability to fly over normally impassable terrain for long distances, alongside their ability to use the [[Rescue command]] in later titles, allows them to be used as a type of transport for ground units. Pegasus Knights tend to have very low [[HP]] and [[Defense (stat)|Defense]], a fact that makes them a little more fragile as compared to many other classes. They are also marred by their low [[Constitution]] (in games that utilize this stat), a fact that necessitates the need for them to wield lightweight weapons to prevent chronic [[Attack Speed (stat)|Attack Speed]] losses. Pegasus Knights do possess quite a number of merits, however; their high [[Speed (stat)|Speed]], for instance, is one of their defining traits, aiding them immensely in consistently dodging attacks. They are also fairly strong in terms of [[Resistance]], positing them as effective dispatchers of magic-based enemies.
 
   
 
To pay homage to their earlier promotion into the Dracoknight class, the Pegasus Knight is further given the option to promote into the [[Wyvern Knight]] class alongside the Falcon Knight class in ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|The Sacred Stones]]''.
During any given skirmish, it is essential that Pegasus Knights are kept out of range of bow-wielding enemies. Already sufficiently fragile due to their low HP and Defense, Pegasus Knights are therefore even more vulnerable when facing such foes, ones who are able to inflict effective damage against them. Apart from this, Pegasus Knights must also be wary of wielders of [[Wind (magic)|Wind magic]], as these foes are similarly granted the ability to inflict effective damage against them. This is less of an issue as compared to their vulnerability to bow-wielding foes, as their decent Resistance growths can help them tide through at least one or two of such attacks.

In ''[[Fire Emblem: Three Houses]]'', the Pegasus Knight Class is an optional promoted class of the [[Commoner]] or [[Noble]] class, once again for female units only, if the unit passes the [[Certification Exam]] at Lv. 10 with a Lance Skill Level of C or higher, a Flying Skill Level of D or higher and an [[Intermediate Seal]]. Due to there being no further lance-using infantry classes that aren't tied to Dimitri, Pegasus Knights can be considered to be one of the promoted forms of the [[Soldier]] class, the other being the [[Cavalier]].
  +
  +
In ''[[Vestaria Saga I]]'', the Pegasus Knight is known as the Eagle Rider. Unlike in other Fire Emblem and Saga titles, Eagle Riders ride on Griffons instead. This is likely due to Pegasus Knights being copyrighted by Intelligence Systems. The class is unisex, but all playable Eagle Riders are female. Eagle Riders wield Swords, Maidenswords and Lances. Eagle Riders can promote into the Raptor Knight. In certain instances, Eagle Riders are dismounted.

Revision as of 13:59, 19 June 2020

The Pegasus Knight is a pegasus-mounted combat physical class that debuted in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.

Uniform

Characters of the Pegasus Knight class are often depicted outfitted in a tunic, with some of them featured wearing a miniskirt that just covers their hips underneath the tunic. In cases where miniskirts are not worn, the tunic is then lengthened to cover the hip, with most possessing slits on either side of the tunic from the top of their waist to the lower half of their hips. Pegasus Knights also wear a white belt with beige edges around their waist, and which sometimes has a sheath attached to act as sword carriers.

If wearing helmets, they will try to incorporate feathered wing designs on them.

Pegasus Knights often not wear leggings, most are shown wearing knee-high or thigh-high socks and boots. However, there are exceptions to this such as the Pegasus Knights of Thracia 776 and Radiant Dawn, who are depicted wearing pants.

Pegasus Knights are also known to wear arm-length or wrist-length gloves, and in some cases, fingerless gloves. Certain depictions feature them with a headband tied around their heads.

For armor, Pegasus Knights are accustomed to wearing a breastplate, shoulder guards and a round helmet.

In Awakening, the belt worn by Pegasus Knights has an item pouch attached to the rear. Their armor has physical similarities to that of female Greek warriors as a reference to the fact that Pegasi are a part of Greek mythology. Playable Pegasus Knight characters such as Sumia, Cordelia and Cynthia have a unique design for their armor and tunic while generic Pegasus Knights don't have any outstanding features.

In Fates, the Sky Knight uniform is similar to the Pegasus Knights of Awakening, minus the chest armor. The coloring and patterns are quite similar to Cordelia's version of the uniform. Their pauldrons are segmented and styled after Japanese armor.

History in the Series

The Pegasus Knight recurrently appears across the Fire Emblem Series. In almost all the class' iterations through the years, it has been female-exclusive, featuring warriors straddling Pegasus steeds and outfitted with Lances as their primary weapons of choice. It is also of note that Pegasus Knights tend to hail from locations that possess wintry climates.

In their original inception in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Pegasus Knights can wield both Swords and Lances as their weapons of choice. They promote into Dracoknights in this installment.

In Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the Pegasus Knight class wields solely Lances and promotes into the Falcon Knight class instead, gaining the ability to inflict effective damage against Monsters upon promotion.

In Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, Pegasus Knights are reverted to promoting into Dracoknights yet again. They use only Lances when mounted, reverting to Sword use only when dismounted. While all playable Pegasus Knights are female, the generic enemy Pegasus Knights are male.

Beginning from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, the Pegasus Knight class is cleanly separated from the Dragon Knight class, with the Falcon Knight class reintroduced and instituted to be the staple promoted form of the Pegasus Knight. In this installment, Pegasus Knights, like their Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light predecessors, are capable of wielding Swords alongside Lances. All Pegasus Knights within the game are explicitly female.

Pegasus Knight is the promoted form of the Pegasus Rider class in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Karin is the only playable member of the Pegasus Rider class. It is explained within the game that Pegasi usually only accept females as riders, establishing the class as mostly female.

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, Pegasus Knights are identical to their portrayal in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, having access to both Swords and Lances and being able to promote into Dragon Knight. Pegasus Knight is also the promoted form of the Princess class, requiring the use of a ☆Pegasus Flute to be used for the promotion to take place.

To pay homage to their earlier promotion into the Dracoknight class, the Pegasus Knight is further given the option to promote into the Wyvern Knight class alongside the Falcon Knight class in The Sacred Stones.

In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Pegasus Knights return to having a singular class change option.

The Pegasus Knight (ペガサスナイト天馬騎士) class is further able to promote into the Seraph Knight class after promoting into the Falcoknight class in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Pegasus Knight itself is technically unplayable as the returning Pegasus Knight from Path of Radiance, Marcia, is recruited as a Falcoknight. Despite this Pegasus Knights still advances to Falcoknight in the game data.

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, remakes of the Archanea Series, the Dracoknight class is re-instated as the main promoted form of the Pegasus Knight class. Usage of special Elysian Whips in these two titles grants Pegasus Knights access to the Falcon Knight class.

In Awakening, Pegasus Knights are further able to promote into Dark Flier alongside Falcon Knight, a class defined by a black pegasus steed and the ability to wield Tomes alongside Lances.

The class is renamed Sky Knight in Fire Emblem Fates and is made unisex. Treated as a Hoshidan class, the Sky Knight can promote either into the classic Falcon Knight class or the Kinshi Knight class. The latter class sees Sky Knights swooping into battle atop the backs of mythical Kinshi with Bows and Lances. The Sky Knight's Nohrian counterpart is the Wyvern Rider class. There is also a standalone, and a personalized variant of the Pegasus Knight class available to a character only obtainable via download with a promotional code.

In the spin-off Fire Emblem Warriors, Pegasus Knights have unique traits as a flying class that gives them the ability to cross over otherwise impassable ravines and over hazardous terrain without taking damage. The class' history as an almost exclusively female class is addressed when Frederick explains to Rowan that Pegasi typically dislike men and thus it is nearly impossible for men to become Pegasus Knights.

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the Pegasus Knight Class is an optional promoted class of the Commoner or Noble class, once again for female units only, if the unit passes the Certification Exam at Lv. 10 with a Lance Skill Level of C or higher, a Flying Skill Level of D or higher and an Intermediate Seal. Due to there being no further lance-using infantry classes that aren't tied to Dimitri, Pegasus Knights can be considered to be one of the promoted forms of the Soldier class, the other being the Cavalier.

In Vestaria Saga I, the Pegasus Knight is known as the Eagle Rider. Unlike in other Fire Emblem and Saga titles, Eagle Riders ride on Griffons instead. This is likely due to Pegasus Knights being copyrighted by Intelligence Systems. The class is unisex, but all playable Eagle Riders are female. Eagle Riders wield Swords, Maidenswords and Lances. Eagle Riders can promote into the Raptor Knight. In certain instances, Eagle Riders are dismounted.

Overview

Combat

The Pegasus Knight may seem fragile, but they are one of the most useful classes to have on the field. Their ability to fly over normally impassable terrain for long distances, alongside their ability to use the Rescue command in later titles, allows them to be used as a type of transport for ground units. Pegasus Knights tend to have very low HP and Defense, a fact that makes them a little more fragile as compared to many other classes. They are also marred by their low Constitution (in games that utilize this stat), a fact that necessitates the need for them to wield lightweight weapons to prevent chronic Attack Speed losses. Pegasus Knights do possess quite some merits, however; their high Speed, for instance, is one of their defining traits, aiding them immensely in consistently dodging attacks. They are also fairly strong in terms of Resistance, positing them as effective dispatchers of magic-based enemies.

During any given skirmish, Pegasus Knights must be kept out of range of bow-wielding enemies. Already sufficiently fragile due to their low HP and Defense, Pegasus Knights are therefore even more vulnerable when facing such foes, ones who can inflict effective damage against them. Apart from this, Pegasus Knights must also be wary of wielders of Wind magic, as these foes are similarly granted the ability to inflict effective damage against them. This is less of an issue as compared to their vulnerability to bow-wielding foes, as their decent Resistance growths can help them tide through at least one or two of such attacks.

Trivia

MalePegasusKnight

The male Pegasus Knights appearing in Mystery of the Emblem are the first in the entire series until Fates. Note the male rider in comparison to the playable female one.

  • In Mystery of the Emblem, enemy Pegasus Knights appear to be male, making them the first known male Pegasus Knights in the series. In Fire Emblem Fates, the class has become unisex with Subaki officially being the first male Pegasus unit under the player's control.
  • In The Blazing Blade, enemy Pegasus Knights appear female and are otherwise indistinguishable from allied Pegasus Knights, except that they use the male mounted formula for AID, giving them the highest AID of any unit in the game, 20.
  • Pegasus Knights are generally female due to the myth of the unicorn, which states that only pure-hearted maidens could approach Pegasi. Pegasi within the series alternate between being traditional pegasi or an alicorn/winged unicorn.
