==History in the Series==
  +
In their original inception in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', the Pirate is credited as the first infantry class in the series that is able to traverse water-based terrain. This version of the class is unable to promote, has high defense, and together with [[Fighter]] is only axe using class within the game. One Pirate, [[Darros]] is recruitable.
  +
 
In ''[[Fire Emblem Gaiden|Gaiden]]'', the Pirate class overlaps with the [[Brigand]] class, which gains the Pirate's ability to cross water-based terrain.
  +
  +
The pirate class is unplayable in ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem|Mystery of the Emblem]]'' where Darros is absent. Like the other criminal classes, they take extra damage from the [[Ladyblade]].
  +
  +
In ''[[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War|Genealogy of the Holy War]]'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776|Thracia 776]]'', the Pirate class is enemy-exclusive, emerging in droves from time to time with the sole purpose of plundering [[Village]]s when battles are actively taking place. In ''Thracia 776'', Pirates appeared alongside the likewise enemy exclusive [[Berserker]] class.
  +
  +
In ''[[TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga]]'', the pirate class is playable again. They retain their ability to walk on water, and have the [[Sea Fighter]] skill which gives them one extra movement on maps near the ocean. Once again, the class is incapable of promotion.
  +
  +
Beginning from ''[[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade|The Binding Blade]]'', Pirates are given the ability to promote into Berserkers for the first time in the series. As Berserkers, Pirates retain the ability to traverse water-based terrain, alongside an increased [[Critical rate]] of 30% in ''The Binding Blade'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade|The Blazing Blade]]''.
  +
  +
In ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|The Sacred Stones]]'', Pirates are further given the option to promote into [[Warrior]]s alongside Berserkers. While they gain the ability to wield [[Bow]]s as Warriors, Pirates lose their ability to cross water-based terrain to compensate.
  +
  +
The role played by Pirates in ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance|Path of Radiance]]'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn|Radiant Dawn]]'' is, like in ''Gaiden'', assumed by Brigands, who are imbued with the ability to cross water-based terrain.
  +
  +
Pirates return as playable in''[[TearRing Saga: Berwick Saga]].'' Unusually pirates have [[thief]]-like abilities including the ability to steal from enemies, search areas, and their ability to walk on the Ocean allows them to find hidden objects. The pirate class is equivalent to a Tier 2 class, it has high HP, strength, and agility in exchange for low defense.
  +
  +
The Pirate class formally returns to the series in ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon|Shadow Dragon]]'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem|New Mystery of the Emblem]]'', where they promote directly into Berserkers.

In terms of stats, Pirates are similar to other axe-wielding units such as [[Fighter]]s and [[Brigand]]s.

They sometimes have low [[Skill (stat)|Skill]] as well, making it difficult for them to hit accurately.

The Pirate (パイレーツ Pairētsu) is a combat physical class commonly found across the Fire Emblem Series. This class wields Axes as its sole weapon of choice.

History in the Series

In their original inception in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, the Pirate is credited as the first infantry class in the series that is able to traverse water-based terrain. This version of the class is unable to promote, has high defense, and together with Fighter is only axe using class within the game. One Pirate, Darros is recruitable.

In Gaiden, the Pirate class overlaps with the Brigand class, which gains the Pirate's ability to cross water-based terrain.

The pirate class is unplayable in Mystery of the Emblem where Darros is absent. Like the other criminal classes, they take extra damage from the Ladyblade.

In Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, the Pirate class is enemy-exclusive, emerging in droves from time to time with the sole purpose of plundering Villages when battles are actively taking place. In Thracia 776, Pirates appeared alongside the likewise enemy exclusive Berserker class.

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, the pirate class is playable again. They retain their ability to walk on water, and have the Sea Fighter skill which gives them one extra movement on maps near the ocean. Once again, the class is incapable of promotion.

Beginning from The Binding Blade, Pirates are given the ability to promote into Berserkers for the first time in the series. As Berserkers, Pirates retain the ability to traverse water-based terrain, alongside an increased Critical rate of 30% in The Binding Blade and The Blazing Blade.

In The Sacred Stones, Pirates are further given the option to promote into Warriors alongside Berserkers. While they gain the ability to wield Bows as Warriors, Pirates lose their ability to cross water-based terrain to compensate.

The role played by Pirates in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn is, like in Gaiden, assumed by Brigands, who are imbued with the ability to cross water-based terrain.

Pirates return as playable inTearRing Saga: Berwick Saga. Unusually pirates have thief-like abilities including the ability to steal from enemies, search areas, and their ability to walk on the Ocean allows them to find hidden objects. The pirate class is equivalent to a Tier 2 class, it has high HP, strength, and agility in exchange for low defense.

The Pirate class formally returns to the series in Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem, where they promote directly into Berserkers.

Overview

Combat

In terms of stats, Pirates are similar to other axe-wielding units such as Fighters and Brigands. They possess characteristically high Strength, HP and somewhat low Defense, although not to the same extreme as the regular Fighter. They sometimes have low Skill as well, making it difficult for them to hit accurately.

The Pirate class' most notable characteristic is its ability to stand on/walk across water tiles (at the cost of their movement being greatly hindered), an ability that most other classes lack.

Like Brigands and Thieves, enemy Pirates are able to destroy villages by ending their turn on their entrances. Upon doing so, the village will be destroyed and any item that could have been obtained will be lost. This can be prevented by visiting the village with any ally unit before it gets destroyed.
