'''Ranger''' (known as '''Forest Knight''' in Japanese releases) is a horse-mounted combat physical class that first appeared in ''[[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War]]''.
In ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' and ''Thracia 776'', they are the promoted version of the [[Free Knight]], and have more speed and skill than a [[Paladin]].
 
   
  +
==History in the Series==
In ''The Sacred Stones'', it is one of the classes an [[Archer]] or a [[Mercenary]] can promote to, and can use [[Bow]]s as well as swords. To promote an archer to that class, they must use the [[Orion's Bolt]] after they reach level ten. For mercenaries, the level condition remains the same but you must use a [[Hero Crest]] instead. A difference between the Ranger and [[Sniper]] is that a ranger is unable to mount ballistas.

In its original inception in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' and ''[[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776|Thracia 776]]'', the Ranger is the promoted form of the [[Free Knight]] class, wielding [[Sword]]s as its sole weapon of choice. The class's [[Skill (stat)|Skill]] and [[Speed (stat)|Speed]] are superior to those boasted by the [[Paladin]] class.

The class later appear in ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones|The Sacred Stones]]'', the first title to feature it with a localized name of Ranger. One of the promoted forms of both the [[Archer]] and [[Mercenary]] classes, Rangers are able to equip both Swords and Bows, but lose the ability to mount [[Ballista]]e.
Like all mounted units, Forrest Knights generally have great mobility, though may be slower than other mounts. Forrest Knights are noted for being the only mounted unit being able to navigate across water, which is something only a [[Berserker]], [[Pirate]], [[Thief]], or flying unit would be able to do.

For the starting class of Ike in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, see Ranger (Path of Radiance).

Ranger (known as Forest Knight in Japanese releases) is a horse-mounted combat physical class that first appeared in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.

History in the Series

In its original inception in Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776, the Ranger is the promoted form of the Free Knight class, wielding Swords as its sole weapon of choice. The class's Skill and Speed are superior to those boasted by the Paladin class.

The class later appear in The Sacred Stones, the first title to feature it with a localized name of Ranger. One of the promoted forms of both the Archer and Mercenary classes, Rangers are able to equip both Swords and Bows, but lose the ability to mount Ballistae.

Later entries feature a similar class concept in the Bow Knight.

Overview

Combat
