“Legendary lancers who stride battlefields with calm and surety.”
—Class Description

The Sentinel (ホーリーランサー Hōrī ransā, lit. Holy Lancer in the Japanese version and Lancer in PAL region game versions) is a combat physical class that is first introduced in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. The promoted form of the Halberdier class, the Sentinel, like its Japanese name suggests, wields Lances as its sole weapon of choice. It is the highest class tier of the lance-wielding class tree that it appears in.

In Fates, the Sentinel class is called Spear Master (槍聖 Sōsei, lit. Holy Lancer in the Japanese version) and is treated as a Hoshidan class. This class acts as one of the promoted forms of the Spear Fighter class.

In-Game

Overview

Sentinels are very strong units. With all-around high stats, they can sustain, dodge (or block, since Sentinels use shields for their dodge animations), and deliver many blows to inflict substantial amounts of damage. They are more preferable to Marshalls, since they are easier to train in all class forms, although they can are only confined to wielding Lances while Marshalls are able to handle all physical melee weapons.
