The Sword Knight is a horse-mounted physical combat class introduced in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

Class History

As the name implies, Sword Knights are a subset of the horseback Knight class who ride into battle wielding Swords as their weapon of choice, similar to the Free Knight class from the Jugdral Series.

Alongside their older sibling classes, the Lance Knight and Axe Knight from the Jugdral Series, the Sword Knight replaces the Cavalier class, as well as completing a Weapon Triangle trio for horseback classes.

Like their sibling classes, Sword Knights promote into a Sword variant of the Paladin class.
