The Thief Fighter is a physical combat class that is unique to the Jugdral Series of Fire Emblem. The original promoted form of Thieves, this class wields Swords.
Essentially, Thief Fighters are Thieves with stronger combat capability, able to better defend themselves and deal more damage. They retain the Thief class's ability to steal from enemies and open locks without need of keys.
In later titles, the Thief Fighter class was replaced with classes such as Rogue, Assassin, or Trickster as potential Thief promotions.
History in the Series[]
In its original inception in Genealogy of the Holy War, the Thief Fighter class is introduced as the promoted form of the Thief class, which was unable to promote in prior titles.
In Thracia 776, the Thief Fighter class is again the promoted form of the Thief class. This incarnation of the class is particularly special for Lara; depending on whether the necessary requirements are met, she can promote from a Thief into either the Dancer or Thief Fighter classes.
The Thief Fighter class has not appeared in games since Thracia 776, though later games introduce promotion classes for Thief with similar utility.
