The Wyvern Lord (ドラゴンマスター Doragon masutā, lit. Dragonmaster in the Japanese versions) is a Wyvern-mounted combat physical class that recurrently appears across the Fire Emblem Series, beginning from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. One of the promoted forms of the Wyvern Rider class, Wyvern Lords commonly wield Lances as their primary weapon of choice, and wield either Swords or Axes as their secondary weapons of choice. In more recent installments, the primary weapon armed by Wyvern Lords has been changed to Axes, while Lances have been switched to their secondary weapon.

History in the Series

In its original inception in Genealogy of the Holy War, the Dragonmaster class is introduced as the promoted form of the Dragon Knight class, following the clean separation of the latter class from the Pegasus Knight class. This iteration of the class wields both Swords and Lances as its weapons of choice.

In Thracia 776, the Dragonmaster class is absent due to the fact that the Dragon Knight assumes its role as a promoted class, while the Dragon Rider takes over the Dragon Knight class's original role as a first-tier class.

Beginning from Rekka no Ken, the Dragonmaster class is officially localised as the Wyvern Lord class, and will continue to be referred to as such for most of the following titles in the series.

Beginning from Path of Radiance, Wyvern Lords begin arming Lances and Axes as their weapons of choice, shedding the ability to wield Swords.

In Radiant Dawn, the Wyvern Lord class is again referred to as the Dragonmaster (聖竜騎士ドラゴンマスター Doragon masutā). This version of the class wields Lances and Axes as its weapons of choice, and is further able to promote into the Dragonlord class when the necessary requirements are fulfilled.

In Fates, the Wyvern Lord class is treated as a Nohrian class.

Overview

Combat

In Binding Blade, Rekka no Ken, The Sacred Stones and Path of Radiance, Wyvern Lords are flying units that, when compared to Falcon Knights, boast higher HP, Strength and Defense at the cost of, Speed and Resistance. Their Skill tends to be below average in most of the games, but is actually above average in Radiant Dawn and Fates. Like other flying classes, Wyvern Lords are vulnerable to Bows and Wind Magic (this is changed to Thunder Magic in Radiant Dawn).

In Awakening, Wyvern Lords learn two skills, Quick Burn and Swordbreaker. Quick Burn allows its user to hit and avoid better at the beginning of the battle, after which the effects wear off gradually. The beneficial effects of the skill should thus be taken advantage of quickly before withdrawing the unit in question from direct harm. Swordbreaker, on the other hands is ideal when battling against sword users, in particular Swordmasters because of their high Skill.

Trivia

• In Awakening, the Wyvern Lord class can be seen as a parallel to the General; both have the highest Strength and Defense caps (on the ground and in the air respectively), both have a status which makes them vulnerable to a certain type of weapon (two in the case of the Wyvern Lord, being weak against Wyrmslayers, the Book of Naga, Bows, Wind Magic, Volant Axes, and all variations of Falchion) and both classes wields Axes and Lances.
