'''Dragon Rider''' ({{hover|ドラゴンライダー|Doragon Raidaa}}) is a name for an enemy-only dragon-riding class that only appears in {{FE4}}. It is very similar to the playable class called Dragon Knight ({{hover|ドラゴンナイト|Doragon Naito}}) in the same game. In the sequel, {{FE5}}, the playable dragon class became Dragon Rider. However, this page is only for the enemy Dragon Rider class of ''Genealogy of the Holy War''; the basic dragon class's data can be found at the [[Wyvern Rider]] page.
(Japanese: {{hover|ドラゴンライダー|Doragonraidā}} ''Dragon Rider'') is a basic [[wyvern]]-mounted flying class introduced in {{FE4}}. Exclusive to ''Genealogy'' and {{title|Thracia 776}}, it is a somewhat weaker counterpart to the [[Wyvern Rider]] class which was enemy-exclusive in ''Genealogy'' before becoming playable in ''Thracia 776''. In ''Thracia 776'', it is playable and acts as the game's basic wyvern-mounted class, with the [[Wyvern Rider]] serving as its promoted form; after ''Thracia'', the Dragon Rider does not appear again, with ''Genealogy''<nowiki>'s<nowiki> Wyvern Rider-[[Wyvern Lord]] class tree remaining for the rest of the series.


Dragon riders are a quite formidable enemy. Their HP, strength, and defense are high, and their high movement lets them move around easily. However, they have rather average skill and speed, which can lead to them rarely hitting playable units. Also, since they are flying units, [[bow (weapon)|bows]] are very effective against them, and their extremely low resistance means that magic attacks will easily defeat them.
Like the Wyvern Rider, the Dragon Rider acts as a statistical counterpoint to the [[Pegasus Rider]]: whereas its pegasus-riding cousin is fast and frail, the Dragon Rider is oriented in a bulky, powerful manner. Their [[strength]] and [[defense]] are both high, with lesser [[skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]] compared to Pegasus Riders, and they share the same high movement and access to [[Canto]] as Pegasus Rider and other mounted classes. However, their [[resistance]] is abysmal even compared to other physical classes. They also share the Pegasus Rider family's weakness to [[bow (weapon)|bows]] and [[wind (magic)|wind magic]].
 
Since dragon riders are an enemy-only class, they have no official promotion data.

Canto

(Japanese: ドラゴンライダー Dragon Rider) is a basic wyvern-mounted flying class introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Exclusive to Genealogy and Thracia 776, it is a somewhat weaker counterpart to the Wyvern Rider class which was enemy-exclusive in Genealogy before becoming playable in Thracia 776. In Thracia 776, it is playable and acts as the game's basic wyvern-mounted class, with the Wyvern Rider serving as its promoted form; after Thracia, the Dragon Rider does not appear again, with Genealogy<nowiki>'s<nowiki> Wyvern Rider-Wyvern Lord class tree remaining for the rest of the series.

Like the Wyvern Rider, the Dragon Rider acts as a statistical counterpoint to the Pegasus Rider: whereas its pegasus-riding cousin is fast and frail, the Dragon Rider is oriented in a bulky, powerful manner. Their strength and defense are both high, with lesser skill and speed compared to Pegasus Riders, and they share the same high movement and access to Canto as Pegasus Rider and other mounted classes. However, their resistance is abysmal even compared to other physical classes. They also share the Pegasus Rider family's weakness to bows and wind magic.
