The Barbarian (Japanese: 蛮族 Barbarian) is a basic infantry class which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. They are an axe-wielding class found only among enemies with the exception of Awakening; they play a similar role and have similar stats to several other enemy-only axe classes, such as the Brigand, Bandit and Pirate. Unlike these classes, Barbarians do not have any unique ability to cross terrain types that are otherwise difficult, if not impossible, to cross.
Barbarians also are treated similar to an advanced class in the original Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem as they have high base stats and give out Experience equal to promoted classes like Bishop and Horseman, though no class advances to Barbarian. In this game, Barbarians have low speed, but have very high defense in addition to usually wielding Devil Axes, which never backfire on them.
In Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, Barbarians are a Basic class, but have high stat caps similar to a promoted class. Through hacking the game files, it can be seen Barbarians promote to Berserker.
Barbarians, like the other similar "criminal axe-fighter" classes, have very high strength and HP, as well as good speed. However, not only do they suffer from the traditional poor skill stat of axe-wielding classes, which along with the low accuracy of axes gives them poor hit rates, but they are also affected by terrible resistance, with their high HP failing to do much to mitigate this. Outside of the original Mystery of the Emblem, they also have terrible defense as well. Among enemies, this makes them risky to fight carelessly but relatively easy to quickly damage and defeat.
When the class became playable in Awakening, they also gained the ability to promote to the Berserker and Warrior classes, like the Brigand, Pirate and other similar classes did in earlier games. However, no standard playable character in Awakening joins as a Barbarian, and the player's sole access to the class is through reclassing compatible units.
