The '''Black Knight''' (Japanese: <ruby><rb>{{hover|漆黒の騎士|Shikkoku no kishi}}</rb><rt>{{Hover|ダークナイト|Dākunaito}}</rt></ruby> ''Dark Knight'') is a [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier advanced]] infantry [[class]] which is exclusive to {{FE10}}. As its name suggests, this class is exclusive to the [[Black Knight (character)|Black Knight]] in both his brief playable roles and his appearances as a boss, whereas in the preceding game, {{FE9}}, he was simply a [[General]]. It is a modified, more powerful version of the [[Marshall]] class available to other playable characters.

The Black Knight class possesses extremely fearsome [[HP]], [[strength]] and [[defense]], exceeding those of normal classes by a significant margin. The remainder of its stats are high, with even its [[speed]], the closest thing it has to a weak point, being respectable. The class's strengths are improved even further by the Black Knight's signature weapon, [[Alondite]], which not only sports increased [[range]] and great power but also gives a boost to its user's defense. Whenever he is playable, the Black Knight is literally impossible to defeat as no enemies are able to even deal 1 HP of damage to him, and when he appears as a boss in Part 4, defeating the Black Knight is an extended game of attrition where [[Ike]] must slowly build up damage on him while surviving his onslaught.

== Trivia ==
==Trivia==
* The Black Knight is one of only five playable classes in ''Radiant Dawn'' whose members can achieve multiple [[Weapon level|SS ranks]]. The others are the [[Light Priestess]], [[Vanguard]], [[Chancellor]] and [[Saint]]. Of these classes, the Saint is the only one which is not exclusive to a single character.
* The NTSC-U description erroneously states that the Black Knight wields Luna instead of Eclipse. This error occurred due to Luna and Eclipse sharing the same Japanese name. This was corrected in the PAL release.
* The English description erroneously refers to Daein's Four Riders as the "Four Horsemen". This error occurred due to "rider" and "horseman" both being valid translations of the Japanese term {{lang|ja|駿}}.
* The Black Knight class shares all of its stats with a [[Marshall]] variant belonging to [[Zelgius]]. This variant is unused outside of cutscenes.
