Is wii counter.png

It has been proposed that this page be split into Dark Flier and Dark Falcon. Please discuss this change on the talk page or on Discord.


Reason: They have different names (see stuff like Samurai and Myrmidon), and one is an advanced class and the other is a special class

Dark Flier

The Dark Flier (Japanese: ダークペガサス Dark Pegasus), also known as the Dark Falcon (Japanese: ダークファルコン Dark Falcon) is a flying class which debuted in Fire Emblem Awakening. In Awakening, it is a female-only advanced class and one of two class change options for the Pegasus Knight, it gains the use of magic along with lances. It is the first flying class in the Fire Emblem series to wield offensive magic. In Fates, the Dark Falcon is instead a gender-inspecific special class unattached to a class change tree, associated with Nohr despite its usage of a pegasus (which would otherwise suggest a Hoshidan origin), otherwise largely similar to its Awakening incarnation.

The class later reappears in Three Houses as downloadable content, as part of the Cindered Shadows side story. It becomes available in the main story after completing the first chapter of this side story.
