The '''General''' (Japanese: {{ | The '''General''' (Japanese: {{hl|ジェネラル|Jeneraru}} ''General'') is an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced]] armored [[class]] which debuted in {{FE1}} and is present in almost every game since; with the sole exception of the first game, it is the [[Class change|promoted]] form of the [[Knight]] or its weapon-specific variants. It is absent in {{title|Gaiden}} and {{title|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}, where it is replaced by the [[Baron]] class; in {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, where it is divided into three weapon specialist variants—the [[Sword General]], [[Lance General]], and [[Axe General]]; and in {{title|Three Houses}}, where it is replaced by the equivalent [[Fortress Knight]]. {{title|Engage}}, similarly to ''Radiant Dawn'', has three weapon-specific variants of the General, but they otherwise statistically identical to each other. | ||
Generals almost always wield [[lance]]s, with the sole exception of {{FE1}} where they can only use [[sword]]s. Their other weapons have varied wildly across the series, with {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}} and {{title|Thracia 776}} even giving them access to all four physical weapon types. | |||
As with their basic form, Generals epitomize slow and defensive gameplay: their immense [[defense]] and [[HP]] grants them excellent defensive capabilities, at the expense of low [[speed]] and the lowest [[movement]] of any class. Though their [[resistance]] stat is average, it is low compared to their defense, making them relatively vulnerable to magical attacks. | |||
Their combat capabilities are decent, with good [[strength]] and typically possessing access to a wide variety of physical weapons, but are hindered by their low speed often leading to them being [[follow-up attack]]ed, and by their low movement preventing them from keeping up with other allied units in crossing the field. The ideal use for Generals is as defensive pivots to guard choke points and thrones in [[Objectives|defensive maps]], or as bait to lure physically-attacking enemy [[unit]]s and sponge their attacks. | |||
The General is the promoted form of the Knight in most games, with some exceptions. | The General is the promoted form of the Knight in most games, with some exceptions. Despite both classes existing at the time, neither was associated with a class change line in ''Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light''; this was changed in {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}} with the establishment of the General as the Knight's advanced form. In {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}} and {{title|Thracia 776}}—where class change is determined by the individual unit—all Knight variants available to the player change into Generals. {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, {{title|Awakening}}, {{title|Fates}}, and ''Engage'' allow Knights the option of promoting to either General or [[Great Knight]]. | ||

The General (Japanese: ジェネラル General) is an advanced armored class which debuted in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and is present in almost every game since; with the sole exception of the first game, it is the promoted form of the Knight or its weapon-specific variants. It is absent in Gaiden and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, where it is replaced by the Baron class; in Radiant Dawn, where it is divided into three weapon specialist variants—the Sword General, Lance General, and Axe General; and in Three Houses, where it is replaced by the equivalent Fortress Knight. Engage, similarly to Radiant Dawn, has three weapon-specific variants of the General, but they otherwise statistically identical to each other.
Generals almost always wield lances, with the sole exception of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light where they can only use swords. Their other weapons have varied wildly across the series, with Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776 even giving them access to all four physical weapon types.
As with their basic form, Generals epitomize slow and defensive gameplay: their immense defense and HP grants them excellent defensive capabilities, at the expense of low speed and the lowest movement of any class. Though their resistance stat is average, it is low compared to their defense, making them relatively vulnerable to magical attacks.
Their combat capabilities are decent, with good strength and typically possessing access to a wide variety of physical weapons, but are hindered by their low speed often leading to them being follow-up attacked, and by their low movement preventing them from keeping up with other allied units in crossing the field. The ideal use for Generals is as defensive pivots to guard choke points and thrones in defensive maps, or as bait to lure physically-attacking enemy units and sponge their attacks.
The General is the promoted form of the Knight in most games, with some exceptions. Despite both classes existing at the time, neither was associated with a class change line in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light; this was changed in Mystery of the Emblem with the establishment of the General as the Knight's advanced form. In Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776—where class change is determined by the individual unit—all Knight variants available to the player change into Generals. The Sacred Stones, Awakening, Fates, and Engage allow Knights the option of promoting to either General or Great Knight.

Trivia
- There have been more General bosses than bosses of any other class in the Fire Emblem series.
- The shells worn by generic Generals in Fire Emblem Fates are available as accessories in My Castle.
- Generals are unable to wield Levin Swords in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light due to graphical glitches resulting from their battle animations.
- The General is one of only two playable classes in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (the other being the unpromoted Armored Knight) and the only playable class outright in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 to be able to wield lances while unmounted. Therefore, they are the only ones who can wield lances indoors and the only ones who can wield lances in the respective final chapters.
