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 only in {{title|Gaiden}}, {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, {{title|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}} and {{title|Three Houses}}; in ''Radiant Dawn'', it is instead divided into three weapon specialist variants, the [[Sword General]], [[Lance General]], and [[Axe General]]; while in ''Three Houses'', it is replaced by the equivalent [[Fortress Knight]]. Generals have always wielded [[lance (weapon)|lances]] in every game in which they appear, with the sole exception of {{FE1}} where instead they can only use [[sword]]s, but 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.
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.


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. Their primary weakness is to magical attacks, owing to their mediocre [[resistance]], except in {{title|Radiant Dawn}} where the General variations have some of the best resistance among the physical classes. 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 [[Attack speed|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 [[Objectives|defensive maps]], or as bait to lure physically-attacking enemy [[unit]]s and sponge their attacks.
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.


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 rectified 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}}, the General is the promoted form of the two Knight variants available to the player: the [[Armored Sword]] in the former, and the [[Armored Axe]] in the latter. {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, {{title|Awakening}}, and {{title|Fates}} allow Knights the option of promoting to either General or [[Great Knight]].
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.
