The Great Knight (Japanese: グレートナイト Great Knight), known as the Axe Paladin (Japanese:
In its original incarnation in Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776 and Radiant Dawn, the Great Knight (Axe Paladin in Radiant Dawn) is the promoted version of the Axe Knight, exclusively wields axes, and is a counterpart to its fellow weapon-specific advanced mounted classes: Bow Knight/Bow Paladin, Duke Knight/Lance Paladin and Ranger/Blade Paladin. In Thracia 776, Great Knights are forced to dismount to enter buildings or participate in chapters set entirely indoors, and when doing so are forced to wield swords instead. The second variation is that of The Sacred Stones, Awakening, and Fates, acting as a promoted class for both Cavaliers and Knights, and possessing access to swords, lances and axes in equal measure.
In both cases, Great Knights are built to be bulkier and more defensively-oriented than their mounted counterparts by possessing greater HP and defense and slightly superior strength at the expense of lower skill and speed, though this is more pronounced in the Sacred Stones/Awakening version of the class. The Sacred Stones/Awakening variant is designed as a hybrid between mounted and armored classes, possessing the weaknesses of both categories and acting as a mid-point between the stat spreads of the two; similarly, the Sacred Stones/Awakening/Fates version possesses lower movement than all other advanced mounted classes, while the Genealogy of the Holy War/Thracia 776/Radiant Dawn version possesses equal movement to its counterparts. The Sacred Stones/Awakening/Fates Great Knights are also very effective in melee combat, as they are able to use all three weapons in the weapon triangle; they can easily pick a weapon that is advantageous against the weapon they are facing.
