The '''Halberdier''' (Japanese: {{ruby|{{hover|槍闘士|Sōtōshi}}|{{hover|ハルバーディア|Harubādia}}}} ''Halberdier'') is an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced]] infantry class introduced in {{FE9}}, appearing exclusively in it and {{title|Radiant Dawn}}. It is the [[class change|promoted]] class for [[Soldier]]s, and like its base form continues to exclusively wield [[Lance (weapon)|lances]]. In ''Radiant Dawn'', Halberdiers can promote again to the [[Sentinel]] class.

Like the Soldier as depicted in the Tellius duology, the Halberdier is roughly a lance counterpart for [[Swordmaster]]s, [[Sniper]]s and [[Warrior]]s. In comparison to these classes, Halberdiers lean more toward performing a bulky offensive role, sporting above-average [[defense]] and great [[strength]] in exchange for below-average [[speed]] compared to their counterparts. They have a strong front-line presence with their combination of decent power and durability, avoiding the frailty of Swordmasters or the sluggishness and low [[movement]] of [[General]]s.

Skill(s)

The Halberdier (Japanese: ハルバーディア Halberdier) is an advanced infantry class introduced in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, later appearing in Radiant Dawn and Engage. It is the promoted class for Soldiers, and like its base form continues to exclusively wield lances. In Radiant Dawn, Halberdiers can promote again to the Sentinel class. In Engage, the Halberdier instead promotes from the Lance Fighter.

Like the Soldier as depicted in the Tellius duology, the Halberdier is roughly a lance counterpart for Swordmasters, Snipers and Warriors. In comparison to these classes, Halberdiers lean more toward performing a bulky offensive role, sporting above-average defense and great strength in exchange for below-average speed compared to their counterparts. They have a strong front-line presence with their combination of decent power and durability, avoiding the frailty of Swordmasters or the sluggishness and low movement of Generals.

Japanese

Spanish

• Feminine variant of the former, used for female Halberdiers in Path of Radiance.
