Myrmidons are a sword-wielding class present in Fire Emblem. Their first appearance was in Template:FEG; the only games where they do not exist are Template:FEARHT and Template:FEMN. However, the remakes of these two games do contain myrmidons.

Their defense and initial strength are lower than those of mercenaries, another sword-using class. To counter this, myrmidons focus more in skill and speed, making critical hits their trademark; in some games, there are unique swords with higher critical rate that can be wielded only by this class (such as the Wo Dao and the Shamshir) and its promotions.

Myrmidons, in most games, can be promoted to swordmasters. Special cases are seen in Gaiden and The Sacred Stones; in the first, myrmidons are a second-tier class and can be promoted to demon fighters, while in the GBA game they can be promoted either to swordmasters or assassins.

In the GBA games and in Seisen no Keifu, myrmidons come from specific kingdoms or lands. In Tellius and Archanea, however, they can come from any land.
