The '''Soldier''' class is a class of [[lance (weapon)|lance]]-wielding foot soldiers that has appeared in most of the [[Fire Emblem (series)|Fire Emblem]] games, only absent in {{FE1}} and {{FE4}}. In most games they are an enemy-only class, and the only games in which they are playable are {{FE2}}, {{FE9}}, and {{FE10}}.
The '''Soldier''' (Japanese: {{hl|ソルジャー|Sorujā}} ''Soldier'') is a [[:Category:Base classes|basic]] lance-wielding infantry [[class]] which debuted in {{FE2}}, and is present in all {{FES}} games except {{title|Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light}}, {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}}, and {{title|Fates}}. In the majority of games Soldiers are an [[:Category:Enemy-exclusive classes|enemy- or NPC-only class]], and the class is playable only in ''Gaiden'', {{title|Path of Radiance}}, {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, {{title|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}, and {{title|Three Houses}}.


Soldiers are usually extremely weak and incompetent. They often have low stats all around and are easy to defeat. Still, playable soldiers usually are an exception to the rule, and soldiers in the three games in which they are playable are much better than those of other games. They use lances, making them physical attackers. Soldiers can hold out well in the front line of the player's army, since they are physical units.
When not a playable class, Soldiers are usually characterized as lowly and generic soldiers with no notable abilities, and so enemy Soldiers are typically weak and incompetent compared to other enemy units. They possess lower than average stats in every respect and, while easy to defeat, derive much of their strength from the sheer number of them often deployed. When a playable class, however, Soldiers are competent units on par with their infantry counterpart classes, the [[Myrmidon]] and [[Fighter]], and tend toward possessing higher defensive stats in exchange for [[speed]].


In ''Gaiden'', soldiers change class to [[armor]]s, which then change class to [[baron]]s. In ''Path of Radiance'', they change class to [[halberdier]]s. Finally, in ''Radiant Dawn'', they change class to [[halberdier]]s, which then change class to [[sentinel]]s.
In ''Gaiden'' and ''Shadows of Valentia'', the Soldier [[Class change|promotes]] to the [[Knight]], which in turn promotes to [[Baron]]. In {{title|Path of Radiance}} and {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, the Soldier gains a new promoted form, the [[Halberdier]], which in turn promotes to [[Sentinel (Radiant Dawn)|Sentinel]] in ''Radiant Dawn''.
 
In {{FE3}}, Soldiers tended to replace enemy Cavaliers, and Paladins from in Mystery's version of indoor chapters from the original {{FE1}}.
 
In {{FE4}}, the Soldier is an unused class, which also has four variants alongside it, which are also unused: [[Sword Soldier]], [[Spear Soldier]], [[Axe Soldier]], and [[Archer]].
 
In {{FE14}}, the [[Spear Fighter]] and [[Lancer]] classes appear to draw inspiration from Soldiers.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* There are no bosses in the whole series who are soldiers, probably because of soldiers' low stats.
* Owing to their typical lowly status relative to other classes, Soldiers are rarely seen as bosses; the only Soldier to serve as a primary boss in the {{FES}} to date outside of [[skirmish]] situations is the [[Risen Chief]] of [[A Strangled Peace|paralogue 3]] in {{title|Awakening}}.
