Spear Soldier
From Fire Emblem Wiki, your source on Fire Emblem information. By fans, for fans.
The Spear Soldier (Japanese: スピアソルジャーSpear Soldier) is a class that has never made an official appearance in the Fire Emblem series—Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, the only time it appeared in a game's coding, had the Spear Soldier class go unused.
The Spear Soldier would have been one of a number of variants of the similarly-unused Soldier class, others of which include the Sword Soldier, Axe Soldier, and Archer, all of which also went unused; as its name implies, the Spear Soldier would have been a lance-wielding variant capable of wielding stronger lances than the Soldier, which is a closer lance-wielding variant to the other variants.
See class growth rate for more details on the mechanics of class growths in each game.
Class change
The class a unit changes into in Genealogy of the Holy War is determined by the unit and not the class; however, no units change into or out of the Spear Soldier class.
