They are one of four classes, the Sword Knight, [[Lance Knight]], [[Axe Knight]], and [[Bow Knight]] classes, which are divisions of the [[Cavalier]] class. They are playable only in {{title|Path of Radiance}}, and there are no playable sword knights in {{title|Radiant Dawn}}.
The '''Sword Knight''' or '''Sword Cavalier''' (Japanese: {{hl|ソードナイト|Sōdonaito}} ''Sword Knight'') is a class of [[sword]]-wielding knights on horseback which has appeared in {{FE9}}, {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, and {{title|Engage}}. It is one of four classes, the Sword Knight, [[Lance Knight]], [[Axe Knight]], and [[Bow Knight]], which are divisions of the [[Cavalier]] class. The Sword Knight is playable only in {{title|Path of Radiance}} and ''Engage'', and there are no playable sword knights in ''Radiant Dawn''.


Sword knights use swords, so they can attack from adjacent spaces. They have useful stats in all categories, and their high movement lets them move around quickly, although they cannot cross certain terrain. Since they have low [[resistance]], like other physical classes, they are often vulnerable to magic-using enemies.
