They originally wielded lances and swords, being able to use swords only when [[dismount]]ed into a [[Knight (Mystery of the Emblem)|Knight]] in {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}. The [[Nintendo DS]] remakes changed this to have them wield [[Lance (weapon)|lance]]s and [[axe]]s, in order to differentiate the class from the [[Falcoknight]], the new alternative Pegasus Knight promotion option. This change was also reflected in how the only recruitable Dracoknight, [[Minerva]], was made to specialize in axes and came with the strongest axe, [[Hauteclere]]. | In {{title|Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light}}, {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, {{title|Shadow Dragon}}, {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}, and {{title|Three Houses}}, the Wyvern Rider/Dracoknight is an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced class]], in the former four games being the promoted form of the [[Pegasus Knight]].

Dracoknights break from the Pegasus Knight's nimble frailty in favor of being bulky and powerful. They have high [[strength]] and [[defense]], while still keeping decent [[skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]] and the traditional high [[movement|mobility]] of a flying class. In comparison, Dracoknights suffer from particularly low [[resistance]], to the point that promoting from Pegasus Knight to Dracoknight even specifically lowers a unit's once-formidable resistance. They share the traditional flier's [[bonus damage|weakness]] to [[bow]]s and wind-based [[tome]]s such as [[Shaver]], with these tomes being particularly lethal against Dracoknights due to their | Dracoknights break from the Pegasus Knight's nimble frailty in favor of being bulky and powerful.

In other games, Wyvern Riders/Dracoknights are instead a [[:Category:Base classes|based class]], being the basic form of a new class family independent from the [[Pegasus Knight]]. The class's primary weapon of choice was [[Lance (weapon)|lances]] until {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, when they instead began primarily wielding [[axe]]s; in ''Genealogy'' and {{title|Thracia 776}}, they could also wield [[sword]]s. | In other games, Wyvern Riders/Dracoknights are instead a [[:Category:Base classes|based class]], being the basic form of a new class family independent from the [[Pegasus Knight]].

When a base class, | When a base class, the Wyvern Rider acts as a statistical counterpoint to the Pegasus Knight: whereas its pegasus-riding cousin is fast and frail, the Wyvern Rider is oriented in a bulky, powerful manner. Their [[strength]] and [[defense]] are both high, with lesser [[skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]] compared to Pegasus Knights, and they share the same high movement and access to [[Canto]] as Pegasus Knights and other mounted classes. However, their [[resistance]] is abysmal even compared to other physical classes. They also share the Pegasus Knight family's weakness to [[bow]]s and [[wind (magic)|wind magic]], in addition to their own weakness to weapons designed to be effective against dragons. | ||
In almost all of its appearances, Wyvern Riders [[class change|change class]] to become [[Wyvern Lord]]s. The biggest exception is {{FE5}}, in which the Wyvern Rider is instead the promoted class of the [[Dragon Rider]]. {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, {{title|Awakening}}, and {{title|Fates}} also introduce alternate promotion options for Wyvern Riders which can be chosen instead of the Wyvern Lord: ''The Sacred Stones'' allows them to instead become [[Wyvern Knight]]s, ''Awakening'' allows them to promote to [[Griffon Rider]]s, and ''Fates'' allows them to promote to the newly-introduced [[Malig Knight]] class. | In almost all of its appearances, Wyvern Riders [[class change|change class]] to become [[Wyvern Lord]]s.
