The Apothecary (Japanese: 薬商人 Kusuri Syounin) is a base infantry class debuting in Fire Emblem Fates. The class exclusively wields yumi, and while it possesses lower skill and speed than typical bow-only classes, it makes up for it with its higher strength and survivability.

Units in this class may promote to either Merchant or Mechanist.
