Armored Lance

It has been proposed that this page be merged into Knight. Please discuss this change on the talk page. Reason: The Axe Fighter is considered the same as the fighter, and these names are more similar than those

Armored Lance An enemy Armored Lance in Radiant Dawn. Heavily armored knights who dominate battlefields with their powerful lances.

Unit type(s) Armored Weapon(s) Lance Skill(s) Shove (Radiant Dawn)

The Armored Lance (Japanese: 槍重装兵ランスアーマー Lance Armor) is a basic armored class debuting in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. It is one of four weapon-specific variations of the Knight, specialising in the use of lances, and appears only in Thracia 776 and Radiant Dawn; in Genealogy of the Holy War, the Knight class itself filled its role as the basic lance-wielding armored class. It is statistically near-identical to its counterparts, the Armored Axe, Armored Sword and Bow Armor.

It is not playable in either of its appearances, and as such is not tied to a class change line; in Radiant Dawn, the lance-specific Lance General would be its hypothetical class-changed form and does have two playable members.
