The Blacksmith (Japanese: 鍛冶 Kaji) is an advanced class exclusive to Fire Emblem Fates and aligned with Hoshido. One of two potential promotions of the Oni Savage, the Blacksmith is adept at wielding katanas in addition to the clubs they'd wielded before. In contrast with the Oni Chieftain and their unpromoted form, Blacksmiths have greater skill, which makes them somewhat more effective at landing blows, at the cost of slightly lesser strength, defense, and resistance.
