The Lance General (Japanese: 槍武将グローリードゥクス Glory Dux) is a class that appears only in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It is a promoted Armor Lance in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, with higher stats and the ability to use axes in addition lances. Lance generals can change to the Marshall class under certain conditions.

They have quite high stats, and have unusually high resistance for a physical unit. Other units have higher speed, but lance generals excel in defense, and have useful values in other stats. However, like other armored units, they are weak to certain weapons, such as Hammers or Armorslayers.

English

Lance General

Abbreviated to Lance Gen in gameplay due to space restrictions.

Japanese

槍武将グローリードゥクス

Officially romanized as Glory Dux; literally "spear general". In Radiant Dawn, all Japanese class names are spelled primarily in kanji (i.e. 槍武将), with a foreign-language name in katakana applied as furigana (i.e. グローリードゥクス) and used as the basis for the romanized name in the class roll. Dux is Latin for "commander" (later coming to mean "duke").
