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 [[Cutting Gale]], with these tomes being particularly lethal against Dracoknights due to their poor resistance.

In other games, Wyvern Riders/Dracoknights are instead a [[:Category:Base classes|base 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.

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]], in addition to their own weakness to weapons designed to be effective against dragons.
