Malig Knight

Learn about the Malig Knight class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, including its stat growths, weapon types, skills like Savage Blow and Trample, and its overall effectiveness.

The Malig Knight, also known as the Revenant Knight, is a Nohrian advanced class that specializes in taming evil dragons. They crush foes using a combination of axes and tomes. While they aim for a balanced offensive presence, many units tend to lean more towards physical or magical attacks, making it tricky to effectively utilize both aspects of the class.

Here's a breakdown of the Malig Knight's characteristics:

The Malig Knight class itself can be difficult to master due to its focus on both physical and magical offense. For instance, Camilla, a prominent Malig Knight, often performs better with axes than tomes due to her lower magic stat, despite the class's ability to use both. However, the skills associated with this class are incredibly powerful. Savage Blow is a potent skill that weakens surrounding enemies significantly, and it's particularly frustrating to face when an opponent possesses it. Trample offers a valuable damage boost against non-mounted enemies, stacking with other damage-increasing skills. Both skills are excellent for maximizing offensive output and are highly recommended for any unit that can acquire them. If you're looking for a more physically focused advanced class, the Wyvern Lord is often a more straightforward choice over the Malig Knight.
