Paladin: Advanced Classes 2

Learn about the Paladin advanced class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, including its stat growths, weapon proficiencies, and unique skills like Defender and Aegis.

Alright, let's talk about the Paladin class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! Think of them as the ultimate knights – super honorable and way more experienced than your basic Cavalier. They're a really solid choice if you're looking for a unit that can both dish out and take some hits.

Here's a quick rundown of their stat growths:

As you can see, they lean more towards physical stats, which is pretty standard for a knight class. They're not going to be your magic nukers, but they can definitely hold their own in a fight.

When it comes to weapons, Paladins are pretty versatile:

So, they can use both swords and lances, giving you some good options in combat. Now, let's look at their special skills:

Defender is a really neat skill. If you pair up your Paladin with another unit and have them in attack stance, they get a little extra boost to all their stats. This makes them even tankier, which is awesome for protecting your other units. Just remember that units in guard stance can't attack, so you'll need to balance that out.

Aegis is a bit more luck-based, but it can be a lifesaver! It gives your Paladin a chance to halve incoming damage from bows, magic, daggers, and dragonstones. This is super helpful for making sure your Paladin doesn't get overwhelmed, especially if you're using them to tank hits from magic users or archers. It's definitely a skill worth grabbing, even if you plan to reclass your unit later.

One of the biggest advantages of the Paladin class is their mounted movement. They can cover a lot of ground on the battlefield, which is fantastic for positioning and responding to threats quickly. They're a really well-rounded class that can be a huge asset to your army!
