Learn how to best utilize the Knight class in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, and promotion options to dominate the battlefield.
The Knight is a Nohrian unit that's all about heavy armor and slow, steady progress. While they might not be the fastest on the battlefield, their incredible Defense makes them fantastic for drawing enemy attacks and protecting your squishier units. Think of them as your frontline shield!
Here's a breakdown of their stats and what makes them tick:
| Stat | Growth Rate |
| Health | 20% |
| Strength | 20% |
| Magic | 0% |
| Skill | 15% |
| Speed | 5% |
| Luck | 10% |
| Defense | 20% |
| Resistance | 0% |
When it comes to weapons, Knights are proficient with Lances and the Naginata, giving them some solid offensive options. They also come with two useful skills:
| Skill | Effect |
| Defense+2 | Increases Defense by +2 points |
| Natural Cover | When the unit is fighting in a terrain that has additional effects, damage received is reduced by -3 points |
The Knight's biggest drawback is their movement – they only move five tiles, which is pretty slow. However, their high Defense means you can use them to bait melee enemies into attacking them, letting you counter-attack safely. They're also great for pairing up in guard stance to give a weaker ally a serious Defense boost.
The 'Natural Cover' skill is a real lifesaver on maps with hazardous terrain, like those that inflict damage over time. It gives you that little bit of extra survivability when you need it most. While the Knight might be a bit niche, mastering their strengths makes them an invaluable asset to your army.
When you're ready to take your Knight to the next level, they can promote into either a General or a Great Knight, both of which offer even more powerful skills and combat capabilities.
