Sword General
| ||||||
|
The Sword General (Japanese:
Sword generals, as promoted classes, have quite high stats. As with most generals in the Fire Emblem series, they have high HP, strength, and defense, which is reflected in their thick armor. Unlike most physical units, Sword Generals have good resistance. However they have below average speed as well as lower movement than other promoted units. They are strong front-line units with an emphasis on defensive utility as well as some useful offensive strength.

In Radiant Dawn, all Japanese class names are spelled primarily in kanji (i.e. 剣武将), with a foreign-language name in katakana applied as furigana (i.e. ブレイドドゥクス) and used as the basis for the romanized name in the class roll. Dux is Latin for "commander" (later coming to mean "duke"). |
