Units in Fire Emblem 6

A master list of units featured in the game Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi.

Tier 1 Units

Lord

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Swords	To: Master Lord
This is Roy's class, who is the only character who has this class. In this game, he can only use swords. This class is not especially versatile, due to stats that are only above average and a limited move range. Characters: Roy

Archer

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Bows	To: Sniper
Archers are non-mounted units that can use Bows and Arrows to attack. Unlike the Nomads, Archers have a higher attack and skill due to their ability to aim from solid ground. As with all bow users, Archers can only attack from a distance. When attacked at close range, Archers cannot counter attack. Characters: Wolt and Dorothy

Brigand

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Axes	To: Berserker
Brigands are axe-users that are effectively a counterpart to Pirates, only they can cross mountains and small amounts of water. This class is usually only used for enemies in subsequent games. Characters: Gonzales

Cavalier

From: None	Move: 7	Weapons: Swords, Spears	To: Paladin
Cavaliers are versatile characters that are mounted on horses and specialize in spears and swords. This allows them to move great distances, carry most units, and generally be equipped for most types of foes. Characters: Alan, Lance, Treck, and Noah

Cleric

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Staves	To: Bishop
Clerics are the only Tier 1 Units besides Troubadours that can use staves. Unlike most magic, staves have various ability, the most notable being the ability to heal. Other staves such as Sleep, Unlock, Torch, and others can also be used. Because they cannot fight, Clerics level up only by using their staves. Characters: Ellen and Saul

Fighter

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Axes	To: Warrior
Fighters are strong axe-users noted for their high HP and strength. Although they are largely ineffective against sword-users, they are especially effective against Knights and Soldiers. Characters: Ward and Lot

Knight

From: None	Move: 4	Weapons: Spears	To: General
Knights are heavy units that wear thick armor that cause weak attacks to bounce off with no damage. The side effect to this armor is that they are slow-moving and it takes longer for these units to reach the battle. If all three knights are deployed, they can perform a triangle attack on enemies. Characters: Bors, Wendy, and Barth

Mage

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Anima	To: Sage
Mages are one of the more common magical classes that use the powerful Anima magic. Like all magic-users, magic can be used in close range or long range, making them very versatile when dealing with physical fighters. Characters: Lugh, Lilina, and Hugh

Mercenary

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Swords	To: Hero
Mercenaries are sword users with good constitution and skill. Their generally high speed makes them good at double attacks, especially against axe-users that are generally slower than Mercenaries. Characters: Dieck and Oujay

Nomad

From: None	Move: 7	Weapons: Bows	To: Nomadic Trooper
Nomads are mounted units that grow up learning to ride horses to the point they can fire arrows with precision from atop their mounts. Although they are not as strong as archers, Nomads tend to be quicker and able to use their higher movement to attack and retreat. As with all bow users, Nomads cannot counter against close range attacks. Characters: Sue and Shin

Pegasus Knight

From: None	Move: 7	Weapons: Spears	To: Berserker
Pegasus Knights are special units that ride flying Pegasii that allow them to effortlessly fly over any obstacle. Although they are not especially strong, they have strong resistance to magic and are ideal for transporting units. However Pegasus Knights are especially weak to archers and can be quickly shot down. When all three are used together, they can perform a triangle attack. Characters: Thany, Thito, and Yuno

Pirate

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Axe	To: Berserker
Pirates are the only non-flying Tier 1 class that can cross oceans, making them especially effective on maps where bridges can cause choke points for other units. They are basically the counterpart to the Bandit class. Characters: Geese

Shaman

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: Dark Magic	To: Hero
Shamans are practitioners of Dark Magic, which is extremely effective against Anima-using mages. Although Shamans have powerful attacks, they tend to move slowly and have a low level of accuracy with their attacks. Characters: Ray and Sophia

Thief

From: None	Move: 6	Weapons: Sword	To: None
Thieves are speedy units thats are capable of using Picklocks to open doors and chests. They can also steal non-weapon items from other units, so long as their own inventory isn't full. The thief is one of the few units that can't be promoted, but their high speed makes it easy for them to dodge attacks. Characters: Chad, Astol, and Cath

Transporter

From: None	Move: 5	Weapons: None	To: None	File:FEA-Transporter.gif
Transporter is Merlinus's unique class. The unit has no offensive abilities, but can access the party's inventory of items and trade with other units. Units adjacent to the Transporter can also use the inventory to withdraw and deposit items as well. Because the Transporter has no offensive abilities, Merlinus can only level up by surviving 100 attack per level. Characters: Merlinus

Troubadour

From: None	Move: 7	Weapons: Staves	To: Valkyrie
Troubadours are much like Clerics, only mounted on horses to allow for additional range. They are able to use Staves that, among other uses, are used primarily for healing allied units. Because Troubadours cannot attack, they can only level up by continuously healing injured allies. Characters: Clarine

Wyvern Rider

From: None	Move: 7	Weapons: Spears	To: Hero
Wyvern Riders are powerful units that have the ability to fly like Pegasus Knights but the durability of Cavaliers. Wyvern Riders are especially strong units, but still share the weakness to bows that Pegasus Knights do. Characters: Miledy and Zeiss
