(Japanese: マージファイター Mage Fighter) is an advanced class exclusive to Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Along with the Mage Knight, it is one of the first classes in the Fire Emblem series to be able to wield both magic and physical weapons, possessing access to swords as well as fire, thunder, and wind magic; additionally, female Mage Fighters can use staves. It is the promoted class for Thunder Mages, Wind Mages and female Mages, with male Mages instead becoming Mage Knights.

As a mixed-weaponry class, the Mage Fighter is unique in its balanced status; while not possessing the same sheer strength in both types as a pure-physical or pure-magical unit, it is competent in both fields. Its stats skew further toward the magical side than the physical, possessing on average better magic and resistance than its strength and defense, though in this respect its magic and resistance are still inferior to the pure magical classes, such as the Sage and High Priest. Compared to the Mage Knight, it is crippled by its lesser movement, particularly given the vast nature of the maps of Genealogy of the Holy War and thus the demand for units with higher movement.

Mage Fighters are entirely absent from Genealogy of the Holy War's successor, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Presumably, the fact that Mage Knights can now dismount and temporarily act as infantry units rendered the Mage Fighter redundant.

Mage Hero

Used in the most recent iteration of the Genealogy of the Holy War fan translation; the provided rationale is to rename the class after another class that can use swords (Hero), as opposed to it sharing the name of one which cannot (Fighter).
