The '''Mage Knight''' (Japanese: {{hl|マージナイト|Mājinaito}} ''Mageknight'') is an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced]] mounted [[class]] which debuted in {{FE4}}. It is the first class in the {{FES}} to wield both physical weapons and magic in combination: in its case, it can wield [[sword]]s and all three types of [[Anima (magic)|anima magic]] in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' and {{title|Thracia 776}}. In its third and final appearance in {{FE8}}, however, the Mage Knight is a pure magical class, wielding anima and [[Staff|staves]]. The Mage Knight is a [[class change]] option for [[Mage]]s in all three of its appearances; it is also an option for [[Troubadour]]s in ''The Sacred Stones''.

In its third appearance in {{FE8}}, however, the Mage Knight is a pure magical class, wielding anima and [[Staff|staves]]. After a 19 year absence, the Mage Knight makes a return in {{FE17}}, functioning similarly to their portrayal in the Jugdral duology, with [[lance]] and [[axe]]-wielding variations introduced alongside the returning sword variation. The Mage Knight is a [[class change]] option for [[Mage]]s in all of its appearances; it is also an option for [[Troubadour]]s in ''The Sacred Stones''.


As expected of a mixed-weaponry class, the [[Jugdral]] incarnation of the Mage Knight 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. It also possesses unusually high [[defense]] for a magical unit. As a mounted class, in {{title|Thracia 776}} they are capable of [[dismount]]ing and are forced to do so for indoor terrain, and unlike most dismounted units will not lose access to any of their weapons. The version of the Mage Knight in ''The Sacred Stones'' fits into a more standard magical unit mold.

In {{title|Awakening}}, a class functionally identical to the Jugdral version of the Mage Knight was introduced, known as the [[Dark Knight]].

Mage Knight

FESK Mage Knight.png
Artwork of the Mage Knight from the Fire Emblem Trading Card Game.

Magic knights who cast spells from horseback, but can also take part in melee combat.

Unit type(s)
  • Mounted (all titles)
  • Infantry (replaces Mounted when dismounted; Thracia 776)
Weapon(s)
Skill(s)
  • Canto (Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, The Sacred Stones)
  • Chaos Style (Engage)

The Mage Knight (Japanese: マージナイト Mageknight) is an advanced mounted class which debuted in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. It is the first class in the Fire Emblem series to wield both physical weapons and magic in combination: in its case, it can wield swords and all three types of anima magic in Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776. In its third appearance in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, however, the Mage Knight is a pure magical class, wielding anima and staves. After a 19 year absence, the Mage Knight makes a return in Fire Emblem Engage, functioning similarly to their portrayal in the Jugdral duology, with lance and axe-wielding variations introduced alongside the returning sword variation. The Mage Knight is a class change option for Mages in all of its appearances; it is also an option for Troubadours in The Sacred Stones.

As expected of a mixed-weaponry class, the Jugdral and Engage incarnations of the Mage Knight 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. It also possesses unusually high defense for a magical unit. As a mounted class, in Thracia 776 they are capable of dismounting and are forced to do so for indoor terrain, and unlike most dismounted units will not lose access to any of their weapons. The version of the Mage Knight in The Sacred Stones fits into a more standard magical unit mold.

In Awakening, a class similar to the Jugdral version of the Mage Knight was introduced, known as the Dark Knight.

Trivia

  • In The Sacred Stones's entry on the Nintendo website in 2005, it was erroneously claimed that the Mage Knight as it appeared in said game was capable of using both "weapons and magic" as it did prior to The Sacred Stones.[1]
  • The Mage Knight's German name, "Warlock", is also the Italian name of the Sorcerer.
