Lord

Lord is a reoccurring class in the Fire Emblem series, notably given to the main character of royal blood. The class varies heavily throughout the series.

in Blazing Sword
The class varies heavily in this game, as there are three different playable lords, Lyn, Eliwood and Hector. At the start of the game, only Lyn is the playable lord, who wields swords and boasts high speed and critical hit rates, much like a Myrmidon. Eliwood's variant is arguably all-round, and also wields swords. Hector's is unique in which it is the only axe-using lord class in the series as a whole. It has high attack and defense but low speed, which acts a bit like a modified Knight, minus the MOV penalty.

Promotes to Blade Lord (Lyn), Knight Lord (Eliwood), and Great Lord (Hector).

in The Sacred Stones
The class is split between the two main characters, Eirika and Ephraim. Eirika uses swords and has good speed, while Ephriam uses lances.

in Awakening
The class is shared between Chrom and Lucina, which differ aesthetically but have the same skill gains and promotions. Swords-only.

Skills: Charm, Aether. Promotes to Great Lord
