Wyvern Rider

Learn about the Wyvern Rider class in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest! Discover its strengths, weaknesses, growth rates, skills, and promotion options.

Alright, let's talk about the Wyvern Rider class in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest! These guys are your Nohrian answer to flying units, but instead of pegasi, they're riding fearsome wyverns. They're built like tanks, hitting hard with high Strength and Defense, though they're not so keen on magic or bows.

Think of them as the melee powerhouses of the sky. They'll be using Clubs and Axes, which can sometimes lead to accuracy issues, but when they connect, they hit like a truck. Plus, their upgrade paths are pretty unique, only available to them, which makes them stand out.

Stats and Growth Rates:

As you can see, their Defense growth is their highest, followed by Strength. They're not going to be dodging many hits, but they can certainly take 'em and dish out some serious damage in return. Just keep them away from magic users and archers!

Skills:

• Strength+2 — Increases the unit’s strength by +2 points. This is a solid passive skill that just boosts their already good Strength.
• Lunge — Grants use of the “Lunge” command which, after attacking an enemy, the unit switches places with them. This skill is super useful! You can use it to pull an enemy right into the middle of your army, isolating them for your other units to take down. Or, if you've got a powerful enemy surrounded, you can use Lunge to swap places and pull them away from their buddies.

Promotes to:

• Wyvern Lord
• Malig Knight

The promotion options are great, giving you flexibility depending on what you need. Both paths offer powerful advantages, so it's worth considering what your army needs most when the time comes.
