Learn about the Sky Knight class in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! Discover its strengths, weaknesses, growth rates, skills, and promotion options to make the most of this flying unit.

Alright, let's talk about the Sky Knight in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! This is a Hoshidan class where your unit rides a pegasus into battle. They're supposed to be good at Speed and Defense, but we'll see how that actually shakes out.

Here's a look at their growth rates:

As you can see, the Health, Strength, and Defense growths are pretty rough. Honestly, they tend to have better Resistance than Defense, which is a bit of a surprise given the description. But here's the real kicker for why this class is actually pretty great: they fly! This means they completely ignore most terrain effects, which is huge. Think about it – no more getting bogged down by forests or mountains. Plus, they have really high movement. This makes them fantastic for getting your heavy hitters across the map quickly, acting as a mobile ferry. At their best, they can be versatile attackers leading the charge.

When it comes to weapons, Sky Knights can use:

They also come with a couple of skills:

Darting Blow is actually pretty useful here. It gives them a nice speed boost when they attack first, helping them keep up with faster enemies and avoid getting doubled by tougher foes. This can offset the speed reduction you sometimes get from stronger weapons, like the Steel Naginata.

A Sky Knight can promote into either a Falcon Knight or a Kinshi Knight. Keep these options in mind as you develop your unit!
