Great Knight Class Guide for Three Hopes

Unlock the full potential of the Great Knight class in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes! Learn about its stats, abilities, and class action to dominate the battlefield.

Alright, let's dive into the Great Knight class in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes! This is a seriously beefy Master Class that's all about defense and hitting hard, especially with axes. Think of it as your frontline tank that can also dish out some serious pain.

Stats

The Great Knight gets some solid stat boosts. You're looking at a massive +800 HP, which is huge for survivability. They also get a +2 to STR and a +9 to DEF, making them tough to take down and good at dealing physical damage. The trade-off is a -3 to SPD, so they won't be the fastest units on the field, but honestly, who needs speed when you're this durable?

Fixed Abilities

These are abilities that come with the class and can't be changed. They're pretty defining for the Great Knight:

• Impregnable: This is awesome! It stops you from being knocked back when you use a strong attack. So, you can keep up the pressure without being interrupted.
• Lance Buster Lv 4: This is your anti-lance specialist ability. You get a greater advantage against lance users, dealing an extra 95% damage to them. Super useful if you're facing a lot of spear-wielding enemies.

Learnable Abilities and Arts

As you rank up, you'll unlock more abilities and arts that can really customize your Great Knight. Here are some highlights:

• 1-star: You'll get 'Armored Cavalry’s Ploy' to increase attack range, 'Armored Cavalry’s Wisdom' to deal damage based on your DEF, and two powerful axe arts: 'Armored Strike' and 'Armor Smash'. 'Armor Smash' even lowers enemy DEF temporarily, which is great for setting up your allies.
• 2-star: 'Def +10' is a straightforward boost. 'Lancebreaker' makes you even better against lances. 'Knucklebreaker' is interesting – it damages enemies when they hit you while you're guarding and reduces their STR. 'Luna' is a classic Fire Emblem ability that reduces enemy DEF based on your LCK, so keep that stat in mind!
• 3-star: 'Stalwart Stance' prevents knockback from common weapon types during attacks, stacking nicely with Impregnable. 'Defiant Def' is a lifesaver when you're low on HP, boosting your DEF by 20. 'Nullify Armored Effect' is situational but useful. Then you have the innate 3-star abilities: 'Ironclad', which is fantastic for blocking unblockable attacks, and 'Inspiring Agility', which lets you use dash attacks in any class – super handy for mobility!

Class Action

The Great Knight's Class Action is all about a powerful charge. You hold the button to charge up your Class Gauge, and when you release it, you charge forward. The longer you hold it, the stronger the charge and the more likely you are to break an enemy's guard. Plus, if you press and hold the button during a strong attack, you can actually reduce the charge time for your next Class Action. This lets you chain your powerful attacks more effectively!
