Added the chariot mechanic on the Hannibal's Trial map; dated open gaps on exams and movement
11The Charioteer is a Specialty class in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Nintendo's dedicated presentation picked it as one of three examples of what the tier does, describing Charioteers as able to strike multiple enemies in a straight line. The unit fights from a chariot pulled by a pair of horses, which is why it counts as cavalry.22Profile44FieldValueTierSpecialtyUnit typeCavalryMountA chariot pulled by a pair of horsesProficiencyBow at minimumMovementNot publishedAttack patternStrikes multiple enemies in a straight line66Fighting in a Line88Hitting more than one enemy per attack is rare in this game. Only two published classes do it, and they do it differently: a Charioteer strikes along a straight line, while the Elephant Rider strikes the enemies in its path. That gives the Charioteer a reason to line up a shot down a corridor or a row of advancing units rather than to pick the nearest target.1010Counting as cavalry cuts both ways. Spears deal heavy damage to cavalry units in this game, and the Horsekiller Bow carries bonus damage against the same category, so a Charioteer is exposed to weapons that a foot unit shrugs off. Combat System covers positioning and counterattacks, and Weapons covers the per-type properties that take the place of a weapon triangle here.1212Benditz1414Benditz leads the Thundercloud Knights and is the one character shown in the class. He is playable, and he also stands as a chapter boss on two routes, which makes him a clean example of the way this game reuses clan leaders on both sides of a match.1616AppearanceDetailBoss against Ribeira WindsCai route, Part 1 Chapter 5, fighting as a CharioteerBoss against House LamineDietrich route, Part 1 Chapter 5PlayableShown as a Charioteer fighting alongside Leda1818The presentation used one of his matches to explain how a battle ends, with defeating the leader of the opposing side named as a victory condition. Benditz is the leader on screen while that rule is spelled out.1919Chariots in the Setting2121Chariots turn up outside the class as well. A commercial shows Tialla about to be run down by one before Dietrich cuts it in two, and another scene has Theodora slicing a chariot in half during Saramis's fight against Arago. None of those is a Charioteer unit in play; they are cutscene appearances of the same vehicle.2323Chariots also shape at least one battle map. In Hannibal's Trial, a Chapter 4 battle on Dietrich's path that is won by pulling every lever on the field, toppling pillars cuts down how far the enemy chariots can move. The boss of that path's early stretch, Hannibal, is himself listed as an Elephant Rider rather than a Charioteer.25+Certification2527As of September 2026, no exam requirements have been published for the Charioteer, or for any other Specialty class.
