The Dreadnought is an Advanced armored class introduced in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Its in-game description reads: "Thanks to thick armor, this heavy infantry class is like a sturdy wall defending allies." It counts as both Infantry and Armored, and it is the class Dietrich has been shown fighting in.
Field | Value |
|---|---|
Tier | Advanced |
Unit type | Infantry and Armored |
Movement | 4 |
Proficiencies | Heavy Armor, Axe, Lance |
Stat profile | High Defense |
Class skills | Combat Arts +2, Strike-Last Def +5, Focused Counter |
Japanese name | ヘヴィアーマー (Hevi āmā), Heavy Armor |
Four Movement is the lowest published figure of any Advanced class, which is the cost of the armor. The class trades reach for the ability to stand in a chokepoint and absorb what comes through it, and its skill set is written around being attacked rather than around opening an exchange.
Skill | How It Is Learned |
|---|---|
Combat Arts +2 | Innate |
Strike-Last Def +5 | Innate |
Focused Counter | Class mastery, at an unpublished class experience cost |
Two of the three are named for defending. Strike-Last Def +5 names the case where the unit strikes second, and Focused Counter carries the counterattack theme into the mastery slot. Combat Arts +2 attaches to Combat Arts, the stronger attacks that spend weapon durability, and it is shared with the Bardinger. Exact numerical effects beyond the +5 in the skill's own name have not been published.
Requirements read off the exam menus put the Dreadnought at Heavy Armor D as its primary requirement, with Axe B and Spear B as secondaries. That D is the lowest primary grade reported for any Advanced class, though the two B secondaries keep the overall bar high. Like every Advanced class shown so far it is also reported to want a Renown level of at least 8 and a recommended character level of 35, both provisional figures. The Soldier is the Beginner class that starts a unit on the Armor proficiency this class checks, and the mechanic is covered on Certification Exams.
The English and Japanese names describe the class differently. The Japanese name is ヘヴィアーマー, straightforwardly Heavy Armor; the English localisation went with Dreadnought instead, and no gloss has been published for that choice.
No base stats, growth rates or stat modifiers have been published for the Dreadnought. The movement value above is the only figure available, and every stat table for the class is currently empty. See Classes for the wider tier structure.
