The Hunter is one of the five Beginner classes in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. It is a light infantry class that switches between a sword and a bow, and its published description sets it out as a warrior stalking prey on the battlefield, strong in Dexterity and Speed.

Role in Battle
Two weapon types on a Beginner class is unusual, and it is the whole point of the Hunter. A bow gives it reach and an answer to fliers; a sword gives it something to do when an enemy closes to melee range, which a pure bow user cannot manage. The Dexterity and Speed lean pushes it toward hitting often and following up rather than trading heavy blows, and there is no defensive padding to go with it.
Sword and Bow are also the two proficiencies that feed the Infantry training group, so a Hunter builds toward the sword-and-bow classes further up the ladder. The Rogue and Archer classes in the Specialty tier and the Forest Knight and Sniper classes in the Advanced tier all sit in that direction. Reaching any of them means passing a certification exam.
Name
This entry uses the kanji form 猟兵 (Ryōhei) for the class, which reads literally as hunting soldier and matches the way European armies have used the word Hunter as a designation for light infantry. The English flavour text has not been shown for this game.
