Cavalier Class in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes

Cavaliers are mounted warriors that boast very good movement, only outclassed by Pegasus Knights, in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. This allows them to easily cut off the escape routes of enemies or halt advances. Cavaliers are also excellent at taking out ranged attackers thanks to their exceptional mobility. They are not, however, effective against strong melee units because of their average combat performance.

Cavaliers are mostly noted for their movement, all other stats being average or subpar. They are good at picking off low HP units such as Archers or Mages when the enemy has not yet set up their formations. Pitting them against Brigands and other units of similar strength, however, is not advised.
