Editing Fire Emblem (section)

=== Cavalier>Paladin === 
Mounted knight, classically promotes to paladin.  Typically are excellent bread-and-butter units with well-rounded stats, high mobility, good equipment selection, and, in later games, the ability to spend any remaining movement after ending their turn with a non-attack action. (Or, later still, even after an attack action!) Their many strengths are kept in check by taking greater movement penalties in rough terrain and complete inability to pass through super-rough terrain like mountains, plus the odd anti-horse weapon that can fuck them up from here to ''Advance Wars''. Some games also give them penalties for indoor maps.  

This set of classes has two recurring archetypes associated with it: first, a pair of cavaliers, one red and one green, with red usually being serious or hotheaded and green usually being laid-back or restrained, tend to join early in most games. This duo is known known as Cain and Abel after the pair from the original game; a few later titles played around with this, such as inverting the personality/color dynamic, ''Awakening'' making one of them female, and ''Fates'' instead using the archetype for a pair of (unmounted) ninja brothers. Second, an old Paladin that has great stats early game but terrible growth rates that cause him to fall off later tends to join early game with a goal of helping you survive early levels but potentially stealing experience from units that need it if used carelessly. This character is known as a Jeigan, a spelling that persists in fandom even though the character has been officially romanized as Jagen since the release of ''Shadow Dragon''. Some later games instead make this character usable all game long if properly handled, this variation is known as the Oifey.

In ''Cipher'', all cavaliers get movement bonuses.  Cain and Abel archetypes get combo bonuses from both being on the field at the same time as their counterparts. Jeigan archetypes have good stats but suffer from penalties like being unable to move or not being usable as a Bond.
