Notes
- fireemblemwiki.org's Armored Knight page is a shared cross-game archetype page (also covers Three Houses etc.) with no FE18 numeric stat row. It does independently confirm two facts: the Japanese FW flavor text is 前線における頃もしい盾役 ("A reliable shield role on the front line"), and the playable character Goliath is listed with an Armored Knight promotion example for Fortune's Weave — corroborating Game8's Goliath path (Gladiator → Armored Knight → Dreadnought). promotesFrom/promotesTo are derived from Game8's "Best Classes for Each Character" recommended-path guide (which class chain each named character is suggested to follow), NOT a confirmed fixed lineage tree — per docs/research/classes.md §2–§3, Fortune's Weave gates class access by Level+Renown+weapon proficiency and a Certification Exam roll, not a strict one-parent promotion tree. Treat these links as "observed in at least one recommended path", not exhaustive or exclusive.
