Notes

Both fireemblemwiki.org and Fandom's generic "Guardian" pages describe an unrelated older enemy-only Terror/armoured-knight class from Mystery of the Emblem / Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Neither mentions Fortune's Weave, so neither is a source for this game's Guardian class; Guardian here (Advanced, Spear B, White-Magic Seeker + Magic Heal +10) is only documented on Game8.

Community tier

A (fireemblemfortunesweave.wiki pre-release tier list (6 August 2026)). white magic plus spears gives healing plus a cavalry counter
