The Dragoon is a playable class in Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Legend of Ogre Battle Gaiden: Prince of Zenobia, and Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis. Dragoons are limited to a special class in both Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen and Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber.

The Dragoon is an elite warrior clad in dragon-like armor, from which is said they harness the might of dragons. They tend to favor spears and swords as their weapons of choice, to better slay their favored marks. Their expertise in draconology not only makes them better hunters, but also better tamers sometimes.

Notable groups include the Three Knights, said to live somewhere in Xenobia, and the Wyrmknights, a former knightly order from Galgastan.

Background[]

Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen[]

Dragoons, or dragon knights, possess the strength of a knight with the dragon handling capabilities of a dragon master. Considered the highest class of knight, the dragoon's power is said to be on par with the dragons they are named after. The legendary Three Knights were all dragoons.

The Dragoon has the appearance of a heavily armored warrior, wielding a two handed sword. A powerful front line fighter, the Dragoons are the among the strongest physical attackers in the game with three devastating front row attacks. When taking into account the three versions of Dragoon, this class also has the ability to recruit all the second tier dragons. The only characters capable of being Dragoons within the game are Slust, Fenril and Fogel.

Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis[]

Recruitable enemy Dragoons can also appear in the following locations:

  • Solea (Path A/B, Battle #10)
  • Haena (Path B, Battle #15)

Overview[]

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (SNES/PS)[]

  • Weapon of Choice: Sword.
  • Passive Skill: Dragon Slayer.

The Dragoon is a male only class. One of the three "advanced" melee classes in the game, at first glance the Dragoons may seem weaker than their counterparts the Swordmaster and Terror Knight, however they shine in combat against Dragons and Lizard Men due to their Dragon Slayer passive which grants them additional damage against both.

Stat-wise they have excellent growths in STR, DEX and HP, making them ideal frontliners, and unlike most melee classes they can also use Indirect-type attack magic (although they will need to cross-train with magic classes for it to be viable since the Dragoon's INT growth is very poor.)

Any Neutral Knights or intended tank units should typically be classed as Dragoons. This is also one of the recommended classes for a Neutral Denim.

Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis[]

  • Favored Weapon: Spears, Swords.
  • Favored Armor: Heavy Armor.

The Dragoon is a male-only class. They're one of best frontline classes thanks to their tankiness (comparable to the Knight's) and great damage potential. They're can also use Missile-type elemental spells, but their INT growths are so low that they might as well never use magic.

Their highlight is their dragon-killing passive, which increases the physical damage dealt to Dragon-type units and gives them a chance to deal Instant Death to them with basic attacks; the latter displays as a special 'finisher' attack animation. Untested: It may be possible that this only applies when equipping Swords or Spears.

Dragoons are one of the two classes specialized in Spears, which gives them three excellent weapon options by the late-game: the Zephyr, Longicolnis and Brionac (while weaker, has a chance of Instant Death on hit); this also makes them a prime candidate for Clotho, along with the Valkyrie and Hawkman. With swords they get even more options, like the Oracion and the potentially game-breaking Snapdragons; as for the Atropos skill, they're great candidates, but it may be better given to a Swordmaster or Knight.

Their only real downsides, besides terrible magic potential, are their low AGI growths, and requirements so high they're likely to become available as late as Chapter 3 (Winter) unless the player grinds constantly.

It's advised to have at least one or two Dragoons in the team, both for their tankiness and overall better performance compared to the Knight, and for their dragon-killing skills. This is also one of the recommended classes for Alphonse Loeher.
