Overview
Landsknechts engage the enemy directly on the front line, wielding a variety of arms and armor. In Etrian Odyssey, Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard and their respective remakes Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl and Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight, Landsknechts are well-balanced generalists whose skills can handle a variety of combat situations, with their claim to fame being their elemental Chaser skills that let them follow up on their allies' elemental attacks.
In Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan and Etrian Odyssey Nexus, Landsknechts take a significantly different approach to battle, becoming the leaders of combat as their kit is designed around striking first to improve the attacks of everyone going afterwards. Landsknechts of Tharsis are proficient with swords and rapiers, with their signature elemental skills becoming Link skills that first strike with an elemental hybrid attack and follow up whenever an ally makes any attack on the same enemy. A branch of their skill tree also lets them strike enemies with their shields to weaken the opposition.

Trivia
- Landsknecht ties with Medic for the most appearances in the series.
- The Landsknecht class received a refocus in Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan which was carried over to Etrian Odyssey Nexus, Etrian Mystery Dungeon and Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2, so it could be argued the class isn't the same in these games compared to the others.
- Real life Landsknechte were German mercenary foot soldiers active around the 1500s. They relied primarily on pike and arquebus formations, but also famously used zweihänder and katzbalger swords.
