so, let me collect some links here... (as in, I read them and list them here to remember I've read it) :
 * http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Heavy_Knight - the ArcheClass page
 * http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Armor_Knight - the DD2 class
 * http://disgaea.us/d4/chara/juukisi.html - D4 guy heavy knights
 * http://disgaea.us/dis_d2/character/armor_knight.html DD2 girl armor knights
 * http://disgaea.jp/5/html/character/knight.html - D5 girl armor knight

making extreme use of jim breen's excellent site: class name - 重騎土 - putting these 3 into JB returns only " 重騎兵 【じゅうきへい】 (n) heavy cavalry" (that 3rd kanji is different) 鉄壁の守りを誇る鋼の騎土. 高い防御力で仲間を守ることができる. 得意武器で槍. super-terrible super-literal translation!: Iron wall's protection (direct obj) boasts steel's knight. Tall(/great/much) defensive power of/for companions (direct obj) protection-thing allows. One's strong point weapon is spear. The armor/steel knight boasts protection of walls of iron. This protection allows them lots of defensive power for their companions. Their preferred weapon is the spear.

【固有魔ビリティー】 - Native Evility (hilariously, the 'vility' part is spelled in katakana, with the most complicated kanji like idk ever for the 'e' part, which means 'demon' or 'evil influence' and is read as 'ma', not 'e' anyway. Oh, Japanese.) 英雄の盾 - Heroine's Shield (?) (context says this is the name of the Evility) (防御時、　味方ユニットが致死ダメージを受けそうな場合、　それをかぼう. ) defense time, friendly unit (subj) damage receive in-the-case-of, that thing 'kabou'. - The only thing JB says about 'kabou' is 'fire protection' - 【かぼう(火防)】, which ... I guess it could mean that?? and 10 minutes of googling hasn't given me anything useful either. It 'should' be a verb, but... i've tried to look up 'jump', 'leap', similar synonyms, nothing. So either this is "when a friendly unit dies from taking damage, leap to that spot" or "when a friendly unit takes enough damage that they would have died, give them Fire Resistance buff." So.............. yeah. (oh, possibly: 'when friendly unit takes lethal damage, redirect damage to self'. the JP doesn't really say anything about 'self' in there, but... friggin verb, why u no exist on the intarwebz where I can look you up? and/or does it really mean 'cast fire protection when an ally dies', because that's kind of a douche thing to do, armor knight, just saying... "my ally is dead, I guess I should make myself more resistant to fire!")

Now I have a headache from looking at some tiny-butt complex kanji : <. Thanks, JP D5 site, for putting all your words in image format, and not some text I could throw through Google Translate or JB or something. ;_;.

So. I see what you mean. What about this: Let's group girl-armor class-game into guy-heavy archeclass for now, based on the 'girls are taking over' line; and if, in the future, a game comes out where both exist at the same time... we can split the girl-armor out into their own archeclass. Or not, and just have 2 classes in the same archclass...? idk. basically, 'cross that bridge later.' (Leave it to Disgaea to insert subtle social commentary. lulz.)
