Light Priestess

The Light Priestess is a combat and support magical class that first appeared in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.

History in the Series[]

The original iteration of the Shaman class was introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and employs Light magic and Staves as its equipment of choice. Julia's Shaman class promotes to Sage, while Deirdre cannot promote.

In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, the Shaman is referred to as the Sister and is able to employ all forms of Anima magic in addition to Light Magic and Staves. Both games' Shamans promote into Sages.

In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, it serves as the promoted form of the Light Sage class and as such the Light Priestess class is exclusive to Micaiah, wielding Light magic and Staves as its equipment of choice. This iteration functions as a stronger version of the Saint class used by some optional units.

Overview[]

Combat[]

This class is defined by very high figures in the Magic department, positing it as a very powerful magical class that is prolific in fulfilling both combat and support roles. Like Saints, the Light Priestess class is immune to Ashera's "Silence All" Judge attack in Radiant Dawn.

Trivia[]

• Curiously, promoting Shamans in Genealogy of the Holy War actually lowers one of their weapon ranks (their Light magic rank goes down to B from A). This is not noticeable in the actual gameplay, as both playable shamans have Major Naga holy blood, ensuring that they possess the highest Light Magic rank possible.
