Maria has a [[weapon level]] of 8, which is high enough to use every [[staff]] in the game. This single-handedly gives Maria enough utility to justify using her, as certain staves are extremely useful, such as [[Warp]] and [[Physic]]. Unfortunately, Maria has many other weaknesses that limit her potential. She has a [[speed]] of 2, with a growth of 20%, meaning she will probably get doubled by any enemy she goes up against. Her [[defense]] is a very low 4 with a growth of 0%, which—when you factor in her low speed, her 19 max HP with a 0% growth, and the fact she only has an avoid of 2 before terrain bonuses—means she will likely die against any enemy she comes up against. These weaknesses can be improved by [[Class change|promoting]] to [[Bishop]], which additionally allows her to use [[tome]]s. Unfortunately, the only way for Maria to gain experience is to survive combat, which is very hard considering her terrible durability. She only starts at level 3, so she needs to gain 7 levels to reach the promotion threshold, and she joins too late in the game to take advantage of weaker enemies in the earlier levels. Additionally, the [[Bishop's Ring]] needed to promote her can't be obtained until [[Manakete Princess|Chapter 19]], so she can't take advantage of the benefits of promotion for most of the game. Still, being able to use every staff gives her enough utility to justify using if you feel you need another staff-user. | ||

Maria joins as a level 3 [[Cleric]] in Chapter 10, at the halfway point of ''Shadow Dragon''. Her base stats are low, aside from a relatively high resistance stat, and her level is also low, requiring seven more to promote. Her growth rates except for luck and resistance are also low, so she will not gain many stats from the level-ups she needs. | Maria joins as a level 3 [[Cleric]] in Chapter 10, at the halfway point of ''Shadow Dragon''.

While other staff users who join earlier exist, Maria is still better than other units reclassed to [[Curate]] or Cleric, as they would have an E rank in staves. This allows her to reach C rank at a decent speed, and with that, access to [[Warp]] and [[Physic]]. Once Maria has reached C rank in staves, she functions well as a support unit. No reclassing options help Maria, as she would have very low stats and weapon ranks after reclassing. It is unlikely that Maria will ever promote, considering how competitive [[Master Seal]]s are, but if she does, [[Bishop]] is her best promotion, as it increases her staff rank. | ||
Maria also has a unique niche—she can use the [[Aum]] staff without reclassing, otherwise limited to [[Elice]]. However, this would require Maria to reach A staves, which may not be feasible, and Elice will always be able to use it at base. | Maria also has a unique niche—she can use the [[Aum]] staff without reclassing, otherwise limited to [[Elice]].

Maria is effectively a non-unit: she is primarily there for story purposes, and you do not even have to recruit her to progress. Failure to do so, however, mandates her death, be it by the player or Medeus using her as a sacrifice. | |||
Out of the four sisters, Maria is the worst. She cannot use [[Recover]] without being given an [[Arms Scroll]], and her [[Physic]] heals for only 11 HP. The map is too crowded to afford her time to use an Arms Scroll in the first place, and saving one from her takes one away from other units that could have benefited from it more earlier. 2 Arms Scrolls are required for her to use [[Aum]], which is unnecessary when [[Elice]] and [[Nyna]] can do so at base. | |||
If [[Marth]] is refreshed to fight [[Medeus]] multiple times a turn, Maria can provide weak healing with Physic or [[Mend]], enough to bump Marth over a survival threshold, without consuming the action of a more important staff-user. | |||

There are | There are three different variations of Maria available to ''Heroes'', each based on her appearance in ''Mystery of the Emblem''. The normal variation of Maria is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch. A spring variation of Maria was made available between the period of March 8, 2021 through April 8, 2021 as part of the summoning event surrounding the [[Hop-and-Go-Seek]] update. A fallen variation of Maria, based on her brainwashing by [[Medeus]] in the [[Light and Shadow|endgame]] of {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}, was added in the New Heroes & Rearmed Chrom update, and was first available to summon from May 9, 2023. | ||

“ | Now then. Shall we be off? I'm coming with you, of course. ...No protesting! I wish to help! | ” | — Maria, to Marth |
---|
Maria (Japanese: マリア Maria) is the second princess of Macedon, and the younger sister of Michalis and Minerva. She appears as a cleric in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and their remakes, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light
Role
Before the events of the game, Maria's older brother Michalis kidnapped her in order to force Minerva and the Whitewings to obey him. Minerva sent her soldier Catria to inform Marth of her predicament, and the prince immediately set out for Castle Deil, despite the misgivings of his army. He was able to rescue the captive princess from General Zharov, and Maria and Minerva promptly joined Marth's forces.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Maria is a Curate that joins in Chapter 10. Maria has a weapon level of 8, which is high enough to use every staff in the game. This single-handedly gives Maria enough utility to justify using her, as certain staves are extremely useful, such as Warp and Physic. Unfortunately, Maria has many other weaknesses that limit her potential. She has a speed of 2, with a growth of 20%, meaning she will probably get doubled by any enemy she goes up against. Her defense is a very low 4 with a growth of 0%, which—when you factor in her low speed, her 19 max HP with a 0% growth, and the fact she only has an avoid of 2 before terrain bonuses—means she will likely die against any enemy she comes up against. These weaknesses can be improved by promoting to Bishop, which additionally allows her to use tomes. Unfortunately, the only way for Maria to gain experience is to survive combat, which is very hard considering her terrible durability. She only starts at level 3, so she needs to gain 7 levels to reach the promotion threshold, and she joins too late in the game to take advantage of weaker enemies in the earlier levels. Additionally, the Bishop's Ring needed to promote her can't be obtained until Chapter 19, so she can't take advantage of the benefits of promotion for most of the game. Still, being able to use every staff gives her enough utility to justify using if you feel you need another staff-user.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Maria joins as a level 3 Cleric in Chapter 10, at the halfway point of Shadow Dragon. Her base stats are low, aside from a relatively high resistance stat, and her level is also low, requiring seven more to promote. Her growth rates except for luck and resistance are also low, so she will not gain many stats from the level-ups she needs.
Maria starts with D rank in staves and 10 weapon experience. While other staff users who join earlier exist, Maria is still better than other units reclassed to Curate or Cleric, as they would have an E rank in staves. This allows her to reach C rank at a decent speed, and with that, access to Warp and Physic. Once Maria has reached C rank in staves, she functions well as a support unit. No reclassing options help Maria, as she would have very low stats and weapon ranks after reclassing. It is unlikely that Maria will ever promote, considering how competitive Master Seals are, but if she does, Bishop is her best promotion, as it increases her staff rank.
Maria also has a unique niche—she can use the Aum staff without reclassing, otherwise limited to Elice. However, this would require Maria to reach A staves, which may not be feasible, and Elice will always be able to use it at base.

Maria is effectively a non-unit: she is primarily there for story purposes, and you do not even have to recruit her to progress. Failure to do so, however, mandates her death, be it by the player or Medeus using her as a sacrifice.
Out of the four sisters, Maria is the worst. She cannot use Recover without being given an Arms Scroll, and her Physic heals for only 11 HP. The map is too crowded to afford her time to use an Arms Scroll in the first place, and saving one from her takes one away from other units that could have benefited from it more earlier. 2 Arms Scrolls are required for her to use Aum, which is unnecessary when Elice and Nyna can do so at base.
If Marth is refreshed to fight Medeus multiple times a turn, Maria can provide weak healing with Physic or Mend, enough to bump Marth over a survival threshold, without consuming the action of a more important staff-user.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
There are three different variations of Maria available to Heroes, each based on her appearance in Mystery of the Emblem. The normal variation of Maria is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch. A spring variation of Maria was made available between the period of March 8, 2021 through April 8, 2021 as part of the summoning event surrounding the Hop-and-Go-Seek update. A fallen variation of Maria, based on her brainwashing by Medeus in the endgame of New Mystery of the Emblem, was added in the New Heroes & Rearmed Chrom update, and was first available to summon from May 9, 2023.
