Laura is the first and only [[staff]] user in Part I. As the only reliable healer of the Dawn Brigade, she is very useful for supporting combat units in Part I, to ensure they do not use their player phases to consume healing items to restore their [[HP]]. Her base [[Magic (stat)|magic]] is decent enough to perform her healing duties. She has terrible base physical durability and base [[speed]], so she often dies in one hit and cannot [[Avoid|dodge]] very well; she is frequently doubled as well. Thus it is vital to keep her away from combat as much as possible. | Laura is the first and only [[staff]] user in Part I.

Laura has amazing offensive growths, with 70% in magic, [[Skill (stat)|skill]], and speed. However, her only means of gaining experience are healing and [[Bonus experience|BEXP]], since she cannot fight until she promotes to a [[Bishop]] to start wielding [[Light (magic)|Light magic]], so her rate of experience gain is among the lowest in the party, and in addition to her low bases, it is extremely difficult to raise her stats and level overall. Furthermore, if a player invests in training Laura, by the time she likely promotes to tier 2 in early Part III, Micaiah can also use staves. Micaiah has better magic than Laura and can wield [[Physic]] immediately upon promotion, making Micaiah a better staff user than Laura with less investment. However, having two healers through midgame and onwards is nevertheless useful, especially given the difficulties of Micaiah's playable chapters. If Laura is promoted, she does gain a niche in [[Blood Contract|Part III chapter 13]], where she becomes the only magic user (Micaiah is restricted to a specific area on the map) who can get close enough to the boss of said chapter, [[Ike]], to use magic to bypass his high defense or use the [[Sleep (staff)|Sleep]] staff to make it easier for him to be defeated. Despite Laura's excellent speed growth, her speed cap severely limits her so she is very unlikely to double units through midgame, and she cannot use [[Thani]] either. This, combined with the very weak light magic, severely limits Laura's capabilities as a long-term combat unit. By the time the endgame rolls around, she will almost certainly be inferior to [[Rhys]] and [[Oliver]] as a backup light mage. | Laura has amazing offensive growths, with 70% in magic, [[Skill (stat)|skill]], and speed.

Laura starts with no skills. The only skill she would benefit from through Part I is [[Shade (skill)|Shade]] (albeit unreliable), as she cannot offensively contribute unless the player gives her an early promotion, and needs to be kept safe. [[Miracle]] can help too, though it will not be available to Laura until Part IV. | Laura starts with no skills.
