With strong light magic as well as the utility of staves to aid allies, Micaiah has a mix of offensive and defensive capabilities as a Light Priestess. Her [[magic (stat)|magical power]] and [[resistance]] are among the best in the game, but she still suffers from mediocre [[HP]], bad [[speed]] and a dismal [[defense]] stat. Micaiah herself has the [[Sacrifice]] skill, which allows her to cut her own [[Hit point|HP]] to heal an ally. This, while useful, can be risky, and combined with her poor defensive stats she is generally a very vulnerable unit. Micaiah compensates partially for this by being [[Micaiah#Fire Emblem:Radiant Dawn|immune to being attacked by numerous endgame enemies and bosses]].

==Trivia==

* The Light Priestess is one of only five playable classes in ''Radiant Dawn'' whose members can achieve multiple [[Weapon rank|SS ranks]]. The others are the [[Saint]], [[Vanguard]], [[Chancellor]] and [[Black Knight (class)|Black Knight]].

* The Light Priestess's Japanese katakana name links the class to the [[Shaman]] class of {{FE4}} and {{title|Thracia 776}}, in which Shamans were female [[Cleric]]-like users of light magic and staves; "shaman" is [[Light Priestess#Etymology and other languages|also historically used as an English translation for the class's kanji name]]. The name was likely changed in localization to avoid confusion with the [[dark (magic)|dark]] magic-using class present in {{FE7}} and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, as unlike ''Genealogy'' and ''Thracia'', these games were released internationally.

|jap-mean=Officially romanized as '''Shaman'''. In ''Radiant Dawn'', all Japanese class names are spelled primarily in kanji (i.e. {{Hover|神将|Shinshō}}), with a foreign-language name in katakana applied as [[wikipedia:Furigana|furigana]] (i.e. {{Hover|ヴァンガード|Vangādo}}) and used as the basis for the romanized name in the class roll.<br>The kanji name refers to the ''[[wikipedia:Miko|miko]]'' ({{Hover|巫女|Miko}}), priestesses of Japan's Shinto religion who work at shrines; in English they are often referred to as "shrine maidens", although "shaman" is also a common translation of the term.
