Once Lissa has accumulated enough experience to promote, she can change her class into [[War Cleric]] or [[Sage]]. War Cleric grants her more durability and strength as well as access to axes, [[Rally Luck]] and [[Renewal]]. Unfortunately, none of these assets are very interesting for Lissa: an E axe rank will not allow her to do decent damage since her strength base and growth were pretty poor as a Cleric, Rally Luck is one of the worse support skills and Renewal won't help her much at surviving enemies since Lissa will still have trouble surviving multiple enemies even with the extra durability of the War Cleric. Sage on the other hand gives her a better boost to magic and grants her access to tomes, [[Rally Magic]] and [[Tomefaire]]. While an E tome rank won't make Lissa a great combat unit, at least it uses her magic stat, which will usually be higher than her strength stat as War Cleric. It additionally gives her a 2-range option at the start, allowing her to avoid more counterattacks—in comparison, War Cleric will only gain ranged axes at D rank, requiring some investment. Rally Magic is a very decent support skill, and Tomefaire gives Lissa a well-welcomed boost to her magic. Since staff range and healing depends on your staff users magic stat, having more magic on them is always good.

While you may receive other staff users later on, Lissa can usually compete with them: [[Anna/Awakening|Anna]] or promoted magicians might have better stats, but they also a lower staff rank than her, Maribelle has more movement, but also most likely worse stats at join, and [[Libra]] is stuck in a worse class for quite a while. Combined with her early join time, this gives her usually a spot as your main staff user for most of the game.

Aside the Cleric class tree, Lissa also can reclass into [[Troubadour]] or [[Pegasus Knight]] and their respective promotions. [[Demoiselle]] is a neat skill to support male allies, but usually it is not worth the detour of reclassing into Troubadour, since being in a promoted class is a bigger improvement for Lissa. The [[Valkyrie]] class is similar to the Sage class, but trades higher movement for the cost of having slightly worse magic and no access to Tomefaire. [[Rally Resistance]] is useful later on once you meet more magic enemies, while [[Dual Support+]] improves the support bonuses for and from Lissa, making Valkyrie a good reclassing option after mastering the Sage class. The [[Falcon Knight]] promotion is also interesting for Lissa, since it also increases her mobility and grants her access to [[Rally Speed]], another good support skill. On the other hand, having lances as weapons and [[Lancefaire]] as skill doesn't help Lissa much, making the class a lot less appealing to master compared to Valkyrie. As [[Dark Flier]], Lissa loses her ability to wield staves, but gets the possibility to learn [[Galeforce]], which can be passed down on [[Owain]] to greatly improve his combat performance. However, due to the way experience scaling after reclassing works in ''Awakening'', it will typically take a very long time for her to actually learn the skill.
