The '''Light Priestess''' (Japanese: <ruby><rb>{{Hover|巫女|Miko}}</rb><rt>{{Hover|シャーマン|Shāman}}</rt></ruby> ''Shaman'') is a [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier advanced]] [[Lord]]-like [[class]] which is exclusive to {{FE10}}.  The only unit of this class is [[Micaiah]], one of the game's two protagonists, and it is her final class and the ultimate form of her initial [[Light Mage]] class; Micaiah promotes from [[Light Sage]] to Light Priestess in an event near the end of the game. As a Light Priestess, Micaiah is able to wield [[Light (magic)|light magic]] and [[Staff|staves]].

----
The '''Light Priestess''' (Japanese: <ruby><rb>{{Hover|巫女|Miko}}</rb><rt>{{Hover|シャーマン|Shāman}}</rt></ruby> ''Shaman''), is a [[Magic (element)|magical]] [[class]] which was introduced in {{FE4}}, where it is a base class capable of [[Class change|promoting]] to the [[Sage]] class, aside from [[Deirdre]]. It later reappeared in {{FE10}} where it is, instead, a [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier advanced]] [[Lord]]-like class exclusive to [[Micaiah]], one of the game's two protagonists, acting as her final class and the ultimate form of her initial [[Light Mage]] class.


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]].
In their different incarnations, Light Priestesses are a female-exclusive class wielding [[light (magic)|light magic]] and [[Staff|staves]]. While very frail, they possess high [[magic (stat)|magic]] and [[resistance]], giving them good healing proficiency as well as the ability to defend themselves. In {{FE10}}, Micaiah compensates partially her fragility by being [[Micaiah#Fire Emblem:Radiant Dawn|immune to being attacked by numerous endgame enemies and bosses]].

Light Priestess

Micaiah as a Light Priestess in Radiant Dawn.

Micaiah, priestess of Yune. Mistress of powerful light magic and staves. She possesses the skill Corona.

Unit type(s)

Unknown

Weapon(s)

Light, Staff

Skill(s)

Shove, Corona (Radiant Dawn)

For the dark magic-wielding class in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones sharing the same name in Japanese, see Shaman.

The Light Priestess (Japanese: 巫女シャーマン Shaman), is a magical class which was introduced in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, where it is a base class capable of promoting to the Sage class, aside from Deirdre. It later reappeared in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn where it is, instead, a third-tier advanced Lord-like class exclusive to Micaiah, one of the game's two protagonists, acting as her final class and the ultimate form of her initial Light Mage class.

In their different incarnations, Light Priestesses are a female-exclusive class wielding light magic and staves. While very frail, they possess high magic and resistance, giving them good healing proficiency as well as the ability to defend themselves. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Micaiah compensates partially her fragility by being immune to being attacked by numerous endgame enemies and bosses.
