Moulder joins the army as a [[Priest]] in Chapter 2 with solid bases, including 20 HP and 9 speed, preventing him from being doubled by most early-game enemies and allowing him to survive at least one hit. He has C rank in staves at base, allowing him to reach A rank quite easily and use the [[Warp]] staff obtained in [[Scorched Sand|Chapter 15]], as well as use many other useful staves.

Moulder's promotion to [[Bishop]] gives him 40 additional staff experience, making it easier to get A staff level. It also gives him D rank in light magic and [[Slayer]], which gives all his attacks effectiveness against monsters, which are plentiful in the later chapters of the game. By comparison, [[Sage]] offers similar stat boosts, but grants C rank in anima magic instead of staff experience, and does not provide Slayer. Slayer and staff experience will generally be more useful, so Bishop is the preferable promotion for Moulder.
Moulder's promotion to [[Bishop]] gives him 40 additional staff experience, making it easier to get to A rank and S rank staves. It also gives him D rank in light magic and [[Slayer]], which gives all his attacks effectiveness against monsters, which are plentiful in the later chapters of the game. By comparison, [[Sage]] offers similar stat boosts (though he notably gains one less point of magic), but grants C rank in anima magic instead of staff experience and Slayer, and also gives him a D in light. Bishop is the preferable promotion for Moulder thanks to the extra staff experience. Both Slayer and C anima are less important as Moulder prefers using staves to fighting, but while Sage only offers the combat bonus Bishop helps him out in both combat and staff utility.


The [[Guiding Ring]] Moulder needs to promote is very competitive in ''The Sacred Stones''; in addition to Moulder, [[Artur]], [[Lute]], [[Natasha]], [[L'Arachel]], and [[Ewan]] all need one to promote. Moulder will likely reach promotion level before Natasha, L'Arachel, and Ewan, and can gain Slayer upon promotion unlike Lute, L'Arachel, or Ewan. However, as he cannot fight enemies and staves provide little experience, Moulder will not level up quickly; as such, he gains little from not promoting as soon as he could.
