Valkyrie

In the GBA games, Valkyries are obtained from Clerics and Troubadours. They both need a Guiding Ring and to be of levels 10 and up. They are usually used as healers but can also use Light magic in a pinch. As they are on horseback, they can move more spaces than Bishops; however, stat-wise, they are like Bishops but with a higher speed.

In Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, Valkyries are still promoted Clerics on horseback, but they can wield swords instead of Light magic. As far as their battle roles go, they are more suited to kill enemy magic-users.
