Bishop

A Bishop (司教 Shisai) is the promoted class of a Priest, Monk, or Cleric. They are capable of wielding Light Magic and Staves. Usually Bishops have high Magic, Luck, and Resistance, but low Defense. They are generally used as healers, but can fight with magic. Originally, Mages promoted into Bishops, until Fire Emblem Gaiden included the Sage class.

In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Bishops are an enemy-only class that use Staves, Fire, Thunder and Wind magic. Priests promoted to the High Priest class instead.

In The Sacred Stones, Bishops have the class skill, Slayer, which allows them to do triple damage against monsters. It is also possible for one to create a "Dark Bishop" by letting it use Stone (only obtainable via a glitch). Once the Bishop has a Dark Weapon Level at D it can wield conventional Dark Magic, starting at Flux. Slayer still works with Dark Magic as it is a class skill. However it is quite ironic, as Dark Magic is used to create monsters, as well as Gleipnir being the only Sacred Twin weapon to not have effectiveness against monster units.
