TheCleric (Japanese:シスターSister) class is astaff-wielding class which first appeared inFire Emblem Gaiden, appearing in every game since then exceptGenealogy of the Holy War,The Binding Blade, andThree Houses; it is missing from coreFates gameplay (its role taken by theShrine Maiden), but appears as the class ofLissa in theDLC chapterBefore Awakening. It is very similar to thePriest class, which first appeared inFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light; the Cleric is considered the Priest's female counterpart in games where both classes appear except inThracia 776 andRadiant Dawn, where the two are distinct classes. All clerics are female, but in games where the Cleric class is absent, some priests are female.
In most games, the cleric can only use staves. InFire Emblem: Thracia 776, however, clerics appeared as a class similar to theShaman class ofFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, and can use staves,light,fire,thunder, andwind magic. AsGaiden andShadows of Valentia lack staves, clerics in those games are capable of wielding bothblack andwhite magic. In its appearance as the personal class ofMist inRadiant Dawn, the class can also useswords.
Clerics and all of their other incarnations usually cannot attack enemies, and are defenseless if left exposed to the enemy. They often have high luck and speed, which helps them dodge attacks, and high resistance, which guards against magical attacks. However, their low defense and the fact that they cannot counterattack makes them very vulnerable to enemies. They should be protected by fighting units to prevent their deaths.
Clerics change class tobishops inMystery of the Emblem,The Blazing Blade,Shadow Dragon, andNew Mystery of the Emblem. InGaiden andShadows of Valentia, they change class toSaints. InThracia 776, clerics becomeSages. InThe Sacred Stones, they can choose to change class toBishops orValkyries. InPath of Radiance andRadiant Dawn, clerics become Valkyries. InAwakening, they can choose to change class to Sages orWar Clerics.

Trivia
- InGaiden, Clerics are internally the same class asMogalls; whether a unit is a Cleric or a Mogall is determined by its affiliation.
- As Clerics typically cannot attack, none have appeared as a boss in any chapter in theFire Emblem series. However, there are generic enemy clerics, indeed capable of healing enemies.
