Druid
| ||||||
|
TheDruid (Japanese:ドルイドDruid) is anadvanced magic-wieldingclass which debuted inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade. It is thepromoted form of theShaman in most cases, and it primarily wieldsdark magic with the addition ofstaves oranima magic depending on the individual game.
Druids are characterised primarily by being bulkier and slower than their promoted magic counterparts, theSage andBishop. Theirspeed andskill are lower, and in exchange they possess marginally betterHP anddefense, though not to as great an extent as their counterpartSorcerer of later games; theirresistance is superior to that of Sages, though still inferior to that of Bishops. Theirmagic is high, and their primary advantage is their access to the myriad special effects almost entirely unique to dark magic, inaccessible to other classes.
In their appearance in theGame Boy Advance trilogy of games, the Druid is the promoted form of the Shaman; inThe Sacred Stones it is one of two class change options for the Shaman, alongside theSummoner, having access to anima magic to compensate for the Summoner'sSummon skill. InRadiant Dawn, Druids are anenemy-only class with only a total of six appearing in the course of the entire game, and as such the class has no defined class change options. FromShadow Dragon onward, the Druid has been replaced by theSorcerer, which performs the same function as an advanced dark-wielding class and, inShadow Dragon andNew Mystery of the Emblem, has a similar appearance.
