TheValkyrie (Japanese:ヴァルキュリアValkyria) is anadvanced mountedclass which was introduced inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade. They are one of only a few mounted magic-wielding classes in theFire Emblem series. They have acted as the primarypromoted class forTroubadours since their introduction, a role previously filled by thePaladin, and they primarily usestaves in addition to offensive magic, with the type of offensive magic available to them depending on the game.
Valkyries typically play a similar role to their fellow advanced healer class, theBishop. Their strongest stat is their exceptionally highresistance, and they also have high offensive stats to allow them to provide effective magical offense, with particularly impressivespeed. In addition, being a mounted class gives them highmovement to allow them to both attack and support their allies with staves with greater ease. Like most magical classes, they suffer from shakydefense, although in the Game Boy Advance games at least, they tend to have higher defense than other magical classes.
InPath of Radiance andRadiant Dawn, aside from a single NPC inPath of Radiance Chapter 24, the class is exclusive toMist of theGreil Mercenaries. It is her promoted class in both games, promoting fromCleric, and wields swords instead of offensive magic in these two games; inRadiant Dawn, it is classified as athird-tier advanced class. The class behaves similarly to its other appearances in terms of stats; however, itsstrength being its weakest stat is actually relevant given its access to swords. The class's highmagic makes Mist one of the few sword-wielders able to make good use ofmagic swords in the former game.
Outside ofPath of Radiance andRadiant Dawn, the Valkyrie is the primary promoted form for Troubadours in all appearances, occupying the role formerly filled in theJugdral games by thePaladin.The Sacred Stones also givesClerics the option to promote to Valkyrie.Fire Emblem Fates replaces Valkyries with the functionally identicalStrategist class.
The class appears inThree Houses asdownloadable content, as part of theCindered Shadows side story. It becomes available in the main story after completing thefirst chapter of this side story.
