The Bishop class is one of the advanced classes that specialize in white magic in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, allowing them to play the role of a versatile fighter that can heal allies or attack enemies. Any unit in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes can become a Bishop, though it’s best if the units already have a disposition towards the Magic and Resilience. Magic measures the offensive strength of the same-name type of attacks, while Resilience affects the defensive strength against magic attacks. Additionally, Bishops have an inherent strength against bow users in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, making them a valuable asset to the team.
Because the Bishop class has such a specific track for the entirety of its class tree in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, players may find that the best course of action is to improve upon the characters that are already on that track. These characters begin with the Monk class, and once that class is mastered they’ll be able to use the Priest class. Likewise, mastery of the Priest class fulfills one of the prerequisites of the Bishop class, though players will also need to get their hands on an advanced seal before they can upgrade the class of their unit.
Advanced seals can be earned similarly to others in the game, either by completing the campaign missions for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes or purchasing them through a merchant. Mastering a particular class, specifically the Priest class that comes before the Bishop, is an even easier task. Units can earn class XP in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes as players use them directly in the heat of combat, assign them tasks, or bring them to the Training Grounds at the base camp. Additionally, if the unit has high morale, they’ll be able to earn class XP at an increased rate from any source.
Best Bishop Class Uses In Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
As mentioned, the Bishop class excels against bow users thanks to its Bow Buster skill, but it also has an anti-mount ability thanks to the Calvary Buster. Both of these abilities, in combination with the Bishop’s ability to heal allies, make them valuable members of the convoy in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Additionally, there is a way for players to tell which units are best suited for being a Bishop.
When reviewing the Change Class menu, each unit will have blue arrows next to a class tree that indicates which ones are best for them. For example the Bishop class in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is best suited for Manuela of the Adrestian Empire. Furthermore, once the Bishop class is mastered, that unit can then become the Gremory class – allowing them to be an expert in all forms of magic.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is available for the Nintendo Switch.
