Assessment

A powerful healer and eventually essential for the DispelRemoves 1 buff from a foe. subskill, but somewhat limited by the lack of synergy between the skills compared to other classes. Should be unlocked as soon (or late) as DispelRemoves 1 buff from a foe. or VeilAll allies gain VeilDebuffs will be nullified (1 time)
"Veil" is an unofficial name used by the wiki for this status effect. Its actual in-game name is "Immune.". is needed.

One weakness of Bishop is that DispelRemoves 1 buff from a foe. and ReviveResurrects one party member at 25% Max HP and places them in sub slot 1. are irrelevant for many fights and Panacea IIRestores 150 + 25% maximum HP to all parties (Healing cap: 2000 [1000 for other parties])., while very potent, can have trouble with single-target damage spikes or area burst, both of which Holy Saber handles better. Panacea IIRestores 150 + 25% maximum HP to all parties (Healing cap: 2000 [1000 for other parties]).'s short cooldown makes it extremely efficient in battles with low, consistent damage where it can be cast consistently without the party ever being in serious danger, but such fights are relatively scarce.

For battles where ClarityRemove 1 debuff from all parties. is better than DispelRemoves 1 buff from a foe., Cleric can be superior despite being a Row II class.
Considerably more effective in multiplayer, where DispelRemoves 1 buff from a foe. is more likely to be useful and you can assist all parties with Panacea IIRestores 150 + 25% maximum HP to all parties (Healing cap: 2000 [1000 for other parties]). and the aforementioned subskills. Raid-wide skills also generate considerable contribution, allowing even new/weak players to farm Event Honors or Pendants efficiently.

Overall, Bishop is usually at least decent, and potentially amazing when more than one of its skills finds use, but there is often a better, more specialized class for a given battle.
