Miriam is a cavalry Radiant Knight, a durable anti-mage support who keeps squads safe with Magick Barrier, patches squads with Row Heal, and still chips in with Hache for PP economy. She’s excellent into caster-heavy maps and assist nests thanks to her leader effect Resist Magick Assist.
How to Recruit Miriam
Complete “The Priestess, Abducted” in Cornia (east of La Criselle). After rescuing Scarlett, Miriam joins your army.
Class Overview: Radiant Knight (Mounted / Support Tank)
Role: Anti-mage support & row healer with cavalry mobility.
Leader Effect: Resist Magick Assist (your squad takes reduced damage from magick assists).
Matchups: Strong vs Witches/Wizards and magic poke; weaker into fliers and true-strike lines.
Stats and Growth
- AP / PP: 1 / 1 – lean kit but Hache grants PP on hit.
- HP: B – frontline-capable for a support.
- Physical ATK / DEF: D / C – modest damage, okay armor.
- Mag ATK / DEF: **C / S – great MAG defense; safe into casters.
- Accuracy / Evasion: D / F – don’t rely on dodges.
- Crit / Guard Rate: F / B – some guarding, low crit reliance.
- Initiative: C – average; script reactions rather than alpha strikes.
- Growth Type: Offensive / Guardian.
Skills and Abilities
Valor (Field)
- Guard Call: Place a sigil granting –20% damage taken to allies in range (10s). Great for pushes and boss sieges.
Actives / Passives
- Hache (Active, 1 AP): Single-target strike; +1 PP on hit, use to refuel your support passives.
- Magick Barrier (Passive, 1 PP): Negate the next magick hit (and its affliction) on an ally, premier anti-mage tool.
- Row Heal (Active, Lv10): Restore moderate HP to a row, stabilizes attrition lanes.
- Holy Guard (Passive, Lv15): Medium guard vs an incoming attack and prevents debuffs, excellent into status archers.
Best Equipment and Accessories
Weapon: Runic/holy-aligned swords that add Mag ATK or healing/utility pair well (e.g., Runic Sword for magick scaling).
Shield: Holy Knight’s Shield (heal on active use) synergizes with Row Heal/Hache.
Armor: Mixed/phys bulk; slot mag-resist only if you somehow lack it elsewhere.
Accessories:
- Lapis Pendant (+1 PP): Keeps Magick Barrier / Holy Guard online every clash.
- Carnelian Pendant (+1 AP): Enables Row Heal + Hache in the same engagement.
- Anti-affliction charm (flex): Double down vs poison/burn/status lanes.
Ideal Unit Placement & Team Synergy
Front-middle or back-middle of a squad, close enough to guard/heal both rows.
Pairs well with:
Armor frontlines (Hoplites/Fighters): she covers their magical weakness with Magick Barrier.
Squishy casters/archers: Holy Guard blocks nasty status arrows; Row Heal tops them off.
Cavalry comps: shares move type for easier formation timing; Guard Call supports mounted pushes.
Tips and Strategy
Suggested Tactic Template (priority order):
- Magick Barrier (PP) → Condition: “Prioritize Armored / Ally about to be hit by magick” (erase mage burst on your tank).
- Holy Guard (PP) → Condition: “Attacked by Archer / Debuff threats present” (block + prevent debuffs).
- Row Heal (1 AP) → Condition: “Row HP < 75%” (avoid overheal; stabilize after trades).
- Hache (1 AP) → Condition: “Lowest HP enemy” (chip + refund PP to keep passives rolling).
- Valor – Guard Call → Field: pop before engages, boss nukes, or to anchor risky objectives.
Play notes
PP economy first. Use Hache early in long fights to bankroll constant Barrier/Guard uptime.
Target reads matter. Barrier the unit most likely to eat magick (e.g., your Hoplite lane when facing witches).
Mind flier weakness. Radiant Knights are ineffective vs fliers, don’t park her in a gryphon lane without cover.
Final Thoughts
Miriam turns caster maps into freebies: she negates magick, prevents debuffs, and keeps rows healthy while riding with your frontline. Build PP/AP economy, script Barrier → Guard → Row Heal, and let her escort squishier carries through the toughest spell pressure in Fevrith.
