The '''staff''' (Japanese: {{hover|杖|Tsue}} ''rod''; plural: '''staves''') is a magical [[weapon]] category which was introduced in {{FE1}} and is present in every game except {{title|Gaiden}}, where [[white magic]] performs the same role. Staves are unique in that they have no capacity to actively deal damage and cannot be used to initiate an attack, nor in most cases defend an attack. Instead, they deal entirely in support magic to aid their allies or non-violently cripple their enemies. | The '''staff''' (Japanese: {{hover|杖|Tsue}} ''rod''; plural: '''staves''') is a [[Category:Magic (element)|magical]] [[weapon]] category which was introduced in {{FE1}} and is present in every game in the {{FES}} except {{title|Gaiden}}, where [[white magic]] performs the same role.

Among [[:Category:Base classes|basic classes]], there are a handful of staff-wielding classes which can use no other weapon type and are incapable of fighting on their own; classes of this archetype are typically known as '''healers'''. On [[class change|promotion]], healer classes usually gain access to offensive magic alongside staves, and the vast majority of other [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced]] magical classes will usually gain access to staves alongside their initial magic type. In later games, staves are also often found being used by advanced classes who otherwise only wield physical weapons. | Among [[:Category:Base classes|basic classes]], there are a handful of staff-wielding classes which can use no other weapon type and are incapable of fighting on their own; classes of this archetype are typically known as '''healers'''.
