Thread: Symbol Difference Between Mages and Bishops

The symbol may be the same but there are slight diferences, one of them is that the bishop has a little more range than a mage and the big difference is the skill since bishops heal during the skill instead of attack or range increase

Right, I was just asking since I'm pretty sure these are the only unit types that have the exact same symbol. I mean you can argue they have similar functions, but you can argue there's a similar relationship between Witches and Shamans, not to mention Heavy Armors and their counterparts. It just struck me as odd.

Not quite true. Immortal Princess and Dragon Princess both share a symbol with Princess. Rear Guard and Advance Guard have the same symbol (though in the awakening menu they add letters to specify). There might be some other similar case of classes sharing a symbol, but I'm not aware of it.
