  • InGaiden, promotion gains consist of giving the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class' base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class' base stats, they will not receive any bonus; however, ifall stats are higher, then they will receive +1 to HP.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Of the startingvillagers, Kliff is the best candidate to become amage; this is due to his learned spells. Compared toTobin's andGray's lackluster spell lists, Kliff learns more spells overall and at earlier levels. Additionally, Kliff's only competition for mage isLuthier andDelthea, who both join much later in the game.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Role

Kliff, like inGaiden, is a friend ofAlm's, and lives inRam Village alongsideGray,Tobin,Mycen, and nowFaye. He is an optional unit for Alm to recruit, making his role minimal past his recruitment. During Act 2, he can be recruited byCelica instead, if he wasn't picked up by Alm.

  • InFire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, promotion gains give the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class' base stats.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Kliff is one of the first characters to joins Alm's party, being recruited at the beginning of Act 1. He has solid stats for the most part, except his terrible base Speed of 2 and even lower Skill of 1, which are tied withFaye for the lowest out of the Villagers. However, he does have a very strong 60% Speed growth. Due to how important of a stat Speed is, a promotion that boosts it will help him more than one that does not.

As a Cavalier, he has to contend with an unimpressive early game due to the class's poor base stats, but he becomes stronger during later acts. However, Alm's route is packed full of strong mounted units, making it difficult for him to stand out. Compared toClive, he has worse base stats and needs to be trained up, but he does have more speed if trained. Generally, though, Clive can suffice in the short term, andMathilda andZeke are just as good long-term as Kliff is.

The Soldier line is an interesting choice, giving him bulk and power aplenty. His personal Speed growth will also make him somewhat fast for a Baron (though he will only have 11 speed as a level 1 Baron on average), turning him into a very powerful combat unit, and his great resistance will allow him to tank hits from enemy magic users. Unfortunately, the class will only boost him to 3 speed, so he will struggle to contribute in Act 1. His high speed is also somewhat overkill as speed thresholds are low on Alm's route, even on Hard, and the only enemies that Baron Kliff can double that Knight Tobin andForsyth cannot double are Paladins/Gold Knight and Witches.

The Mercenary line is an excellent choice for Kliff. His Speed base is instantly fixed at 10, allowing his growths to get to work. With solid training and possibly good luck or favoritism with experience or stat boosters, doubling enemy Dread Fighters is not out of the question for him in the late game. He can also loop into a Villager at level 10 and then promote into an Archer and later Sniper and Bow Knight, at which point he will have incredible stats and access to theKiller Bow and kill nearly every enemy with 1-5 range. The only drawback is that the other Villagers also want to become Mercenaries, but his only competition is Gray who has worse or equal stats in every area besides attack.

As an Archer, Kliff's early supports with Alm and Tobin can patch up the Archer line's poor accuracy. However, he is stuck with his base speed until he naturally grows out of it, and he will have to contend with the poor base stats of the Archer class until then. Even then, Python shows at the end of Act 1 who requires less training and is only significantly behind in luck and resistance. His long-term potential as an archer is impressive thanks to the Killer Bow, though his stats will be worse than a Dread-looped Archer.

As a Mage, his canon-favoured class, Kliff will have poor base Speed, which when compounded by the heavy weight of magic means he will be doubled by everything under the sun early on in the game. He does eventually begin to double once his speed growth kicks in, but his performance is also hindered by when he learns his spells, as aside from the situational Thunder spell for 3-range, he doesn't learn Excalibur until level 9, 3 levels later than Tobin. While he does learn Sagittae and Aura, they both do not come until he is a Sage, at which point forging has become available and Mages have passed their prime on Alm's route. Compared to the other villagers, both Tobin and Faye have better early game speed, and even Gray has better attack early on and gets Sagittae earlier (though he does have speed issues). If the player wants a late-game mage on Alm's route, both Luthier and Delthea, especially the latter with her great growth rates, can be used instead of Kliff.

As a final note, Kliff can be recruited by Celica's party at the end of Act 2 if he is left behind in Act 1. For the most part, this is nothing but a novelty - Kliff suffers from a severe level disadvantage and will struggle to catch up throughout Act 3, he will make Alm's route more difficult in Act 1 due to not being present, the only support he has is a pitiful +5 Avoid/+3 Dodge support with Celica, and he has no unique storyline content as a member of the Pilgrimage.

Personality


This section has been marked as astub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


As with many characters inGaiden, Kliff received minimal personality aside from his loyalty toAlm, owing to having little dialogue.Shadows of Valentia expands on his character somewhat, as he is shown to speak maturely for his age and express disdain for unimportant conversations, as shown through his supports withTobin.

Gaiden

When the war ended, he bid farewell to Alm. Afterwards, he was never seen again.

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

With the war over, Kliff bid Alm farewell and vanished—with some speculating that he left for a new continent. Decades later, a young man claiming to be Kliff's son arrived in Valentia to serve the king. The boy was said to have a tremendous gift for magic.

Other appearances

Fire emblem Gaiden manga

Like the game, Kliff joins theDeliverance alongside Alm. As theGaiden manga skips the opening events of the game, Kliff's first appearance is after the liberation of Zofia castle. He has become amage, and claims his gift for magic comes from his grandmother.

Shortly after freeing Zofia castle Alm learns that Desaix is holdingMathilda hostage, and Alm insists that they rescue her immediately, Kliff agrees to go on the rescue mission. During the fighting Kliff helps Mathilda, cheerfully mentioning thatClive was the one who was supposed to rescue Mathilda.

While Kliff is having a few words with Mathilda he is killed byDesaix, who impales him with a lance from behind.

Kliff: Curious Spirit
When Alm set out to do battle with the Rigelian Empire, he had some staunch allies by his side. Among them was Kliff, who's more about brains than brawn.In fact, Kliff's had a very curious nature since he was a child, and he's always loved to read books and learn about history. Before the war with the Rigelian Empire intensified, he was attending a school in a town away from his village.So why did Kliff join the Deliverance? Because of his insatiable curiosity, of course! He wanted nothing more than to travel the world and see all of its sights for himself.Kliff might seem a little cynical, but he's a passionate man beneath that cool exterior. I'm sure there'll be plenty of new sights to pique his curiosity in Askr!
