Cain joins in Chapter 1 with solid stats all around except for his mediocre speed and weapon level. After a couple levels, Cain's high growths everywhere except strength and defense will kick in, allowing him to rapidly outpace Jagen by consistently doubling enemies while being able to use strong weapons. He maintains these high stats for the rest of the game, apart from defense and possibly strength. Cain also has high mobility due to being a cavalier. He is a great candidate for the Paladin's Honor obtained in Chapter 12, due to his statistical superiority to the game's other cavaliers. | Cain joins in Chapter 1 with solid stats all around except for his mediocre speed and weapon level.

Overall, Cain is a great unit that only needs a couple of levels to start snowballing through the game. | Overall, Cain is a great unit that only needs a couple of levels to start snowballing through the game. | ||

Cain performs similarly to his original incarnation in ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', but he takes more investment due to requiring more of an attack speed difference for doubling.

Cain has perfect availability, being around even in the Prologue of ''Shadow Dragon''. His bases are decent enough for him to be useful early on, and he is capable of staying relevant throughout the game thanks to decent growths. His base class, Cavalier, has access to both swords and lances, making Cain flexible during the early chapters, before reclassing is an option. It also gives him higher movement than most other units the player has access to at that point of the game. | Cain has perfect availability, being around even in the Prologue of ''Shadow Dragon''.

Overall, Cain is a decent unit. While his weapon ranks are not very good because of the dominant enemy weapon types, he is helpful in the early game at least and is definitely better than units like Gordin, who lack long-term usefulness and prospects. Cain has good enough bases, growths, and flexibility to remain a worthwhile unit throughout the game. Abel is definitely a cut above him, but you can always use both. | Overall, Cain is a decent unit.

Cain (Japanese: {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|カイン|Kain}} Kain) is an Altean cavalier in the Fire Emblem series. He was present when Gra launched its surprise attack on King Cornelius's forces and returned to Altea to inform Prince Marth of his father's death and deliver his dying words. He is friends with fellow cavalier Abel.
{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}}
Role
Cain is one of the Altean soldiers who fled to Talys alongside Prince Marth after their country was defeated by Dolhr and Gra. Some years later, Talys is attacked and its princess goes to Marth for help; Cain, following his lord's orders, enters the battlefield with his fellow soldiers. Once they have rescued the king of Talys and Marth starts his campaign against Dolhr, Cain follows Marth for the rest of the war.

- In Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, promotion gains consist on giving the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class's base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class' base stats, they will not receive any bonus.
Analysis
{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}} Cain joins in Chapter 1 with solid stats all around except for his mediocre speed and weapon level. After a couple levels, Cain's high growths everywhere except strength and defense will kick in, allowing him to rapidly outpace Jagen by consistently doubling enemies while being able to use strong weapons. He maintains these high stats for the rest of the game, apart from defense and possibly strength. Cain also has high mobility due to being a cavalier. He is a great candidate for the Paladin's Honor obtained in Chapter 12, due to his statistical superiority to the game's other cavaliers.
Overall, Cain is a great unit that only needs a couple of levels to start snowballing through the game.

Book 1
Role
Cain's role is identical to his role in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, being one of Marth's retainers. He is available for the entirety of Book 1.

Book 2
Role
Cain is put in charge of protecting Altea while Marth led the Altean army in subduing the rebellion in Grust. After Marth turns against Archanea and fled to Chaismir Bridge, Cain approached Marth. Relieved that Marth was safe, Cain explained that he had broken through Archanea's forces to reach Marth, and that emperor Hardin was invulnerable to their attacks. He recommended that Marth flee to the north-western fort and escape by ship to the Khadein desert, which Marth reluctantly agreed to. Cain continued to serve in Marth's army for the rest of the war.

Analysis
{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}}
Book 1
Cain performs similarly to his original incarnation in Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, but he takes more investment due to requiring more of an attack speed difference for doubling. Ultimately he is still one of the better units in the game due to his great stats when trained.
Book 2
Cain is one of the better units in Book 2, joining near promotion level with solid bases for his join time and having excellent mobility due to being a cavalier. Though he starts at a lower level than Sirius, with worse bases, Cain has better growth rates, so will surpass him if trained.

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}}
Role
Cain is originally sent to the battlefield alongside King Cornelius, but the Altean army is betrayed by Gra, and Cornelius is killed, breathing his dying words to Cain. Cain then limps back to Altea with severe wounds and encounters Marth, Abel, Frey, and Jagen. Although Marth wants to give Cain immediate medical attention, Jagen refuses until the group has escaped from the castle. Cain then gives Marth his father's dying words and accompanies him for the rest of his quest (unless he is chosen to be the decoy in Prologue IV).

Analysis
{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}} Cain has perfect availability, being around even in the Prologue of Shadow Dragon. His bases are decent enough for him to be useful early on, and he is capable of staying relevant throughout the game thanks to decent growths. His base class, Cavalier, has access to both swords and lances, making Cain flexible during the early chapters, before reclassing is an option. It also gives him higher movement than most other units the player has access to at that point of the game.
However, Cain's base weapon ranks are D in swords and E in lances, and this is a problem. Having a higher sword rank in this game is not nearly as good as having a higher lance rank, because most enemies past the first few chapters use lances and there are few good effective swords Cain can potentially use. Cain will consistently suffer from weapon triangle disadvantage if he uses his preferred weapon type in swords. It is not easy to fix this problem quickly, either, because the early chapters are flooded with axe users. Abel has a much easier time getting from D to C, because he can use Javelins at base and 50 weapon exp is easier to obtain than 100 weapon exp.
Overall, Cain is a decent unit. While his weapon ranks are not very good because of the dominant enemy weapon types, he is helpful in the early game at least and is definitely better than units like Gordin, who lack long-term usefulness and prospects. Cain has good enough bases, growths, and flexibility to remain a worthwhile unit throughout the game. Abel is definitely a cut above him, but you can always use both.
