'''Arden''' (Japanese: {{hl|アーダン|Ādan}} ''Arden'') was a knight in the service of [[Grannvale]]'s House [[Chalphy]]. When the Grannvale army went to war with [[Isaach]], Arden was one of its few knights left behind, remaining in Chalphy with [[Sigurd]].

==Biography==
Arden was present in Chalphy when they received word of the [[Verdane]] attack on [[Yngvi]] Castle. At [[Alec]]'s suggestion, Arden was tasked with remaining at Chalphy to guard the castle in this initial skirmish. Arden subsequently accompanied Sigurd's army on the campaigns in Verdane and [[Agustria]], in exile in [[Silesse]], and presumably in being executed by the mages of [[Velthomer]] in the [[Battle of Belhalla]].

* In [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]], if Arden is not married, he can received a [[Follow-Up Ring]] if he waits on a tile on the sandy peninsula south of [[Heirhein]] Castle.
* In [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter 5]], if Arden is married, he can receive a +5 [[Skill (stat)|Skill]] boost if he waits on a tile located on a cliff overlooking Phinora Castle, directly south from a village.
* In [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter 5]], if they are lovers, [[Ayra]] or [[Erinys]] can talk to Arden. This conversation gives no reward.

===Analysis===

{{analysis}}
Arden is one of the game's weaker units. While his combat is not terrible, he has a poor 5 movement in the game with the largest maps in the franchise. In multiple cases, slowing down for him to catch up is not a reasonable option due to the numerous times that [[village]]s are under attack. Arden's low movement and strong defense incline him to defending castles; however, there are very few cases where a player will need to defend a castle. Additionally, Arden's high defense means he can be relatively safe against physical enemies while [[Vantage]] is active, though he will be especially vulnerable to magic users, and may be healed out of Vantage range when guarding a castle. Once promoted, Arden receives a large boost in his weapon levels and the [[Pavise]] skill to increase his durability; however, promotion does not increase his movement, and has only a minor impact on his performance outside the [[arena]].

Fortunately, if he manages to get into a fight, he can hold his own. Arden's high defense means he can be relatively safe against physical enemies while [[Vantage]] is active, though he will be vulnerable to magic users, and may be healed out of Vantage range when guarding a castle. Once promoted, Arden receives a large boost in his weapon levels and the [[Pavise]] skill to increase his durability; however, promotion does not increase his movement, and has only a minor impact on his performance outside the [[arena]]. His offense is also problematic without [[Follow-Up]].


In an event in [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]], Arden gains the unique [[Follow-Up Ring]], a very valuable and useful item. Though his speed is low, Arden is still fast enough to double many enemies with axes or lances, as swords have very little [[weight (weapon)|weight]]; with the [[Brave Sword]], Arden can potentially attack four times in a single round of combat. With or without the Follow-Up Ring, Arden can find use in [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|Chapter 3]], as he can safely block the pirates off at the bridge north of [[Madino]], preventing them from attacking the castle. If Arden is to see significant use, he will likely need the Follow-Up Ring, the Brave Sword, and the [[Leg Ring]] (which increases his very low movement); however, all of these items are much more useful on other units.
In an event in [[Crisis in Agustria|Chapter 2]], Arden gains the unique [[Follow-Up Ring]], a very valuable and useful item. While it can be given to other units, him getting it for free means that he can use it without needing 40,000 gold and he can sell it to get a lot of gold. Though his speed is low, Arden is still fast enough to double many enemies with axes or lances, as swords have very little [[weight (weapon)|weight]]; with the [[Brave Sword]], Arden can potentially attack four times in a single round of combat. With or without the Follow-Up Ring, Arden can find use in [[Eldigan, the Lionheart|Chapter 3]], as he can safely block the pirates off at the bridge north of [[Madino]] even at base level, preventing them from attacking the castle. If Arden is to see significant use, he will likely need the Follow-Up Ring, the Brave Sword, and the [[Leg Ring]] (which increases his very low movement); however, all of these items are much more useful on other units.


As a father, Arden provides Vantage and high strength and defense; he can be a decent father to a number of children, but most or all have better options. Arden can make a decent husband for [[Brigid]] or [[Silvia]], as their children appreciate Vantage, but they can receive similar bonuses from [[Lex]], or other bonuses from other fathers (such as [[Dew]] passing [[Bargain]], or [[Claud]] passing staves to [[Coirpre]])—additionally, keeping Silvia near Arden to ensure they fall in love can impede her ability to dance for other units. Arden can provide [[Lachesis]]'s or [[Edain]]'s children high strength and weapons to their sons, but he cannot pass [[Follow-Up]] (except by means of the valuable Follow-Up Ring), and lacks events that grant [[love]] points or unique items.
As a father, Arden provides Vantage and high strength and defense; he can be a decent father to a number of children, but most or all have better options. Arden can make a decent husband for [[Brigid]] or [[Silvia]], as their children appreciate Vantage, as when combined with the [[Sleep Sword]] it means they can always clear the arena. Still, they can receive similar bonuses from [[Lex]], or other bonuses from other fathers (such as [[Dew]] passing [[Bargain]], or [[Claud]] passing staves to [[Coirpre]]). Additionally, keeping Silvia near Arden to ensure they fall in love can impede her ability to dance for other units.

|full_name=Arden: Strong and Tough
|name=Arden Strong and Tough
|blurb1=A number of stalwart knights serve Chalphy, the duchy governed by the descendants of the crusader Baldr. This time, I'll be introducing Arden, one of the knights of Chalphy!
|blurb2=Arden's allies often poke fun at him for being slow because he's weighed down by his heavy armor, but his unshakeable tenacity and fearsome swordsmanship make him the core of Chalphy's defenses!
|blurb3=When the neighboring duchy of Yngvi came under invasion, Sigurd led a force from Chalphy to come to its aid. This left a shortage of manpower at the castle, but it was in good hands with Arden assigned to keep the place safe!
|blurb4=So you can see that people rely on Arden a lot already, but he's got lofty goals for himself—he wants to be able to pull off flashy flurries of attacks and impress the love of his life, whoever she may be! I'm rooting for you, Arden!
|Related_name1=Sigurd
|Related_blurb1=Heir to Chalphy, descendant of the crusader Baldr, and Seliph's father. He's courageous and has a strong sense of justice. Arden's lord.
|Related_name2=Alec
|Related_blurb2=A knight of Chalphy in service to Duke Sigurd. He has a cheerful, breezy personality. Fought alongside Arden.
