Line 217: Line 222:
Of the starting [[villager]]s, Kliff is the best candidate to become a [[mage]]; this is due to his learned spells. Compared to [[Tobin]]'s and [[Gray]]'s lackluster spell lists, Kliff learns more spells overall and at earlier levels. Additionally, Kliff's only competition for mage is [[Luthier]] and [[Delthea]], who both join much later in the game.

=== Role ===
===Role===
Kliff, like in ''Gaiden'', is a friend of [[Alm]]'s, and lives in [[Ram Village]] alongside [[Gray]], [[Tobin]], [[Mycen]], and now [[Faye]]. He is an optional unit for Alm to recruit, making his role minimal past his recruitment. During Act&nbsp;2, he can be recruited by [[Celica]] instead, if he wasn't picked up by Alm.

==Personality and character==
===Analysis===
{{Analysis}}
Kliff is one of the first characters to joins Alm's party, being recruited at the beginning of Act&nbsp;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 with [[Faye]] for the lowest out of the Villagers. However, he does have a very strong 60% Speed growth.
 
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. The Soldier line is an interesting choice, giving him bulk and power aplenty. His personal Speed growth will also make him unusually fast for a Baron, turning him into a very powerful combat unit. As a Cavalier, he performs quite well in a vacuum. However, Alm's route is packed full of strong mounted units, making it difficult for him to stand out. As an Archer, Kliff's early supports with Alm and Tobin can patch up the Archer line's poor accuracy. However, his high Speed growth is squandered in the lategame and postgame due to Hunter's Volley giving any bowman a brave combat art. As a Mage, Kliff is a high-investment high-reward unit. His poor base Speed is compounded early on by the heavy weight of magic, meaning he will be doubled by everything under the sun. However, his spell list is only matched by Celica in sheer versatility, and his high Speed growth combined with the Speed Ring can eventually fix his Speed problems. All in all, Kliff is a solid contributor to Alm's cause who can fill a variety of different roles.
 
As a final note, Kliff can be recruited by Celica's party at the end of Act&nbsp;2 if he is left behind in Act&nbsp;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&nbsp;3, 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.
 
=={{FEH}}==
===Role===
Kliff is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Brave Redux]] update, and became available for summoning by players on October 23, 2018. Only one variation of Kliff is currently available in ''Heroes'', based on his ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia'' incarnation.

==Personality==
{{sectstub}}
{{sectstub}}
As with many characters in ''Gaiden'', Kliff received minimal personality aside from his loyalty to [[Alm]], 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 with [[Tobin]].

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

Shortly after freeing Zofia castle Alm learns that Desaix is holding [[Mathilda]] 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 that [[Clive]] was the one who was supposed to rescue Mathilda.

While Kliff is having a few words with Mathilda he is killed by [[Desaix]], who impales him with a lance from behind.

|blurb1=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.
|blurb2=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.
|blurb3=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.
|blurb4=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!
