Cain: Difference between revisions

|recruit=[[Marth Embarks|Chapter 1]], automatically from the start

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.

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. The best way to mitigate his problems is to play the first few chapters patiently and cautiously, using Cain with an Iron Lance as the primary melee tank, pulling one enemy at a time, and healing him whenever necessary. This allows him to grind up his lance rank early on with minimal risk, as he doesn't start consistently risking being doubled by enemy Cavaliers until Chapter 6. Done this way, he can easily reach D lances and begin catching up to Abel.

===Skill set===

Cain, alongside Abel, plays a prominent role in the {{FEOVA}} anime adaptation. As in the games, they are loyal Altean Knights and they always team up each other when it comes to fighting in wars where [[Marth]] fights. Cain is a most energetic person who wishes [[Marth]] and companions to return to [[Altea]] as soon as possible at all costs, despite [[Jagen]]'s doubts of doing so. In the first episode, during the Galder pirates' assault on Talys, Cain rides his horse, helping [[Marth]] to defeat the pirates.
