“ | Heh heh heh... Humans will never conquer darkness. The guardian of light, Rausten, will drown in a never-ending night. | ” | — Riev |

Riev (Japanese: アーヴ Irv) is a character in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. He was once a bishop of Rausten, but Pontifex Mansel exiled him for worshiping the Demon King. Riev then traveled to Grado, where he quickly became one of the army's Imperial Generals. He appears as a boss twice near the end of the game, but can be recruited as a special character in the Creature Campaign mode.

Starting stats and growth rates
Chapters 19/20, Easy/Normal Chapter 19, Hard Chapter 20, Hard Creature Campaign
- Note: Riev is granted one auto-level in between chapters 19 and 20 on the Normal difficulty, hence each individual stat in chapter 20 may be either the same or one higher than in chapter 19.
Creature Campaign Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
While most of the post-game characters are generally superfluous relative to the main campaign army, Riev stands out as a fantastic unit that can make going through the Lagdou Ruins far more comfortable. While his base magic is low, Slayer combined with the fact that all enemies are monster units means he always hits for effective damage, essentially buffing his attack power to absurd levels. In addition, he also has outstanding bulk, surpassing that of all other possible Bishops in the player's army, which allows him to tank attacks in ways the others could only hope to. He starts with S Light, giving him S rank bonuses immediately, and A staves which allows him to use all but Latona, including Warp. Ivaldi is not recommended since its 2x multiplier overrides Slayer's 3x multiplier. His only true weakness is his middling constitution, which can make using the heavier Light tomes very difficult. Even then, he still has enough for plenty of dodging and following up, and more than a few enemies are very slow.
