'''Belf''' (Japanese: {{hl|ベルフ|Berufu}} ''Belf'') is a knight of the [[Sable Order]] of [[Grust]], serving under [[Camus]]. He was one of the band of Sable Knights who escorted Princess [[Nyna]] of [[Archanea (nation)|Archanea]] to [[Aurelis]], but was captured by [[Dolhr]] after accomplishing this goal. Years later, he and fellow Sable Order survivors [[Roberto]] and [[Reiden]] appeared before Marth as he travelled to the [[Ice Dragon Temple]], seeking to join his forces.

==Personality and character==
===Analysis===
{{analysis}}
Belf joins in Chapter&nbsp;13 or around the midgame of ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', with solid growths for the standard of New Mystery and decent bases for an unpromoted unit. While Belf is by no means bad for his join time, he will feel a bit underwhelming on the higher difficulty settings without an early [[promotion]]. Belf luckily comes at level&nbsp;15, so the benefit of giving him a few more levels is much lower than reaping the benefits of an early promotion, despite [[Master Seal]]s being a limited and heavily contested resource.
 
Upon promotion Belf will likely be comparable to the rest of the player's army and can make great use of his solid [[strength]] base and growth to do heavy damage to opposing enemies. He can also make use of his C&nbsp;rank in lances to wield [[Dragonpike]]s and [[Ridersbane]]s for no investment. Along with that, he can quickly reach B&nbsp;rank lances to make use of forged [[Silver Lance]]s as a [[Paladin]] or [[Dracoknight]].
 
Belf's main flaw is his low [[speed]] stat. While he generally will not be getting [[Attack speed|doubled]] by most enemies he is also not doubling the majority of enemies either which significantly lowers his potential damage output. Along with that, Belf needs to receive constant [[experience]] for level ups or additionally stat boosting items to keep up with the high enemy quality on [[Lunatic]] and Lunatic Reverse.
 
Overall, Belf is a solid unit that will most likely find a spot on the player's team during the midgame and with a bit of investment can be used in the lategame as well.
