'''Claud''' (Japanese: {{hl|クロード|Kurōdo}} ''Claud'') is a playable character appearing in {{FE4}}. He was the lord of the [[Edda]] duchy of [[Grannvale]], a full-blooded descendant of [[Bragi]] of the [[Twelve Crusaders]], and head of the Church of Edda. Gifted with divine foresight, he learned the reality of the chaos engulfing the noble houses of Grannvale, and was an ally of [[Sigurd]] following the false accusations laid against him about the death of Prince [[Kurth]]. | |||
==Biography== | |||
Six months into [[Sigurd]]'s occupation of [[Agustria]], Claud arrived at Madino Castle with [[Tailtiu]] in tow, warning Sigurd of the death of [[Kurth]] and the rumors implicating Sigurd in Kurth's murder. Afterward, Claud departed for [[Bragi Tower]] to pray and attempt to divine the truth of the conflict. He and Tailtiu emerged from the tower after Sigurd defeated [[Chagall]] at Sylvale Castle, having learned the reality of [[Reptor]] and [[Lombard]] being behind Kurth's death, and having found [[Valkyrie (staff)|Valkyrie]], long thought to be lost. He subsequently accompanied Sigurd in exile to [[Silesse]]. During Sigurd's stay in Silesse, Claud went back to [[Grannvale]] to check on the situation, before coming back to Sigurd to report on the situation. He then stayed with Sigurd on the march back to Grannvale and in the [[Battle of Belhalla]], in which he foresaw his own death.<ref>{{Cite|'''Claud:''' This war will end in our defeat. All that is important to us will be lost.<br>'''Edain:''' ...What!?<br>'''Claud:''' I, too, had a difficult time believing the Lord's words when I was at Bragi Tower. But this is how fate will have it. I also will not likely survive.|[[Claud]] and [[Edain]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> | |||
Claud is deceased as of Grann 776; however, [[Sleuf]] claims to have communed with Claud's soul at [[Bragi Tower]], received a prophecy from him, and told to act as Claud's eyes in the mortal world in observing the fate of Jugdral.<ref>{{Cite|'''Sleuf:''' But I heard the voice in Bragi Tower.

===Analysis=== | |||
{{analysis}} | |||
====As a unit==== | |||
Claud is a level 20 [[High Priest]] who joins in Chapter 3. He has high magic and resistance, but he is very frail. Claud can use C-rank wind, thunder, and fire magic, allowing him to perform magic chip damage should the need arise, but his low HP, defense, and movement, along with a lack of any combat [[skills]] prevent him from being useful as a dedicated combat unit, and having only a C rank in all of his usable offensive magic even as a promoted unit means he cannot use anything stronger than the basic level tomes. Claud has major Bragi Holy Blood, which increases his HP, magic, luck, and resistance growths; since he joins at a high level, he will make limited use of these bonuses. Major Bragi blood grants Claud ★ rank in staves, allowing him to use every staff in the game, including the [[Valkyrie (staff)|Valkyrie]] staff he joins with. | |||
With Valkyrie, Claud can resurrect a single dead ally per use; resurrecting an ally can be helpful if the player is playing through the game without resetting to try for more desirable outcomes, or when playing for [[rankings]] to prevent a reduction in the survival rank—Valkyrie will not reduce an individual unit's losses for the combat rank, however. If the player is resetting, Valkyrie will be of limited use, as ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' allows the player to save at the start of every turn. Additionally, Valkyrie can be used only once before it must be repaired, and repairing it costs 30,000 [[gold]]; Claud starts with 10,000 gold, but will struggle to obtain the remaining 20,000 without receiving it from a lover or [[Dew]]. | |||
Claud's primary flaw is his low movement. High Priests have below-average movement even for infantry at only 5; Claud shares this movement with [[Arden]], among others. 5 movement prevents Claud from keeping up with the mounted frontline and much of the infantry following them; he can sometimes be unable to reach front-line units even with [[Physic]] or [[Fortify]]. Claud's low movement is less of an issue in Chapter 3, as he joins in a location where it matters less, but he struggles in Chapters [[Dance in the Skies|4]] and [[Doorway to Destiny|5]]. | |||
====As a father==== | |||
Claud's children will inherit Bragi Holy Blood—which increases HP, magic, luck, and resistance growths—but he has no skills to pass down. Claud will always pass major Bragi blood and Valkyrie to his son—or if he marries [[Brigid]], his daughter [[Patty]]—regardless of if they can use Valkyrie. The only children that can potentially use Valkyrie if they inherit it are [[Erinys]]'s son Ced and [[Silvia]]'s son [[Coirpre]]. | |||
If Claud and Edain are lovers in Chapter 5, Claud can grant [[Edain]] the [[Rescue (staff)|Rescue]] staff in an event; this is one of two ways to obtain Rescue in the first generation, the other being through an event in Chapter 4 between Edain and [[Azelle]] that requires they be lovers. Neither Claud nor Edain makes strong use of Rescue as they both have 5 move, but [[Lachesis]]—when promoted to [[Master Knight]]—will have A level staves and 9 move, allowing her to bring units much further than they could move on their own. If Azelle grants Edain Rescue, the player will have access to it in Chapter 4 where it is particularly helpful, but will be unable to use it in the second generation until late in [[The Wyvern Knights of Thracia|Chapter 8]] at the earliest if Claud sires [[Ced]]; if Claud grants Edain Rescue, it will be unavailable in Chapter 4, but Edain's daughter [[Lana]] can inherit it from the start of [[Doorway to Destiny|Chapter 6]]; if Rescue is inherited by no one, it can be purchased from the armory in [[Light and Dark|Chapter 10]]. | |||
If Claud is Lana's father, she inherits minor Bragi blood, increasing her staff level to A allowing her to inherit and use the high-level staves Rescue and Fortify at base. When not inherited, most staves—especially stronger ones—only become available late in the second generation; for example, Rescue is first available in Chapter 10, and Fortify and [[Warp]] in Chapter 9. Like Claud and Edain, Lana has low movement that limits her ability to heal or to use Rescue. [[Leif]], like Lachesis, can promote to Master Knight with high move and A staves—he can provide strong staff utility, especially with Rescue, in the second generation. Claud will greatly reduce [[Lester]]'s usefulness, however; Lester's strength will be greatly reduced, and he will be unable to inherit any [[bow]]s. Claud and Edain are easy to pair; they have the same movement and utility, and can spend much time adjacent to each other without drastically reducing either of their usefulness. | |||
Both Claud and Silvia possess Bragi Holy Blood, so if Claud marries Silvia, both of their children will have major Bragi blood. [[Lene]]'s survivability is slightly boosted by the increase to her HP, Resistance, and [[avoid]]; however, she inherits nothing else from Claud. Coirpre will not inherit Claud's tomes, but will inherit his staves, including Valkyrie. However, Claud does not significantly improve Coirpre, as the only staff that he would be incapable of using with another father is Valkyrie. Claud and Silvia are relatively easy to pair as they have similar movement, but Silvia is often closer to combat than Claud, and is often given the [[Knight Ring]] and sometimes [[Leg Ring]], which increases her mobility greatly above Claud's. | |||
Both of Erinys's children—Ced and [[Fee]]—appreciate the growth boosts from Bragi Holy Blood; as a [[Sage]], Ced uses magic to attack, and Fee can use magic swords such as the [[Wind Sword]] more effectively, can better take attacks from enemy magic-users, and gains more avoid. Both units also appreciate the boost to staff level; Fee gains B staves upon promotion instead of a C rank, allowing her to use better staves such as [[Physic]] or [[Restore]], while Ced gains ★ staves instead of B, allowing him to use every staff in the game. Ced's base magic makes him one of the best users of status staves, and Claud gives him great magic. Pairing Claud and Erinys, however, requires that Erinys—as a flier—be restrained, limiting her contributions to keep her adjacent to Claud. | |||
Another noteworthy pairing for Claud is with [[Tailtiu]]. It is very easy to get, as Claud joins alongside Tailtiu, they have similar movement, and they have a high love base. Claud passes down major Bragi Holy Blood to [[Arthur (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Arthur]] and minor Bragi blood to [[Tine]], improving their growths in four areas, most importantly in magic. However, as Claud does not pass down any skills, both Arthur and Tine will be stuck only with [[Wrath]] as a skill. While Arthur will inherit Valkyrie, neither [[Mage]] nor [[Mage Knight]] is capable of wielding staves; Tine can use staves upon promoting to [[Mage Fighter]], and will have A staves with the boost from minor Bragi blood, allowing her to use every staff but Valkyrie—while she has 6 movement, her magic makes her better at wielding status staves than the mounted alternatives. Both children benefit more from inheriting [[Follow-Up]] and minor Fjalar blood—which boosts magic more than Bragi blood—from Azelle, or [[Vantage]] from [[Lex]] to synergize with Wrath. Alternately, Arthur benefits strongly from [[Lewyn]] as a father, as he will be able to use the powerful [[Forseti (tome)|Forseti]] tome, and will be the only mounted unit after promotion capable of using it. | |||
Claud can also be paired with Lachesis to give [[Nanna]] a B in staves, which she can inherit. However, the pairing will leave both children with gimped combat, and even with Claud as a father Nanna's magic will not be impressive. | |||
