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. | Of the starting [[villager]]s, Kliff is the best candidate to become a [[mage]]; this is due to his learned spells.

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.

Kliff is one of the first characters to joins Alm's party, being recruited at the beginning of Act 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. | |||
Kliff is | |||
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 2 if he is left behind in Act 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 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. | |||

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]]. | As with many characters in ''Gaiden'', Kliff received minimal personality aside from his loyalty to [[Alm]], owing to having little dialogue.

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. | Like the game, Kliff joins the [[Deliverance]] alongside Alm.

“ | To keep another's secret is a sign of strength and trust. But when we hold our own secrets in, we're only judging everyone else. | ” | — Kliff |
---|
Kliff (Japanese: クリフ Qulyf) is a Zofian villager appearing in Fire Emblem Gaiden and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. He is from Ram and is one of the first people to accompany Alm.
Fire Emblem Gaiden
Role
Kliff is one of the first characters recruited in Gaiden. He agrees to follow Alm and seize Zofia's castle at the beginning of the game. Aside from his recruitment he has no other dialogue or story role.
After the war, he says his farewells and vanishes to parts unknown.

Promotion stat gains
Soldier Cavalier Mage Archer Mercenary
- In Gaiden, promotion gains give the character as many points as necessary—the "x" value shown in the table—to reach the promoted class' base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class' base stats, they will not receive any bonus; however, if all stats are higher, then they will receive +1 to HP.
Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Of the starting villagers, 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.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
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 2, he can be recruited by Celica instead, if he wasn't picked up by Alm.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Kliff is one of the first characters to joins Alm's party, being recruited at the beginning of Act 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 2 if he is left behind in Act 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 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.
Fire Emblem Heroes
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.
Kliff: Curious Spirit

- Kliff: Curious Spirit is only available at 5★ rarity.

Personality
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
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.

With the war over, Kliff bid Alm farewell and vanished—with some speculating that he left for a new continent. Decades later, a young man claiming to be Kliff's son arrived in Valentia to serve the king. The boy was said to have a tremendous gift for magic.

Other appearances
Fire emblem Gaiden manga
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.
