| − | Arden is a rather difficult unit to use effectively. On one hand, he is very durable with very high [[HP]] and [[Defense]], meaning he would make an ideal tank for choke points. However, due to his low [[Movement]], it will basically be impossible for him to fill this role effectively on most maps since in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', the maps are very large and half of your army is made up of mounted units with twice as much mobility as Arden. This makes it difficult for him to not only act as a tank, but to even keep him relatively close in level to the rest of your army will require you to intentionally slow your assault so that Arden can participate. On the other hand, through engagement in [[Boss Abuse]], Arden can easily [[Promotion Branching|promote]] and reach maximum level early on since his high durability makes it rather easy for him to gain tons of experience from any Level 20 boss. However, even if special care is taken to level Arden, he will still be slow and difficult to use effectively. Even after promotion, his primary purpose will be to defend a castle rather than take an active combat role. |

However, even if special care is taken to level Arden, he will still be slow and difficult to use effectively. Even after promotion, his primary purpose will be to defend a castle rather than take an active combat role. |
||
| + | One way to ensure Arden sees combat is to simply let him occupy the player's castle (or liberated one) and let enemies go to it, past your main offensive force (i.e. don't make Arden go to the enemy, make the enemy go to him). In situations where this is feasible, it might also reduce some headache on player's part, so one doesn't need to hunt down every single enemy unit of the platoon. However, player should not let him deal with excessive numbers and avoid letting magic-users and certain strong units ([[Ayra]], [[Eldigan]] for example) from reaching him. |
||
| − | Mobility issues aside, Arden himself is somewhat mediocre in combat. He can handle large groups of enemies due to his high durability, but his damage output is abysmal until he promotes, and even after promotion it merely becomes average as he will gain access to more powerful weaponry but lack the means to [[Double Attack]]. While Arden is quite strong, his choice of weapons and lack of [[Speed (stat)|Speed]]/[[Pursuit]] means his only real damage can come from single hits from B-level [[Sword]]s until he promotes, resulting in extremely low damage. So while Arden can take damage well from physical sources, he is not very proficient at dishing it out. |

||
| − | A few chapters in, it is possible to obtain a [[Pursuit Ring]] for Arden. However, in almost all cases players choose to sell the ring to another character because Arden's very low Speed means he will not activate it very often. There are many other characters with higher Speed that lack Pursuit that can make much better use of the item ([[Lex]], [[Tailtiu]], [[Lewyn]], or [[Dew]] being much better choices). If Arden keeps the Pursuit Ring for himself, he can become fairly effective against [[Axe]] wielding units as they may have low enough Speed for Arden to Double Attack them. |

Arden is best paired with Ayra or Tailtiu. The rest should generally be avoided due Magic-oriented children where his stats are a poor fit, his lack of Pursuit/skills in general, his poor overall growths, or some combination of all of those reasons making the pairings unremarkable. |

||
* [[Ayra]]: [[Ulster]] and [[Larcei]] will automatically have Pursuit, and Vantage is a decent skill for them to inherit. They get some nice durability to survive frontline fighting and Strength growth to compliment their class. Arden will be able to pass on some good weapons to Ulster. This pairing is not particularly spectacular, but the children will turn out well nonetheless. |

+ | * [[Edain]]: Both are foot units, and the fact that Edain is a healer and stay behind due to being unable to defend herself before promotion, makes easy to pair them up. Arden has access to bows when promoted, and can pass bows to her son [[Lester]], along with the pursuit ring. Their daughter [[Lana]] will have bulkier growths for a priest. |
| − | * [[Silvia]]: While it may difficult to make Silvia stay behind as it can compromise her dancing abilities, their children benefit from the vantage skill along with the sleep sword. |
||
* [[Tailtiu]]: This pairing can be decent for the same reason Lex makes a good pair with Tailtiu; the Vantage and [[Wrath]] combo. While Tailtiu's children will have poor [[Magic]] growth, they will become explosive killing machines when being attacked. One problem with this pairing is that Arden will need the [[Magic Ring]] and [[Pursuit Ring]] to make [[Arthur]] a lot better, and the Pursuit Ring is usually heavily contested and often used by other, better characters. |

“Hrmph. I can live with the strong and reliable part, but leave the slow bit out of it, ok?”
—Arden in Genealogy of the Holy War
—Arden in Genealogy of the Holy War
Arden is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. He is a Knight of Chalphy under Sigurd, and is constantly insulted for his inability to carry out actions swiftly. Arden will eventually perish in the Battle of Belhalla, alongside a good number of his comrades.
Personality
Arden is a strong and reliable individual, but is often mocked for being slow and moving cumbersomely, a trait which he is revealed to be rather frustrated about. He is also shown to be jealous of Alec, noting that the latter is much swifter and more charming than he is.
Arden is humble, as can be seen in a conversation which he shares with Erinys if he is paired up with her, in which he expresses amazement at being able to get someone as pretty as her for his wife.
If married, he sees his wife and children's well being as a motivation to fight and sacrifice himself, putting the safety of his family in first place, as stated in his monologue in Phinora.

Arden is a rather difficult unit to use effectively. On one hand, he is very durable with very high HP and Defense, meaning he would make an ideal tank for choke points. However, due to his low Movement, it will basically be impossible for him to fill this role effectively on most maps since Genealogy of the Holy War's maps are very large and half of your army is made up of mounted units with twice as much mobility as Arden. This makes it difficult for him to not only act as a tank, but to even keep him relatively close in level to the rest of your army will require you to intentionally slow your assault so that Arden can participate. On the other hand, through engagement in Boss Abuse, Arden can easily promote and reach maximum level early on since his high durability makes it rather easy for him to gain tons of experience from any Level 20 boss. However, even if special care is taken to level Arden, he will still be slow and difficult to use effectively. Even after promotion, his primary purpose will be to defend a castle rather than take an active combat role.
One way to ensure Arden sees combat is to simply let him occupy the player's castle (or liberated one) and let enemies go to it, past your main offensive force (i.e. don't make Arden go to the enemy, make the enemy go to him). In situations where this is feasible, it might also reduce some headache on player's part, so one doesn't need to hunt down every single enemy unit of the platoon. However, player should not let him deal with excessive numbers and avoid letting magic-users and certain strong units (Ayra, Eldigan for example) from reaching him.
Mobility issues aside, Arden himself is somewhat mediocre in combat. He can handle large groups of enemies due to his high durability, but his damage output is abysmal until he promotes, and even after promotion it merely becomes average as he will gain access to more powerful weaponry but lack the means to Follow-Up Attack. While Arden is quite strong, his choice of weapons and lack of Speed/Pursuit means his only real damage can come from single hits from B-level Swords until he promotes, resulting in extremely low damage. So while Arden can take damage well from physical sources, he is not very proficient at dishing it out.
A few chapters in, it is possible to obtain a Pursuit Ring for Arden. However, in almost all cases players choose to sell the ring to another character because Arden's very low Speed means he will not activate it very often. There are many other characters with higher Speed that lack Pursuit that can make much better use of the item (Naoise, Tailtiu, Lewyn, or Dew being much better choices). If Arden keeps the Pursuit Ring for himself, he can become fairly effective against Axe wielding units as they may have low enough Speed for Arden to Follow-Up Attack them. It is also possible to give him the Leg Ring in Chapter 3 giving him +3 movement.
Father Overview
Arden is one of the weaker father choices available in the game. Part of the reason for this is that Lex makes Arden obsolete. They have very similar growths they give to their children, with Arden giving slightly better Strength and Lex giving slightly better Skill, Defense, and Luck. They both give their children Vantage. Where they differ more significantly is that Arden is given more freedom to pass on weaponry to his children where Lex offers the Elite skill. Though Arden is outshone by Lex, he can still make some decent pairings.
Arden is best paired with Ayra or Tailtiu. The rest should generally be avoided due Magic-oriented children where his stats are a poor fit, his lack of Pursuit/skills in general, his poor overall growths, or some combination of all of those reasons making the pairings unremarkable.
- Ayra: Ulster and Larcei will automatically have Pursuit, and Vantage is a decent skill for them to inherit. They get some nice durability to survive frontline fighting and Strength growth to compliment their class. Arden will be able to pass on some good weapons to Ulster. This pairing is not particularly spectacular, but the children will turn out well nonetheless.
- Edain: Both are foot units, and the fact that Edain is a healer and stay behind due to being unable to defend herself before promotion, makes easy to pair them up. Arden has access to bows when promoted, and can pass bows to her son Lester, along with the pursuit ring. Their daughter Lana will have bulkier growths for a priest.
- Tailtiu: This pairing can be decent for the same reason Lex makes a good pair with Tailtiu; the Vantage and Wrath combo. While Tailtiu's children will have poor Magic growth, they will become explosive killing machines when being attacked. One problem with this pairing is that Arden will need the Magic Ring and Pursuit Ring to make Arthur a lot better, and the Pursuit Ring is usually heavily contested and often used by other, better characters.
Conversations
In Chapter 2, if Arden moves to a certain spot on the map, an event will occur, in which he will gain the Pursuit Ring.
In Chapter 5, if Arden moves to a certain spot on the map, an event will occur, in which he will gain five points of Skill.
In Chapter 5, after Phinora Castle is captured, if Erinys/Ayra and Arden are lovers, she may speak to him, but nothing will result of it.

A number of stalwart knights serve Chalphy, the duchy governed by the descendants of the crusader Baldr. This time, I'll be introducing Arden, one of the knights of Chalphy! | ||
|
Arden's allies often poke fun at him for being slow because he's weighed down by his heavy armor, but his unshakeable tenacity and fearsome swordsmanship make him the core of Chalphy's defenses! | ||
|
When the neighboring duchy of Yngvi came under invasion, Sigurd led a force from Chalphy to come to its aid. This left a shortage of manpower at the castle, but it was in good hands with Arden assigned to keep the place safe! | ||
|
So you can see that people rely on Arden a lot already, but he's got lofty goals for himself—he wants to be able to pull off flashy flurries of attacks and impress the love of his life, whoever she may be! I'm rooting for you, Arden! | ||
| Closely Associated Characters | |||
| Sigurd | Heir to Chalphy, descendant of the crusader Baldr, and Seliph's father. He's courageous and has a strong sense of justice. Arden's lord. | ||
| Alec | A knight of Chalphy in service to Duke Sigurd. He has a cheerful, breezy personality. Fought alongside Arden. | ||
