====Overall====
Unlike his appearance in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', Leaf is much weaker in this game. It is recommended to scroll-abuse him in order to prevent him from becoming a liability to the army in the long run. He comes with the powerful [[Light Sword]] and the [[Adept|Continue]] skill, which contribute to his usefulness. Leif Promotes at the end of Chapter 18.
+
Compared to his appearance in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', Leif is much weaker in this game, thanks to his mediocre base stats, and growth. However, Leif has tons of perks that make him a pretty solid character in his own rights.
  +
  +
Leif has the ability [[Continue]], which allows him to get an extra attack at times. Leif's [[Light Sword]] is pretty useful thanks to its 1-2 range Magical attack property, +10 Luck bonus and 60 uses. It can also act as a Vulnerary, but you are better off using an actual Vulnerary over a use of the [[Light Sword]].
  +
  +
It is recommended to give the chapter 1 - 3 Life, Shield, and Speed Ring to Leif to patch up his low stats, since the only early game characters who is still alvailable to use in Manster are Leif, [[Eyvel]] (for a VERY short time), and [[Lifis]]. A stats boosted Leif is arguably the best unit in the team during Manster other than [[Brighton]], thanks to the Magical property of the Light Sword and the massive amount of high defense enemies during Manster. Following the end of Manster, Leif is still a capable unit, but his massive amounts of combat during Manster, followed by his late game promotion will made him lag a bit compared to your other units.
  +
  +
To make up for his base and growth, you can throw him some Scrolls. Despite its marginal at best boost, Leif promotion is a blessing in disguise in this regards, since he gains the hidden [[Paragon]] skill, which allows Leif to quickly catch up his stats deficiency with a proper Scrolls.
  +
  +
Finally, Leif has a massive amount of supported units that allow him to boost another units by being near with them. Notably, Leif supported has a two sided support triangle with both [[Nanna]] and [[Finn]]. This traits can be further enchanced by giving Leif the [[King Sword]], which is pretty useful in some tough chapters with thick enemy density. This is made even better thanks to being the main Lord. Leif is unaffected by the [[fatigue]] mechanic so he can always provide this bonus.
  +
  +
Overall, Leif is essentially a clutch during early game who falls down, and later on is given a chance to catch up. A useful character in his own rights, thanks to being always available to use.

“You think I don't know that? I've been praying for this day to come, you know... My father's dying wish was to return peace to the Thracian Peninsula. And I'll do whatever is necessary to end King Bloom's reign.”
—Leif

Leif (リーフ Riifu, Leaf in the Japanese version), full name Leif Faris Claus (リーフ・ ファリス・クラウス Rīfu Farisu Kurausu), is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 and Fire Emblem: Awakening. He is the prince of Leonster, the son of Quan and Ethlyn, brother of Altena, the nephew of Sigurd, the cousin of Seliph, and the grandson of Vylon (Ethlyn's side of the family) and Calf (Quan's side of the family). He is the descendant of Noba on Quan's side and Baldur on Ethlyn's side.

After the fall of Leonster, he managed to flee, alongside Finn and Nanna. After hiding out at several cities such as that of Alster and Tahra, Leif finally settled down in a small village known as Fiana. He inherits the iconic Light Sword from his late mother, Ethlyn, which is, incidentally, his personal weapon in the events of Thracia 776.

Leif is revealed to be 15 years of age in the events of Thracia 776, and 16 in the events of Genealogy of the Holy War.

Overall

Compared to his appearance in Genealogy of the Holy War, Leif is much weaker in this game, thanks to his mediocre base stats, and growth. However, Leif has tons of perks that make him a pretty solid character in his own rights.

Leif has the ability Continue, which allows him to get an extra attack at times. Leif's Light Sword is pretty useful thanks to its 1-2 range Magical attack property, +10 Luck bonus and 60 uses. It can also act as a Vulnerary, but you are better off using an actual Vulnerary over a use of the Light Sword.

It is recommended to give the chapter 1 - 3 Life, Shield, and Speed Ring to Leif to patch up his low stats, since the only early game characters who is still alvailable to use in Manster are Leif, Eyvel (for a VERY short time), and Lifis. A stats boosted Leif is arguably the best unit in the team during Manster other than Brighton, thanks to the Magical property of the Light Sword and the massive amount of high defense enemies during Manster. Following the end of Manster, Leif is still a capable unit, but his massive amounts of combat during Manster, followed by his late game promotion will made him lag a bit compared to your other units.

To make up for his base and growth, you can throw him some Scrolls. Despite its marginal at best boost, Leif promotion is a blessing in disguise in this regards, since he gains the hidden Paragon skill, which allows Leif to quickly catch up his stats deficiency with a proper Scrolls.

Finally, Leif has a massive amount of supported units that allow him to boost another units by being near with them. Notably, Leif supported has a two sided support triangle with both Nanna and Finn. This traits can be further enchanced by giving Leif the King Sword, which is pretty useful in some tough chapters with thick enemy density. This is made even better thanks to being the main Lord. Leif is unaffected by the fatigue mechanic so he can always provide this bonus.

Overall, Leif is essentially a clutch during early game who falls down, and later on is given a chance to catch up. A useful character in his own rights, thanks to being always available to use.

Etymology

Leif's name could be derived from 'Leif', a name of Scandinavian origin which befittingly means "heir" or "descendant". In Norse Mythology, Lif (closer to the japanese pronunciation) was the name of the woman who survived Ragnarok and means "Life". Leif's name could also be a reference to Lugh, a deity from Irish mythology who was the son of Cian (Quan) and Ethnia (Ethlyn).
