Kain is a playable character in Final Fantasy IV. He is a Dragoon, donning heavy armor and able to use Jump that deals a heavy blow after momentarily removing Kain from the battlefield. He wields spears and is physically-geared. He is left-handed.

Quests

Kain starts the game as the first party member to accompany Cecil, and is removed from the party upon arriving at the village of Mist.

He later rejoins the party with Rosa at the top of the Tower of Zot, and leaves again after completing the events at the Sealed Cave.

Kain's final return to the party occurs after the events at the Giant of Babil, and he is a permanent party member for the remainder of the game. In the Advance and Complete Collection versions, all party members except Cecil have the option of being swapped in or out after the Giant of Babil.

Abilities

Kain's special ability is Jump, which allows him to deal extra damage via an aerial attack. While Kain is airborne, he cannot be targeted and thus avoids attacks. In the Advance and Complete Collection releases, completing Kain's Lunar Trial and defeating Lunar Bahamut rewards him with the Dragoon Gauntlets, which upgrades Jump to Double Jump, which does more damage and executes faster.

While Kain cannot cast magic the data in the SNES version contains a two-frame animated sprite for Kain casting spells, as all other spellcasters have. The Final Fantasy IV Settei Shiryou Shuu shows a screenshot of Kain with a White Magic command, and there is an unused empty magic spell list that based on the internal character order, was intended for him.

Equipment

Kain can equip spears, most swords, axes, daggers, hats, helms, clothes, armors, gloves and rings. The first time he joins, he wears a set of iron equipment and a spear. The second time, he wears a set of mythril equipment and a wind spear. The third time, he wears a set of genji equipment and a gungnir.

In the Advance and Complete Collection versions he acquires his ultimate weapon, Abel's Lance, from the Lunar Bahamut. In all other releases, Kain's strongest exclusive weapon is the Holy Lance.
