* CrutchCharacter: Possesses high stats for his level, and has some of the most availabiltiy across all three modes. Unfortunately, his impressive HP growths are undermined by his supbar Defense and Resistance growths, taking out larger chunks of health while requiring more powerful healing staves to recover him to full health. Even worse, both his offensive ''and'' defensive capabilities are stunted by his paltry Speed, which prevents him from doubling and puts him at risk of being doubled himself. With Lyn Mode investment, he could carry the player through Hector Mode's EarlyGameHell as [[RecurringElement designated Oifey archetype]] Marcus does, even being immediately capable of wielding the Silver Axe in "Talons Alight" with enough dedication. However, his low Speed makes him likely to fall behind other axe users.

* AwesomeButImpractical: After you [[spoiler:kill Sonia]], you can promote Matthew into a second Jaffar... or you can sell the promotion item for 32,500 Gold, [[ScoringPoints keeping your Funds ranking up]]. Getting Matthew up to or near Jaffar's level of killing power is quite expensive, especially since he doesn't improve that much just from promoting; he's still stuck with Swords, he gets only a single point of Strength out of his promotion, and his Crit rate (what's needed for [[OneHitKill Lethality]]) probably won't be that good for a while. On top of all that, promoting takes the ability to [[VideoGameStealing Steal]] out of his hands.
