Nomah

Nomah is a Sage from Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. He is 71 years old.

Profile[]

Nomah is the wise Sage who trained and raised Celica after Mycen sent her to the Priory to keep her safe. He initially briefs her on the dangers of Celica's journey. He joins at the beginning of Chapter 4 after going through a hidden passage in the Temple of Mila. After the war, Nomah became the high priest of the united faith of Mila and Duma.

Personality[]

Nomah is a kindhearted and gentle man that despite his age still has energy, with a light sense of humor. He is proud of the children raised in the Priory on Novis, and though he kept Celica safe and in hiding as she grew up, he allows her to seek her own path when she elects to leave the island for mainland Valentia.

Nomah is one of the weakest units in Gaiden. He has good Skill and Resistance, but given the fact that Magic user's Accuracy rates are not affected by Skill, it only really helps boost his Critical hit chance. His Speed is quite low, a common problem among most Mage units in Gaiden. His low Speed combined with his low Luck, Evasion, Defense, and HP makes Nomah the most fragile unit in the entire game, a quality that seriously hurts his late game potential. He comes with Sagittae, allowing him to deal respectable single attack damage, but he has to get close to the enemy to do so which is extremely dangerous for him. Even though he is capable of reasonably high damage, all other Mage units are capable of dealing more than him. He lacks Thunder, making him a strictly 2 range unit, and his spell list is more limited than any non-Villager Mage.

Still, Nomah is not entirely without his uses. As with any character promoted to Sage, he can act as a healer with his Recover spell. He is capable of doing decent damage and finishing off enemy units at mid-level health, or weakening them considerably. However, you MUST ensure that nothing in the area can attack him or he is likely to die.

All in all, Nomah is not really worth using. He is far too fragile and requires too much protecting for the least payoff. Any other ranged unit in the entire game will be preferable to him for one reason or another, so it is best for him to simply act as a backup healer or a battery for your better Mage units.

Overall[]

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Nomah remains an overall weak unit in Echoes. Despite having a decent starting Skill and excellent Resistance, he has low starting Luck, Speed, and Defense, making him very weak to physical assaults and prone to receiving critical hits. He has the second lowest combined stat growths out of all playable characters in Echoes, only beating out Mycen. All this combined makes him a poor character when compared to the rest of the cast, especially when Boey is already in Celica's army and present long before Nomah is recruited.

On a more positive note, Nomah has gained a better ability to attack from a distance. With the upgraded range from Sagittae and a new spell in Thunder, Nomah can now weaken enemies from further away in support of other characters.

Overall, Nomah is not a strong unit and will require the player to selectively train him in the hopes of getting decent stats for each of his Level Up stat increases. He does give Support bonuses for Celica, Mae, Boey, and Genny and later Mycen. However, Nomah will not be able to fully compete with Boey as a Sage.
