Unit Analysis by Team BethelFrankel
Class
Incredibly potent Shielder with synergies in... Fire?
Overall
B (A- at BT2)
(S- (N))
Advantages
+Shielding output and DEF boost can be decent with proper setup
+Conversion to HP means shield is not entirely wasted
+Shield is strong enough to prevent unavoidable one-shot attacks.
+Synergizes extremely well with Lilica, allowing Noah to output insane levels of damage with her shields
Disadvantages
-Only one turn duration means shields are often wasted except against burst damage
-Extremely awkward to setup shields due to requiring conversion (usually to match to enemy's attack patterns)
-Only useful when paired with Lilica, who is a unit from another element
Explanation
Noah has gained a lot of value over the years. On release, she was arguably worse than Zoya as a defensive Flex unit; now, she’s not only a decent defensive option in her own right, but also an oddly powerful partner for the Fire unit Lilica. As of writing, Noah sees some use in endgame stages where she prevents otherwise lethal attacks from wiping out teams. She also sees some use in Lilica teams, which convert her massive shields into respectable DEF-ignoring damage. Against 2x2 enemies, Noah’s shield in Lilica teams can hit for over 160,000 damage! With all that said, Noah is still relatively niche and largely outclassed by Philyshy. Don’t build her if you have any ongoing gaps in your roster.
