'''Boah''' (Japanese: {{hl|ボア|Boa}} ''Boha'') was a bishop and royal advisor in the service of the [[Archanea (country)|Holy Kingdom of Archanea]]. He was tasked by the king with escorting Princess [[Nyna]] out of [[Pales]] as the forces of [[Dolhr]] moved in at the onset of the [[War of Shadows]], and was captured and imprisoned for the rest of the war, until Nyna returned with [[Marth]]'s forces to reclaim Pales.

Boah joins in [[The Ageless Palace|Chapter 12]] as a pre-promoted [[Bishop]], the second in the game after [[Wendell]]. Of the two, Boah has higher base stats in [[skill (stat)|skill]], [[strength]], and [[speed]], equal base stats in [[weapon level]], [[HP]], and [[resistance]], and inferior bases in [[defense]]; however, his growths are significantly worse in every stat except speed and defense. Also, since Wendell has much better availability and good growths, it is likely he has already surpassed Boah by the time he is recruited. Still, Boah has a high enough weapon level to use every [[tome]] and [[staff]] in the game, and being able to use these items gives him tremendous utility, even though he is overall a bit weaker than Wendell. Ultimately, Boah is a very useful unit, either as a replacement for Wendell or for additional utility, and is well worth a deployment slot. | Boah joins in [[The Ageless Palace|Chapter 12]] as a pre-promoted [[Bishop]], the second in the game after [[Wendell]].

After the War of Shadows, Boah and several other Archanean nobles had decided to, for the purpose of the restoration of Archanea, strongly encourage Nyna to marry Prince [[Hardin]] of [[Aurelis]]; though initially reluctant, out of continued feelings for the lost [[Camus]] and of a lack thereof for Hardin, but eventually gave in to the pressure. Some time into the marriage, Hardin learned of this and of Nyna's lack of reciprocation of his love for her, and this is what caused him to enter a deep depression, paving the way for [[Gharnef]] to enter the palace disguised as a merchant, offer him the [[Darksphere]] and twist him into a vicious despot. | After the War of Shadows, Boah and several other Archanean nobles had decided to, for the purpose of the restoration of Archanea, strongly encourage Nyna to marry Prince [[Hardin]] of [[Aurelis]]; though initially reluctant, out of continued feelings for the lost [[Camus]] and of a lack thereof for Hardin, but eventually gave in to the pressure.

At some point afterward, Hardin attacked and gravely wounded Boah for his role in the marriage to Nyna. Boah survived long enough to encounter Marth as he prepared to storm Pales itself and end Hardin's tyranny, and explained to Marth and [[Jagen]] his role in Hardin's rise, expressing great regret for it. Boah then dies and, as such, is not playable. | At some point afterward, Hardin attacked and gravely wounded Boah for his role in the marriage to Nyna.

Boah joins in Chapter 12 as a level 1 pre-promoted [[Bishop]]. His base stats are poor overall, and his growths are also low. Boah can survive one hit with less than 27 [[attack (stat)|attack]]; he can usually survive in lower difficulties if he is not doubled, but in higher difficulties, he will get one-rounded by most enemies. | Boah joins in Chapter 12 as a level 1 pre-promoted [[Bishop]]. His base stats are poor overall, and his growths are also low. Boah can survive one hit with less than 27 [[attack (stat)|attack]]; he can usually survive in lower difficulties if he is not doubled, but in higher difficulties, he will get one-rounded by most enemies. Notably, this allows him to take one hit from a flier through Chapter 15 on H5, and his base Magic allows him to one-shot in retaliation with [[Excalibur]]. Boah's base Magic allows him to reclass to Sage and continue to one-shot fliers in Chapter 16 if he grows Magic once or reaches A-rank in tomes. Unlike his main competition [[Wendell]], his Speed is sadly insufficient to protect him from being doubled by enemy fliers. | ||

His C rank in staves allows him to use [[Warp]] and [[Physic]], making him a useful support unit, while his B rank in tomes allows him to use most available tomes, including Excalibur. Other units like [[Lena]] and Wendell excel as support units and are available earlier, but Boah can still contribute with no investment. Additionally, as he is already promoted, Boah does not need to compete for a [[Master Seal]] to gain higher stats from promoted classes. | ||

Boah feels his country fell from grace after Dolhr's attack during the War of Shadows. He wants to aid Princess Nyna in political affairs, even going as far as to suggest she marries someone of foreign blood with haste against her wishes. His concerns for Archanea's future outweigh what concerns he has for Nyna's personal feelings. | |||
