=== | ===Analysis=== | ||
{{analysis}} | |||
Colm is the first thief that the player will get in ''The Sacred Stones'', and is one of two if only considering units who perform such roles by default. His early joining time and weak enemies give him some room to grow, although for much of the game he will have trouble harming or surviving against [[Knight|Knights]] and other high defense lance units. As a Thief, he can [[steal]], use [[Lockpick|lockpicks]], and see further into [[Fog of War]]. His lockpick utility is limited, however, as Chest Keys are buyable from the overworld. As such, he will initially see use for that reason alone, although he arguably has the best combat potential of the Game Boy Advance-era Thieves and can serve as a fairly potent combatant as well. The item for [[class change]] that Colm uses is the [[Ocean Seal]], and unless [[Ross]] promoted to [[Pirate]], he is the only one who uses it. His starting combat statistics are not very good, especially considering that 4 base strength, but his growth rates can make him at least serviceable. It should be warned that in the international versions of the game, an enemy Thief in his join chapter can steal his lockpick, which is not possible for him to retrieve without gaining one point of speed by leveling up. | |||
As an [[Assassin]], Colm will gain [[Lethality|Silencer]], which can instantly kill any target except for [[Fomortiis]]. He also gets access to the [[Shamshir]] sword, which has a hefty 35 critical, which bodes well for him as Silencer uses half of his critical rate and doubles his experience when it activates, allowing him to level up quickly for a promoted unit. However, Silencer is unreliable, and somewhat superfluous given that a critical will usually kill (except against bosses, but Silencer happens even less often against them), and Silencer will happen on average one every two criticals. He also loses the ability to steal, which can deter players from going that route in favor of his alternate promotion, the [[Rogue]]. As a Rogue, Colm will not perform nearly as well in combat, but will not even need lockpicks anymore due to the [[Locktouch|Pick]] skill, which allows him to open anything for free. He also retains his ability to steal, which can be helpful for later chapters where enemies have items that benefit them, but can be stolen, such as [[Caellach]] and the [[Hoplon Guard]] in [[Scorched Sand|Chapter 15]]. Both classes have identical maximum statistics, although the low cap of 20 for strength, defense, and resistance can be a pain. | |||
Colm's best support option is, without a shadow of a doubt, [[Neimi]], whose [[Fire (affinity)|Fire affinity]] compliments him by buffing his attack and critical hit rate. The true strength of this support, however, is its speed, being among the fastest supports in the game and already coming with a C support. If the player seeks to use Colm as an Assassin, having him support Neimi is highly recommended, as his chances for activating Silencer become much higher. [[Rennac]], the other default thief, can also boost Colm's critical hit rate with his [[Dark (affinity)|Dark affinity]], while serving as the new stealer for the rest of the game should Colm be an Assassin. [[Moulder]] (who has [[Anima (affinity)|Anima]]), [[Marisa]], and [[Kyle]] (who both have [[Ice]]) all increase his defenses, which can help him survive hits. However, the latter four all have dramatically slower supports, so they will take far longer to kick into effect. | |||

Colm is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Calling of Blood]] update, and became available for summoning by players on January 7, 2022. Only one variation of Colm is currently available in ''Heroes'', based on his ''The Sacred Stones'' incarnation. | |||

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Colm is the first thief that the player will get in The Sacred Stones, and is one of two if only considering units who perform such roles by default. His early joining time and weak enemies give him some room to grow, although for much of the game he will have trouble harming or surviving against Knights and other high defense lance units. As a Thief, he can steal, use lockpicks, and see further into Fog of War. His lockpick utility is limited, however, as Chest Keys are buyable from the overworld. As such, he will initially see use for that reason alone, although he arguably has the best combat potential of the Game Boy Advance-era Thieves and can serve as a fairly potent combatant as well. The item for class change that Colm uses is the Ocean Seal, and unless Ross promoted to Pirate, he is the only one who uses it. His starting combat statistics are not very good, especially considering that 4 base strength, but his growth rates can make him at least serviceable. It should be warned that in the international versions of the game, an enemy Thief in his join chapter can steal his lockpick, which is not possible for him to retrieve without gaining one point of speed by leveling up.
As an Assassin, Colm will gain Silencer, which can instantly kill any target except for Fomortiis. He also gets access to the Shamshir sword, which has a hefty 35 critical, which bodes well for him as Silencer uses half of his critical rate and doubles his experience when it activates, allowing him to level up quickly for a promoted unit. However, Silencer is unreliable, and somewhat superfluous given that a critical will usually kill (except against bosses, but Silencer happens even less often against them), and Silencer will happen on average one every two criticals. He also loses the ability to steal, which can deter players from going that route in favor of his alternate promotion, the Rogue. As a Rogue, Colm will not perform nearly as well in combat, but will not even need lockpicks anymore due to the Pick skill, which allows him to open anything for free. He also retains his ability to steal, which can be helpful for later chapters where enemies have items that benefit them, but can be stolen, such as Caellach and the Hoplon Guard in Chapter 15. Both classes have identical maximum statistics, although the low cap of 20 for strength, defense, and resistance can be a pain.
Colm's best support option is, without a shadow of a doubt, Neimi, whose Fire affinity compliments him by buffing his attack and critical hit rate. The true strength of this support, however, is its speed, being among the fastest supports in the game and already coming with a C support. If the player seeks to use Colm as an Assassin, having him support Neimi is highly recommended, as his chances for activating Silencer become much higher. Rennac, the other default thief, can also boost Colm's critical hit rate with his Dark affinity, while serving as the new stealer for the rest of the game should Colm be an Assassin. Moulder (who has Anima), Marisa, and Kyle (who both have Ice) all increase his defenses, which can help him survive hits. However, the latter four all have dramatically slower supports, so they will take far longer to kick into effect.

Personality
Colm is quite harsh and mocking, shown in his conversations with Neimi. However, he does care for her, and may be only trying to get Neimi to be less sensitive. Often he only thinks about himself, but other times he can be very chivalrous. He is young, probably around the same age as Neimi, but still is a skilled thief. In his B support with Kyle, it is shown that he hates studying.
Originally he came from a village called Lark, but it was burnt down by Bazba's Bandits. As he and Neimi had nowhere to go, he joined Eirika's army. He may have feelings for Neimi, and they can marry and have two children if they receive an A support level. In his B support conversation with Rennac, he states that his father made he and his brothers work hard. In his C support with Kyle, he says his mother used to make a remedy for freckles and insomnia.

Endings
Colm, Good-Natured Thief
He politely refused an invitation to become a spy for Renais, returning instead to his hometown. He spent the rest of his days as a chivalrous rogue helping those in need from the shadows.
Colm and Neimi
The childhood friends became lovers first, then husband and wife. Worried for Neimi's well-being, Colm gave up his adventurer's ways. Neimi passed on her grandfather's skill in archery to her own son and daughter.
