Brom is an axe general available for most of part 2, and joins Ike's group relatively early in chapter 3-2. He has good strength and defense base for part 2, complemented by 1-2 range axe usage. His base speed is too low to double almost anything, but not low enough to get doubled by enemy units. In chapter 2-1, he is defensively more reliable than Nephenee, and has better hitrates thanks to using an Iron Axe instead of a Steel Greatlance. He makes a good wall in 2-2 and 2-E, as those chapters have several chokepoints to block off. Note that he can use swords immediately, though they are significantly weaker than axes; the only use for swords is Wyrmslayer | Brom is an axe general available for most of part 2, and joins Ike's group relatively early in chapter 3-2.

Note that he can use swords immediately, though they are significantly weaker than axes; the only use for swords is Wyrmslayer, but he does not have the weapon level for it. Path of Radiance transfers do not benefit Brom much, as the only stat he reliably caps in PoR is defense, and he is also a mediocre unit in PoR. | ||

Even if Brom reached Gatrie's level, his important stats are lower than base Gatrie on average. In the long run, Brom has excellent health, luck, and defense growth, but his strength, skill, and speed growths are at best average, and not enough to catch up. He will also not cap these stats early enough to abuse BEXP. In addition, Brom starts at level 2, so he does not have the option for an instant early promotion like Gatrie does. Brom's join time is also when mounted units like Titania and Haar become more prevalent, so Brom's terrible movement hurts him significantly. If promoted, Brom can use lances, which lets him use the Horseslayer immediately; however, he cannot use the Spear. | ||

It also lets Heather steal enemy weapons more easily. As it is an innate skill, there is no reason to remove it manually if the player plans on using Brom more. Resolve helps Brom's offense as his skill and speed are mediocre, but other units can put it to better use. Provoke can be a valuable skill on him due to his excellent physical bulk. | ||
Brom has the water affinity which gives a bonus to attack and defense. Nephenee shares the same availability as him and appreciates those boosts, though her wind affinity does not benefit either unit much, so both units will only have +2 attack and defense at max support. Heather also has the same availability and has a fire affinity, so she and Brom will have a valuable +3 attack boost; however, she is a thief and is not a valuable combat unit. Anyone else who joins Ike's group on 3-2 with similar movement and gives an attack and/or defense boost will complement Brom's water affinity. | Brom has the water affinity which gives a bonus to attack and defense.
