Niles is an [[Outlaw]] that joins on turn 2 of [[Cold Reception|chapter&nbsp;8]] in ''Conquest'', and on turn 3 of [[Black Flames|chapter&nbsp;17]] in ''Revelation''. His standout stats are [[speed]] and [[resistance]], which allow him to one-round the [[Dark Mage]]s in his join chapter at base, even on Lunatic. Unfortunately, he suffers from a weapon triangle disadvantage and has average [[skill (stat)|skill]], which may lead him to missing a few important hits; as such it's recommended to trade him a [[Skill Tonic]] to improve his accuracy. Other than that he is a useful combat unit for that point in the game. Niles also suffers from low [[strength]] and [[defense]], which harms both his damage output and his survivability. He comes with the skills [[Kidnap]] and [[Locktouch]] in both routes, along with [[Movement +1]] at base in ''Revelation''. Kidnap allows you to use the capture command to capture certain enemy units if you have a prison in [[My Castle]]. Locktouch allows him to open any chest and door without the use of keys. Lastly, Movement +1 grants him additional mobility, making it one of the best skills in ''Fates''.
Niles has the option to promote to either [[Adventurer]] or [[Bow Knight]]. Bow Knight gives Niles a mount and access to swords. Swords are mostly useless for Niles, but getting a mount in combination with his Movement +1 skill gives him 9 move, making him an excellent pair up partner for any unmounted units. While in the Bow Knight class, Niles learns the skills [[Shurikenbreaker]] and [[Rally Skill]]. Rally Skill is useful against hard to hit bosses and enemies, while Shurikenbreaker lowers the hit of enemy dagger or shuriken users. Thanks to the many [[Ninja]]s in the lategame of ''Conquest'' in combination with Niles' high speed and weapon triangle advantage, this makes Niles one of the few units able to reliably dodge them, making him extremely useful in [[Ryoma (chapter)|chapter&nbsp;25]]. Adventurer gives Niles access to staves, while he does at first only join with an E rank in staff he can be trained up to wield higher rank staves relatively quickly. While in the Adventurer class, Niles learns the skills [[Lucky Seven]] and [[Pass]]. Lucky Seven is is a helpful ability during chapters where the player is seriously pressed for time, notably [[Eternal Stairway|chapter&nbsp;21]], chapter&nbsp;25, and [[Night Breaks Through|the endgame]]. Pass in combination with a [[Rescue (staff)|rescue staff]] makes the endgame of ''Conquest'' much more bearable.
In ''Conquest'', him being the first unit with Locktouch, and likely the first bow user, as well as the only unit with ability to capture enemies makes Niles an excellent utility unit through the entire game. His earlygame combat is fairly good as well, being a great counter to the many fliers in [[Unhappy Reunion|chapter&nbsp;10]] and often doubling enemies with the use of tonics, as well as having good 2 range unlike most units and classes in ''Fates''. Niles's combat does drop off in the endgame as his mediocre [[strength]] make his combat weaker than the likes of Camilla and Xander, though he can still do decent chip damage thanks to the relatively high might of bows. He can also still find use as a pair up bot, and he'll likely retain his utility as a capturing unit. The standout units to capture are [[Haitaka]] from [[Another Trial|chapter&nbsp;9]], [[Kumagera]] from [[Voice of Paradise|chapter&nbsp;14]], a [[Master of Arms]] in [[Possessed|chapter&nbsp;23]] colloquially known as "Rallyman", [[Gazak]] from [[Abducted|paralogue 16]] and many more.
Niles is in a rather unfortunate position in ''Revelation'', joining relatively late, likely behind most of your other units with a lot of competition in terms of bow users, Locktouch users and even another unit with the ability to capture enemies ([[Orochi]]). Niles can still find use in some chapters for his great overall utility, but will likely not be a main team staple unless trained up to be on par with other units. His most reliable use in this path will likely be his [[pair up]] bonuses, granting others useful boosts to speed and movement.
On the subject of reclassing, Niles has access to magic based classes such as [[Dark Mage]], [[Sorcerer]] and [[Dark Knight]]. While Niles won't want to stay in these classes for long thanks to his low magic, he can still pick up useful skill in said classes. [[Heartseeker]] is a great utility skill against bosses, [[Seal Magic]] works nicely with a unit who has high resistance such as Niles, [[Vengeance]] is situational, but improves his combat slightly, and [[Lifetaker]] can be a great way to improve Niles' survivability, even if Niles isn't an enemy phase oriented unit.
Overall, Niles is a decent combat unit with excellent utility. Though he doesn't stand out as much in ''Revelation'', he's an invaluable asset in ''Conquest'', especially on Lunatic, thanks to his availability, his combat against enemy mages, and overall great utility thanks to his varied skills and classes.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Niles is an Outlaw that joins on turn 2 of chapter 8 in Conquest, and on turn 3 of chapter 17 in Revelation. His standout stats are speed and resistance, which allow him to one-round the Dark Mages in his join chapter at base, even on Lunatic. Unfortunately, he suffers from a weapon triangle disadvantage and has average skill, which may lead him to missing a few important hits; as such it's recommended to trade him a Skill Tonic to improve his accuracy. Other than that he is a useful combat unit for that point in the game. Niles also suffers from low strength and defense, which harms both his damage output and his survivability. He comes with the skills Kidnap and Locktouch in both routes, along with Movement +1 at base in Revelation. Kidnap allows you to use the capture command to capture certain enemy units if you have a prison in My Castle. Locktouch allows him to open any chest and door without the use of keys. Lastly, Movement +1 grants him additional mobility, making it one of the best skills in Fates.

Niles has the option to promote to either Adventurer or Bow Knight. Bow Knight gives Niles a mount and access to swords. Swords are mostly useless for Niles, but getting a mount in combination with his Movement +1 skill gives him 9 move, making him an excellent pair up partner for any unmounted units. While in the Bow Knight class, Niles learns the skills Shurikenbreaker and Rally Skill. Rally Skill is useful against hard to hit bosses and enemies, while Shurikenbreaker lowers the hit of enemy dagger or shuriken users. Thanks to the many Ninjas in the lategame of Conquest in combination with Niles' high speed and weapon triangle advantage, this makes Niles one of the few units able to reliably dodge them, making him extremely useful in chapter 25. Adventurer gives Niles access to staves, while he does at first only join with an E rank in staff he can be trained up to wield higher rank staves relatively quickly. While in the Adventurer class, Niles learns the skills Lucky Seven and Pass. Lucky Seven is is a helpful ability during chapters where the player is seriously pressed for time, notably chapter 21, chapter 25, and the endgame. Pass in combination with a rescue staff makes the endgame of Conquest much more bearable.

In Conquest, him being the first unit with Locktouch, and likely the first bow user, as well as the only unit with ability to capture enemies makes Niles an excellent utility unit through the entire game. His earlygame combat is fairly good as well, being a great counter to the many fliers in chapter 10 and often doubling enemies with the use of tonics, as well as having good 2 range unlike most units and classes in Fates. Niles's combat does drop off in the endgame as his mediocre strength make his combat weaker than the likes of Camilla and Xander, though he can still do decent chip damage thanks to the relatively high might of bows. He can also still find use as a pair up bot, and he'll likely retain his utility as a capturing unit. The standout units to capture are Haitaka from chapter 9, Kumagera from chapter 14, a Master of Arms in chapter 23 colloquially known as "Rallyman", Gazak from paralogue 16 and many more.

Niles is in a rather unfortunate position in Revelation, joining relatively late, likely behind most of your other units with a lot of competition in terms of bow users, Locktouch users and even another unit with the ability to capture enemies (Orochi). Niles can still find use in some chapters for his great overall utility, but will likely not be a main team staple unless trained up to be on par with other units. His most reliable use in this path will likely be his pair up bonuses, granting others useful boosts to speed and movement.

On the subject of reclassing, Niles has access to magic based classes such as Dark Mage, Sorcerer and Dark Knight. While Niles won't want to stay in these classes for long thanks to his low magic, he can still pick up useful skill in said classes. Heartseeker is a great utility skill against bosses, Seal Magic works nicely with a unit who has high resistance such as Niles, Vengeance is situational, but improves his combat slightly, and Lifetaker can be a great way to improve Niles' survivability, even if Niles isn't an enemy phase oriented unit.

Overall, Niles is a decent combat unit with excellent utility. Though he doesn't stand out as much in Revelation, he's an invaluable asset in Conquest, especially on Lunatic, thanks to his availability, his combat against enemy mages, and overall great utility thanks to his varied skills and classes.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

There are two different variations of Niles available to Heroes, both of which are tied to his storyline appearance in Fates. The normal variation of Niles is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch. A Halloween variation of Niles was made available between the period of October 10, 2018 through November 9, 2018 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the The Land's Bounty update.

Trivia

  • Niles is the first male Fire Emblem series character to be able to get an S-rank support with another male character, and thus the first male character to be able to engage in a same-sex marriage.
  • Niles' eyepatch is available as an accessory in My Castle.
  • Through hacking, it is possible to see Niles' eye hidden underneath his eyepatch for his Private Quarters model in Fire Emblem Fates. The hidden eye is not rigged to any animations, nor is there anything underneath, and thus remains closed.[2]
