Rath joins almost halfway through the game as a level 9 [[Nomad]] with a B-rank in bows and good enough base stats to contribute from the moment he joins. He is one of the most unique units in ''The Blazing Blade'' because of his class – he is the only [[Nomad]] in this entry. | Rath joins almost halfway through the game as a level 9 [[Nomad]] with a B-rank in bows and good enough base stats to contribute from the moment he joins. He is one of the most unique units in ''The Blazing Blade'' because of his class – he is the only [[Nomad]] in this entry. | ||
[[Nomad]]s are mounted bow users with higher terrain resistance than other cavalry units. This becomes useful in chapters such as Pale Flower of Darkness ([[Eliwood]] Mode Chapter 24, [[Hector]] Mode Chapter 26), where the plentiful snow slows down most of the player's army. Nomads can also cross forests unimpeded, unlike other cavalry units. This makes Rath's mobility comparable to that of a flier, excluding the ability to move over hills and mountains. | [[Nomad]]s are mounted bow users with higher terrain resistance than other cavalry units.

Rath has a low constitution for a male unit, and as a male unit, he gains a +5 bonus to his aid compared to female units. This, coupled with his high mobility, makes him one of the best rescuers in ''The Blazing Blade''. There are few units with a constitution high enough to prevent Rath from carrying them. For example, Rath can even carry [[Hector]] around. | Rath has a low constitution for a male unit, and as a male unit, he gains a +5 bonus to his aid compared to female units.

As for combat, Rath has an excellent B-rank in bows, letting him use the [[Brave Bow]] with no investment. In Four-Fanged Offense (Eliwood Mode Chapter 23, Hector Mode Chapter 24), Rath can safely chip away at the boss from 2-range and even kill him in one round if one of the attacks is a crit. [[Javelin]]s and [[Hand Axe]]s are not going to achieve this, so Rath giving the player that option is useful. | As for combat, Rath has an excellent B-rank in bows, letting him use the [[Brave Bow]] with no investment.

One important fact about Rath is that [[Lyn]] Mode is a detriment to him, unlike other Lyn Mode units. Lyn Mode Rath has a base level of 7 instead of 9 and a C-rank in bows instead of a B-rank. Rath may still gain Lyn Mode levels, but since his level is much higher than the level of other units there, he will gain experience slower. He will also not reach B-rank bows in Lyn Mode unless the player gives him incredible favoritism. | One important fact about Rath is that [[Lyn]] Mode is a detriment to him, unlike other Lyn Mode units.

He will also not reach B-rank bows in Lyn Mode unless the player gives him incredible favoritism. | ||
Assuming the player has not played Lyn Mode, Rath will join both Eliwood and Hector Mode at level 9, one level away from promotion. Rath's promotion to [[Nomad Trooper]] is quite good. It gives him significant statistical bonuses, especially in defensive stats – he gains +3 defense, +3 resistance, and +3 HP. He also gains a point of movement, a point of constitution, and 40 weapon experience in bows, bringing him to A-rank. This lets Rath use the [[Silver Bow]], light enough for him to wield without a speed penalty, unlike the Brave Bow. He also gets closer to wielding the [[Rienfleche]] in the endgame if the player wants to deploy Rath there. The promotion also gives Rath a way to fight at 1-range by granting him E-rank swords. Swords are the worst melee weapon type in ''The Blazing Blade'' because of the high number of enemy lance users and the lack of good 2-range options, but they are still a 1-range option, something unpromoted Rath does not have. He will still perform better with bows, but if attacking from 1-range would be preferable (for example, when attacking a 2-range enemy), Rath will be able to do it. | Assuming the player has not played Lyn Mode, Rath will join both Eliwood and Hector Mode at level 9, one level away from promotion.

Rath can also use the [[Longbow]] to attack enemies without getting countered – by hitting them from 3-range. While he is unlikely to double with it at first, considering it weighs him down, it is still useful. This is especially helpful in Genesis (Eliwood Mode's Chapter 22x, Hector Mode's Chapter 23x). The chapter is notoriously difficult, but Rath makes it easier in several ways. He can chip away at enemies by using a Longbow without getting counterattacked, and he can also rapidly destroy walls by attacking them with a Brave Bow. | Rath can also use the [[Longbow]] to attack enemies without getting countered – by hitting them from 3-range.

Rath's major flaw is a lack of access to 1-2 range. He has 2-range before promotion and 1-range after promotion, but never both at the same time. Being a good combat unit in ''The Blazing Blade'' requires 1-2 range access, and Rath never having it relegates him to a support role. | Rath's major flaw is a lack of access to 1-2 range.
