Summary

The Nomad is a pretty balanced class. It doesn’t excel at anything, but it also doesn’t have any obvious flaws. Its balanced stats ensure that it can do pretty much whatever you want it to, but it won’t be quite as good at any particular task as a specialist. The Nomad’s real strength is in its support abilities. Building it correctly gives your entire team small, passive boosts whenever the Nomad is on the field. You can also build him as an orb runner, but I feel that other characters still do a better job even after he unlocks his masteries. Decent overall, but you’ll probably find yourself swapping the Nomad out for more specialized classes once you get a feel for them.
