“	Take me with you. I must...finish what I started...I think. I must fight with you.	”	— Nagi to Marth

Nagi (Japanese: ナギ Nagi) is a playable Manakete appearing in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. In both games that she appears in, there is little solid information about Nagi. However it is heavily implied, both in the dialogue and in the game data, that Nagi's true identity is Naga, the Divine Dragon King.

Biography

Nagi served as the master of the Alterspire, a structure located in alternate world not part of Archanea. There, she was guarded by soldiers called the Keepers and slumbered beneath the throne inside of a coffin bearing similar markings to ones found in the Fane of Raman. As described by Medeus, Nagi had apparently perished at some point. Prior to her slumber, she had been aware of Gotoh; at least his name.

In 605 AC, during the War of Shadows, Prince Marth was sent to the Alterspire by Gotoh to receive aid from Nagi in order to defeat Medeus. There, Marth had awoken Nagi, who provided Marth with Falchion and accompanied the Archanean League to Dolhr Keep in order to, as she put it, "finish what I started". Marth also asked if Nagi lost her memories, though she could not say for certain if such was the case. Inside the keep, Medeus remarked that Nagi was now revived like him—though lacking in her previous power—and told her that she stood no chance this time. After the war concluded, Nagi vanished.

In 608 AC, during the War of Heroes, Gotoh brought Nagi to the Dragon Altar and added her to the Altean League to aid Marth in the fight against Medeus; Nagi hoped that things would finally end this time. During this time, Nagi was known to believe that she was missing power from before. After the defeat of Medeus, Nagi said that she will return to her eternal sleep and subsequently vanished again, described to never appear in historical records since.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Role

Nagi with another Falchion, as depicted in Fire Emblem Cipher.

Nagi's primary gameplay purpose is to serve as a failsafe for the player. She is only recruited if Marth has failed to collect Falchion, and Tiki has either died or not been recruited. With her Divine Dragon power, and her possession of another Falchion, she is Marth's saving grace.

She first appears in Chapter 24x if the player completes Chapter 24 without Tiki and Falchion in their possession (although an exploit can be used to keep Falchion). If this occurs, Gotoh warns Marth that he does not possess the power to defeat Medeus and advises him to seek help from the guardian of a tower located in another realm. At the top of the tower, Marth meets Nagi, who agrees to join Marth's cause and rewards him with a weaker version of the original Falchion. During the battle with Medeus, Medeus remarks that he knows Nagi, but their relationship is unclear. She is also apparently familiar with Gotoh.

Analysis

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

Nagi is the final character recruited through a side quest and she only joins the player if Tiki is dead and the Falchion is not in the player's possession. Due to joining with the Divinestone Nagi does effective damage to enemy manaketes, along with being able to heavily damage Medeus, but since her speed cap is only 24 when counting the Divinestone boost, she gets doubled by Medeus on higher difficulties. Nagi also is not available in the preparations of the Endgame, but joins on turn 1, so she has to use stat-boosting items on the map. Due to being able to heavily damage Medeus with decent accuracy she can be revived with the Aum staff received in Chapter 24 to revive her and have her finish off Medeus in a single turn with the Warp staff. Counterintuitively, Nagi is less reliable than Tiki at this despite her better stats, as while she has higher hit, she has higher avoid and more importantly is two-shot rather than one-shot, meaning Medeus needs to connect twice to kill instead of once out of two attacks.

Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem

Role

Like in Shadow Dragon, Nagi serves as a powerful lategame unit to assist Marth in the last leg of his journey.

Nagi comes to Marth's aid once again, joining Marth's army of her own accord in Chapter 22, but Marth does not recognize her and only finds her familiar, possibly indicating Nagi's recruitment in Shadow Dragon did not occur.

Analysis

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

Nagi is one of the last characters to join in New Mystery of the Emblem. Her bases are not particularly high for such a late join time and her high growths do not matter much this late into the game, but her Divinestone makes up for those weaknesses. Because of her Divinestone she is one of the best dragonkillers in the last few chapters of the game, she cannot one shot the on Lunatic and Lunatic reverse so it is recommended to give her two energy drops or chip enemy dragons with a longbow sniper to give Nagi the ability to finish them off. Nagi is also fairly bulky, while her low speed ends up making her get doubled and one rounded by most enemies at this point in the game, she has high enough physical durability to survive a single enemy attack and has a very high resistance making her good against magic enemies, notably the Levin sword swordmaster in chapter 22. It should be noted that Nagi's Divinestone doesn't have effective damage on Medeus, making her a poor option for dealing with the final boss. Overall, Nagi is a good endgame filler unit that serves as fail-safe if you have not trained up Tiki and need some additional firepower against the large number of powerful enemy dragons.
