Naoise is available for the entirety of the first generation. As his stats show, Naoise is a more Strength/Defense-focused cavalier than his comrade Alec. Like all mounted units in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', Naoise comes with a superior version of the Canto skill that allows him to finish moving after attacking. However, Naoise notably lacks the all-important [[Follow-Up]] skill. Without that skill, no unit in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' can double attack, even if they are faster than the enemy. Instead, Naoise has [[Accost]], which he will have a hard time activating due to his low speed. He also has [[Critical (skill)|Critical]]. The downside of having these two skills instead of Follow-Up is that they are unreliable, whereas Follow-Up is reliable. This limits Naoise's combat potential and prevents him from defeating enemies in one round of combat. As a result, Naoise can seem underwhelming. However, since mounted units dominate ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' and Naoise is among them, he can still contribute here and there.
 
Naoise requires adequate equipment to surpass mediocrity. The [[Follow-Up Ring]] is a valuable item for Naoise because it gives him the titular skill, allowing him to double attack. While there is intense competition for it, Naoise is one of few mounted candidates for the item. Therefore, he will get to make use of it more often than unmounted units. A useful weapon for Naoise is the [[Brave Sword]], although it is possibly even more competitive than the Follow-Up Ring. Every sword user with a B rank in swords can excel at combat with this weapon because it is arguably the best sword in the game, excluding holy weapons. It has good stats, strikes twice even if its user cannot double the enemy, and four times if they can. With the Brave Sword and the Follow-Up Ring, Naoise can become a very capable combat unit, especially combined with his existing skills, [[Accost]] and Critical. However, this is still a significant investment, and without it, Naoise's contributions will be average.
 
As a father, Naoise is useful to children who do not need Pursuit but could benefit from Accost and Critical. He is an acceptable option for [[Ayra]] as he can pass down a fair bit of Strength, Accost, and B-rank swords to [[Scáthach]]. With [[Erinys]], [[Fee]] and [[Ced]] benefit from Critical and Accost (giving both three multi-attack skills), and Fee benefits from Naoise's high strength. Ced's magic growth will suffer, but Ced can usually survive on his base magic alone as a pre-promoted unit.
 
Overall, Naoise is a passable unit in the first generation and can fill in as a substitute father in specific scenarios.
