Basically, he's really useful if you also sacrifice a spirit slot to bring a pan-shielder. Otherwise, he'll still receive 50% of the damage thrown his way, which will most likely get rid of his multiplier, anyway. This is given, of course, that you can prevent his HP from dropping below 90% 'til you've charged your shielder.

Comparison (vanilla | fully released):

Nomotoh: 5911 | 6699 (+8)

Michaela: 4193 | 4710 (+100 ATK to Fire, +180% nuke)

Nomoth requires you to not only sacrifice a Special Skill slot but also a spirit slot if you want to keep his HP up to prevent him from losing his multiplier. If he ever loses his multiplier, he automatically gets outdamaged by basically every other fire hard hitter in the game. Nomoth further lacks team boosting Hidden Powers.
