Alm Build Question (+Atk/-Res)

G’day! Looking for some advice here.
I have just come to the realisation that my Alm (+Atk/-Res) is worth the investment! I have a Lene with Sword Valor n using Tempest Trials he’s mega easy to SP right up!

I’m THINKING of loading him up with Moonbow + throwing Life n Death 3 into his A-Slot, giving him Reposition but unsure what would synergize for his C-Slot..

I know this will significantly decrease his ability to tank hits but with the right support team that should make him very strong as a player phase unit?

Any thoughts regarding this? Suggestions for build?

For C slot I'd go for maybe a wave skill if you have enough fodder or a tactic skill if you wanna use him on a tactic team. You can really just use C slot for what ever you want to use it for. And I'd maybe go for Death Blow instead of Life and Death, because it doesn't lower your defensive stats and gives more attack damage with that double on initiation.

Ahhh, I was only thinking the Life n Death 3 because it would bring his speed up in case he needs to hit a lance user then it would stop any counters. I have a 4* Klein I can fodder for Death blow 3 so will go with that thanks.

I do have a 4* Legault with Atk Tactic 3 just sitting on the shelf gathering dust so will give that a crack too. Thanks for the advice!

+atk -hp myself.

This is the set i use. Dragon fang and his good bulk (even with LnD thanks to his high hp) allows him to bait if he has to. It also maintains his offensive presence when out hia weapon effect range.

Remember that spd will add bulk by denying more folloup attacks. And hes the kind of unit you shouldnt be putting in harms way anyway so the decrease in defenses dont matter much

And ye. Slow bulky units tend to be the only ones to survive being doubled by him so windsweep is an option.

For c skill. Just put what u have available tbh.

Ahhhh Nice. I like the look of that too.

Beauty of the new skill sets is, I’m going to do both. Just set up Atk Tactic 3 n Death Blow 3. I think life n Death is next, Ive added Moonbow, when Synergized with the right S-Slot he should activate almost every turn.

I was thinking of running him in a squad with Fest. Elincia, Isthar n Innes (+1).

My Alm's also +Atk, and this is my suggestion build:
A: DeathBlow 3 (I used to put Atk +3 too but realized DB3 is better)
B: Renewal 2 (so he could heal 10HP during every second turn and also third turn from his Falchion)
C: Flexible, maybe Threaten Def3
S: Glimmer (to proc faster)

If you like windsweep, why not phantom spd? L&D is probably good with it.

The other option is what Lu Bu did, going for the quad, which is probably significantly harder without a spd boon, but I think Lu Bu assumed from the beginning that he would use a healer, for one, because he uses healers a lot anyways, and two, because L&D means Alm would take forever to regain brave effect otherwise. Since you're probably not merging him, I don't see why he shouldn't expect healer support, in which case why not put drive spd + hone spd seal on the healer (spd ploy might also work if your healer has enough res) and ally support and have 43+ spd (46 if you use spd seal) and quad stuff?

omfg, thank you for that - I was wondering what to use for the S-Slot. I don’t have a phantom Spd yet but I can forge it and enhance now.

I have a Priscilla set up with Drive Spd 3 so that will work well. She sitting on 36 Res so I think a Spd Ploy is a good match to her drive Spd. I think pairing up with my Ishtar should make Alm ultra powerful.

I would go for merges but it’s a slow process as I’m F2P for the most part, spend maybe $30 a month on orbs, $60 if a Legendary Banner is released. I’ve got lucky with L!Robins in free summons though and have a +4 on her! 😄.

I have to agree with the others. You need DB3, because Alm really only work on player phase anyway. Just make sure every skill he has contributes to his goal of oneturning on the player phase and keeping his health at 100%. That's pretty much his thing. But windsweep can still work with a LnD3 build if you have phantom speed 3 seal. Just pair him with a powerful blue mage and people to get him out of range after defeating someone and you're good.
