Neutral Alm

Alm pity-broke me last night (going for summer innes, no green orbs) and I didn't have him yet so it didn't bother me TOO much (Leo and Ayra also pity-broke me for Innes, didnt have either of them, but thats besides the point)

Is there a recommended build for a Neutral Alm? Or is he safe to run pretty much anything I want?

He's fine. Most of the time, his only important stat is attack due to his refined Falchion having a Brave effect.

Neutral is never a bad stat spread. Alm should still be more than capable of running his default set.

He's still going to kill a lot of things with his refined Falchion + Death Blow. With Heavy Blade in the seal slot and Moonbow as the Special, he's going to proc his Special against most units at 100% HP.

Having a +2 neutral Felicia, I'll be the first to say that it might not be bad but it can still be problematic compared to having the right boon. I often find myself short by around 2 points of attack

I know that Neutral is almost never an optimal IV spread, and there will be times where it falls short. I guess the main thing I was trying to get across here is that it is a completely fine spread--good even, since most of the units are pretty strong at Neutral regardless--, especially for 5-Star exclusive units. (Much better than getting a -Atk Alm.)

Though, for units in the 3-4 Star pool or 4-5 Star pool, it is definitely better to go for better IVs than Neutral because they are much easier to summon and/or merge up.

Here's a skill set for Alm:

Falchion (Refined)
Draconic Aura/Moonbow
Reposition
Death Blow
Renewal/Windsweep
Flexible/Odd Wave Atk
+3 Atk/HeavyBlade/Panic Ploy

Imo, Heavy Blade is probably the best for +Atk Alm, but I'm pretty sure you still can use Heavy Blade at neutral. Panic ploy is great as his Hp can reach up to 48 ( with refine I think ) and that's high enough to panic ploy everyone.
