Suggestions for a +Att -Spd Alm build

I want to build up my Alm now that he has a nice brave Falchion upgrade. I've seen plenty of fun-looking builds that utilize Windsweep, but since my Alm is -Spd, I'm thinking I shouldn't go that route. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of definitely giving him Deathblow, since he's +Atk.

You could always give him life and death with phantom speed three and give someone on your team hone speed and infantry pulse. This would fix his speed and make sure, he has his special when he strikes. Also, this would make his theoretical speed to be 46. If you married him, then 48.

Then you could ally support him with someone who has drive speed in their c slot, then the spur speed seal. This would result in Alm having +9 speed. Brave Lucina is a good ally for him because she has drive atk and speed in her weapon, which is +3 atk/speed, she also has drive speed, which is + speed. This would result in Alm having 63 speed with windsweep and still 53 without it.

but thats too much investement for a unit with bad ivs if he waits he may or may not need tha L&D or Swift Sparrow... I'm free to play if I go crazy on every character I build I would never be in tier 20arena because to stay there it doesnt matter if you are cool original or have a great build on your 5* unit merges and merges thats all it matters and since he is exclusive i dont think its that great of an idea...
sure surprises can give you wins and gimmicky builds but if he is not gonna be matched with same level merged units that wont work

The struggle is real lol

i would recommend death blow renewal with attack +3 ss the other slots are flexible forget windsweep since he is -spd when you get a neutral one think about it

Hm... Maybe this?
Special: Glimmer/Dragon Fang
A: Death Blow
B: Renewal
C: Whatever you want.
SS: Heavy Blade
With him, Heavy Blade will be perfect to bolster his damage. Dragon Fang is if you have a Dancer or want to dish out a ton of damage the next turn. Renewal is to restore his HP so he can use Double Lion again the next turn. If you want to try Windsweep, it could still work. Perhaps like this....
Special: Bonfire
A: Fury
B: Windsweep
C: Whatever you want.
SS: Phantom Speed
Fury is to patch up his speed and Phantom Speed will ensure Windsweep against several. Much more effective with another ally who can boost his speed. Darting Blow/Swift Sparrow could also work as an alternate for his A.

Tldr build him like Brave Sword Soleil or Chrom. I'd recommend the commonly cited Death Blow with Heavy Blade seal and Moonbow/Glimmer to guarantee kills on dragons.

Since your Alm has -spd, I'd suggest forgoing Windsweep since even with Phantom Spd 3 you won't have enough spd to sweep a lot of units and you give up your seal slot. Anything Alm can Windsweep with Brave Falchion should probably be dead in the first place anyway, so guaranteeing kills with it is more important than preventing their counterattacks, as Alm's bulk is still average regardless.

As for B slot recommendations, either running double Renewal or having a breaker skill is good, though this is generally flexible.
