What's wrong with Saber and Alm?

These 2 heroes are ones i have summoned quite recently from their banners and i noticed that their stats are good all around. I started thinking to myself that i could build them to be whatever i wanted them to be since they didn't really have any terrible stats. I have heard once that stats can be too balanced so that none of them are any good, but i can see how Alm isn't good because half his stats are below 30, but overall, they should be pretty good given the right skillsets. So far, here is a list of all my red units that might be worth something (excluding saber and alm):
- 5 star marth
- 4 star roy
- 2x 4 star eirikas
- 3x 4 and 1x 3 star olivias
- 5 star ryoma (maxed)

Out of these units i listed, which ones do you think are best to level up and what should i do with saber and alm?

Ryoma is great but you appear to have him maxed already, dancers are always good, plus having three four stars of olivia around means you COULD invest in merging her if you have a shit load of feathers and or nothing better to slowly chip away at. Eirika is a really good support unit and certainly qualifies too.

Roy I don't see too terribly much and don't think he is particularly great, and Marth doesn't have a particular niche that I know of, but aas far as I am aware plays a lot like Lucina. Id focus on eirika or olivia first personally since Ryoma would probably do Marth's role better, where as Eirika and oliva are support rather than main dps type units.

Can't help with alm or saber, ive not seen much of them to talk about it. I would guess the fact that I haven't seen them around in arena though might mean there isn't much to work with there.

Alm is in a weird position that overall makes him weak compared to the other Falchion users and sword users in general. If you want a fast offensive Falchion user then Lucina is your gurl. If you want a more tanky unit, which I believe is what Alm is going for, there's a better unit for that and that's Marth. He's kinda underrated imo. A plus speed Marth with fury hits 40 speed with 32 defense. So basically he's faster than Alm and as tanky so why use Alm over Marth? All Alm really has over Marth is 2 more attack which isn't much and 4 more hp. And like Silverstriker mentioned Ryoma basically do both of there jobs better especially since he has DC on his sword.

Give Alm and/or Marth Fury 3, Renewal 3, and Reciprocal Aid. This build turns them into amazing duelists/healers.

Alm needs a speed boon to function. Otherwise, he's a hard hitter, but has little to no Resistance and subpar defense unless you decide he should have a boon in defense, but honestly, speed is his best boon and as much HP he has, thats the stat he should always ditch in my opinion.

Alm without speed isnt worth it and if its his bane? Game over, honestly. His attack and HP are massive, but he needs his other stats to survive by the off chance he doesnt one shot something, which os mote often than you think.
