Trait Fruits—How to Change IVs

When using an Ascendant Floret, we recommend getting the next superboon if it fits the hero. If not, consider what stat your hero needs most.

+Spd/-Res

Legendary Alm's best IVs are +Spd and -Res. Since his special increases with a higher Spd, a raised Spd IV means he will deal more total damage. With his low base Res stat, it is best used as a dump stat, making it ideal for a flaw.

Legendary Alm Best Weapon Refinement

Effect of Legendary Alm's Refined Weapon

Exclusive Weapon Effect from Refining (Special Effect Type)
Luna Arc	SP: 400
Might: 14　Range: 2　HP: Effective against flying foes. Grants Spd+3. If unit initiates combat or is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit during combat and deals damage = 25% of foe's Def, including when dealing damage with a Special triggered before combat. (Ignores reductions to Def from Special skills like Lunar Flash II.) At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd+5 to unit and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat, and also, if foe uses sword, lance, axe, bow, dagger, or beast damage and unit's Spd ≥ foe's Spd+5, foe cannot counterattack. ：500　：200

We recommend the Special Effect Refine for Luna Arc

Refined Luna Arc provides bonus stats, true damage equal to 25% of his foe's Def, neutralizes effects that slow down Legendary Alm's Special charges, and prevents counterattacks from physical foes.

This refine makes Legendary Alm a capable tankbuster, especially with his remix skill Lunar Flash II negating non-Special damage reduction effects.

Legendary Alm Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Legendary Alm Roles

Alm - Saint-King Roles
Close-Physical	Ranged-Physical	Close-Magic	Ranged-Magic
Physical Wall	Magic Wall	Effective Weapon	Movement Assist
Exclusive Skill	All-Range Counter	Recovery	Refresher
Legendary	Mythic	Duo / Harmonized	Resplendent

Alm is a ranged physical attack phase unit. Therefore, when not accounting for the Weapon Triangle, the amount of damage he deals will be equivalent to his Atk minus the foe's Def.

Legendary Effect Raises Your Arena Score

Eff.	Atk+2	Spd+3	Def+4	Res+4	Pair Up

Pair Up and Eff.	Atk+2	Spd+3	Def+4	Res+4

As a Legendary Hero, you will gain an Earth Blessing when summoning L!Alm. Additionally, being an Earth type Legendary Hero means that during Earth Seasons, other allies with an Earth Blessing will receive HP+3 when they appear in battle with L!Alm, and Alm's total stats will be treated as 175. This will lead to a higher Arena Score.

Legendary Alm's Strengths

Can Deal 25% of a Foe's Def as Damage

Legendary Alm's exclusive weapon Luna Arc deals an additional 25% of the foe's Def when he initiates combat. The Def stat used for calculation will include any alterations present during combat, so Surtr's Def would be calculated as 51 when attacking him. Alm's strength lies in being stronger against foes who have higher Def stats.

Example of Damage Calculation

Name	Def Staf (Base Value)	Calculated Damage
Surtr	51	Damage +12
Halloween Myrrh	45	Damage +11
Legendary Hector	41	Damage +10
Legendary Tiki	37	Damage +9

Special skill adds 20% of Spd as damage

Lunar Flash, Alm's special skill, treats the foe's Def or Res as if reduced by 20%, and tacks on 20% of his Spd as damage. Combined with his Passive A Skill Darting Blow will further increase this total. Since it only has a cooldown count of 2, equipping Alm with Flashing Blade will make his special activate on follow-up attacks.

Nullifies Enemy Follow-Up Attacks

Main Vengeful Fighter Users
Idunn	Halloween Myrrh	Legendary Hector	Caineghis

Null Follow-Up allows him to disable the foe's guaranteed follow-up attacks and stop the foe from preventing his own follow-up attacks. Equipping Alm with Flashing Blade will trigger a powerful special when he makes a follow-up attack, meaning this skill is highly synergetic, and you can anticipate higher damage output from it as well. Since he can prevent enemy guaranteed follow-ups, he can in effect render the skill Vengeful Fighter as useless.

L!Alm's Weaknesses

Weak to Foe's Attacks

Legendary Alm has low base stats in both Def and Res, so he is a bit fragile against opponents' attacks. Heroes with Atk that is slightly above average can deal near lethal damage to Alm or even OKO him. Therefore, use caution so that he does not step into an area where enemies can take him down.

Legendary Alm Team and Counters

Heroes to Team with Alm

Flying Olivia	Alm	Legendary Ike	Legendary Marth
Performing Azura	Kaden	Julia	Veronica

Teammates for Legendary Alm

Legendary Alm is a bow-wielding infantry unit, so he cannot receive any movement type-exclusive buffs. Therefore, you should edit your team with allies who can raise an ally's stats while providing additional movement like Legendary Azura or Flying Olivia, or Drive-type skills that buff allies from 2 spaces away such as Kaden.

Heroes Who Are Strong to Manaketes

Since Alm is a bow-wielder, so when he gets attacked by a dragon damage will be calculated with the lower of his Def or Res. With his low defensive stats, an attack from a dragon can be lethal, so you should keep some heroes such as Legendary Marth or Julia in the same team who can easily defeat Manaketes.

Legendary Alm Counters

Celica	Red Tome Eirika	Ophelia	Reinhardt
Robin (M)	Nino	Cecilia	Legendary Robin (F)

High Mobility Attack Phase Mages

Legendary Alm shines in the attack phase, so it is not ideal for him to take attacks. When he does take an attack, he is likely to fall before being able to dish out a counterattack, so be wary of the danger zones of high powered mages with great mobility such as Reinhardt or Nino.
