Color / Weapon Type / Move Type
Rarity
What Kind of Character Are They? ・Weapon skill grants 【Charge】 to unit and nearby support partner, grants bonus stats, Spd-based damage reduction, and inflicts scaling Spd/Def penalties onto foe.

Alear (M) Skills at 5★


Might: 16  Range: 1
Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). At start of turn, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants 【Charge】 to unit and support partners within 3 spaces of unit for 1 turn. At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit during combat and inflicts Spd/Def-X on foe during combat (X = the number of allies from distinct titles within 3 spaces of unit x 4,+ 4; max 12), and also, if unit's Spd > foe's Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials by percentage = difference between stats x 4; max 40%.

Cooldown Count = 3
Boosts Atk by 30%.

At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100% or if 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants Atk/Spd+7 to unit during combat. At start of combat, if unit's HP = 100% and 【Bonus】 is active on unit, grants an additional Atk/Spd+2 to unit during combat.

Inflicts Spd/Def-4 on foe during combat. If a skill compares unit's Spd to a foe's or ally's Spd, treat unit's Spd as if granted +7. If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials by percentage = difference between stats x 5 (max 50%). If unit initiates combat, foe is moved 1 space away after combat.

If in combat against a green foe, disables skills of all foes, excluding foe in combat, and inflicts Atk/Spd/Def/Res-4 on foe during combat. During combat, disables skills of all green foes, excluding foe in combat.

Alear (M) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat Superboon/Superbane IV Recommendation
HP (18) HP Superbane ★★★☆☆
Atk (14) Attack Boon ★★★★★
Spd (15) Spd Boon ★★★★★
Def (5) No Def IV ★★★☆☆
Res (3) Res Bane ★★☆☆☆

◯ = Stat gains +4 with a superboon, ✕= Stat goes down by -4 with a superbane, - = No assets or flaws

See the IV Checker for All Units 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

The best IVs for Alear (M) are +Spd and -Res. Alear (M) is among the fastest units in the game with his base 45 Spd, increased to base 49 through a superboon. He also has a Spd-based damage reduction effect on Libération, thus, maximizing Spd improves his combat performance the most.

His Res is below average and can be safely taken as a bane.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Alear (M) up to +10 for similar reasons above. His Spd is his most important stat and should be maximized as much as possible.

Alear (M) Best Builds

Vital Astra Alear (M)

HOT
Emblem Icon: -
Passive Skill BSpurn 4
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

Alear makes great use of Vital Astra with his high Spd stat. Time's Pulse 4 is used to ensure Vital Astra is available at all times. Spurn 4 is the best Spd-based damage reduction skill released so far while we wait for Velocity 4 to be released.

General Use / Budget Alear (M)

Special Skill IconLuna
Emblem Icon: -
Passive Skill BRepel 4
Attuned Skill Icon: -

How to Use, Explanation

This build works similarly to the build above except it uses skills more available to all players. Spd Smoke 4 can be obtained using compiled combat manuals; other Spd boosting skills such as Joint Drive Spd can also be used if availability is an issue.

Alear (M) is a close physical attacker (range = 1). 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 stat.

Alear (M) Strengths

Libération

Alear (M) Attack Fire Emblem Heroes FEH

Alear's Libération grants 【Charge】 to himself and his support partner (as long as they are within 3 spaces of Alear) at the start of each turn. 【Charge】 allows units to warp up to three spaces in cardinal directions, ignoring terrain effects that slow down (but not completely block) units. This allows units to quickly traverse the map and either mount an offensive or retreat.

Libération also grants Alear Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 during combat and inflicts a Spd/Def penalty, scaling based on the number of allies from distinct titles in nearby spaces. This effect can scale up to Spd/Def-12 with proper teambuilding and unit placement!

Finally, Libération also grants Alear Spd-based damage reduction, up to 40%. This allows Alear to withstand heavy attacks and survive combat.

Alear (M) Weaknesses

Competition

Alear (M) is yet another sword infantry unit and IS has been releasing this unit archetype quite often.

He will suffer from competition among similar units, especially those that outspeed him and negate his Spd-based damage reduction effects.

Spd Smoke 4 is found on Fallen Lilith in the Awakening/Fates path, Divine Codes 4!

I can't find speed smoke 4 via combat manuals. I found speed smoke 3 via chad, who was about to expire in 5 days. I used that since i don't know if i lose those manuals (w a 12 next to them) after the rewards disappear, so i went ahead & used them. There's still SO MUCH for new players to learn, even when we're very familiar with fire emblem games,,terms, techniques, etc. Almost overwhelming.
