At start of turn, if there is an ally within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Def/Res+6 to unit for 1 turn and unit can move 1 extra space (that turn only; does not stack), and also, if unit's Special cooldown count is at its maximum value, grants Special cooldown count-1. If unit initiates combat or if there is an ally within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit, grants Def/Res+X to unit, inflicts Def/Res-X on foe (X = 5 + number of allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit × 3; max 14), deals damage = 10% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by 10% of unit's Def during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, when Special triggers, neutralizes foe's "reduces damage by X%" effects from foe's non-Special skills (excluding area-of-effect Specials).

After combat, if unit's Special triggered, grants Atk/Def/Res 【Great Talent】 +4 to unit and Atk/Def/Res 【Great Talent】 +2 to allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on unit. (This skill grants max of 【Great Talent】 +20 for unit and 【Great Talent】 +10 for allies.) 【Great Talent】 Adds value of Great Talent (+X) to specified stats (until end of battle; max value of X is determined by the stat reaching the limit of 99, each stat calculated separately; stat increases are not treated as Bonus effects). |

If unit has entered combat during the current turn, after unit acts (if Canto triggers, after Canto), applies 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 to unit's space and spaces within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. |
At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk-5 on foe, inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack (only highest value applied; does not stack), deals damage = X% of unit's Def (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's attacks by X% of unit's Def during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials; if unit can make a follow-up attack of if unit triggers the "unit attacks twice" effect, X = 10; otherwise, X = 20). |
For allies within 2 spaces of unit, restores X HP to that ally as their combat begins (triggers after effects that deal damage as combat begins; if ally's Def > foe's Def, X = 20% of ally's max HP + difference between stats × 4; otherwise, X = 20% of ally's max HP; max 40% of ally's max HP + damage dealt to ally as combat begins; only highest value applied; does not stack). For allies within 2 spaces of unit, grants Def+4 and reduces the effect of 【Deep Wounds】by 50% during combat. If unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, restores X HP to unit as unit's combat begins (triggers after effects that deal damage as combat begins; if unit's Def > foe's Def, X = 20% of unit's max HP + difference between stats × 4; otherwise, X = 20% of unit's max HP; max 40% of unit's max HP + damage dealt to unit as combat begins; only highest value applied; does not stack).

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.
The best IVs for Brave Alfonse are +Def and -Spd. Both Majestic Glitnir and Makings of a King rely on Brave Alfonse's Def for their respective effects, and boosting Def ensures they remain at maximum effectiveness.
Brave Alfonse's Spd is a clear dump stat and should be the bane of choice.
We recommend +Def when merging Brave Alfonse up to +10 to fully utilize both Majestic Glitnir and Makings of a King.

Brave Alfonse's base kit already functions well as a tank unit, soaking up damage for his team using his bulk while scaling with his 【Great Talent】 bonuses. A Def/Res boosting Sacred Seal also works if you need mixed bulk.

Note: Stats bonuses from skills are not taken into account.
Brave Alfonse 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.
Brave Alfonse's exclusive weapon Majestic Glitnir has built-in 【Canto (Dist. +1; Max 4)】, allowing him to move around the battlefield with ease.
At the start of each turn, Majestic Glitnir grants the following effects if there is an ally within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Brave Alfonse:
In combat, Majestic Glitnir grants the following effects if Brave Alfonse initiates combat or if there is an ally within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Brave Alfonse:
X = 5 + (allies within 3 rows or 3 columns centered on Brave Alfonse, x3) (max: 14)
Majestic Glitnir greatly improves Brave Alfonse's combat and mobility, making him a unit to be feared at all times.
Brave Alfonse's exclusive Special Makings of a King boosts his Special damage by 30% of his Def + Def 【Great Talent】, has built-in damage reduction up to 40%, and introduces the new 【Great Talent】 mechanic.
【Great Talent】 stats are additional stats that cannot be stolen or affected by 【Panic】. These stats essentially act as permanent stat boosts that last for the entire battle.
At the start of each turn, Makings of a King grants Brave Alfonse Atk/Def/Res 【Great Talent】 +2 and all allies within 3 rows or 3 columns Atk/Def/Res 【Great Talent】 +1.
After combat, if Makings of a King triggered, it grants Brave Alfonse Atk/Def/Res 【Great Talent】 +4 and all allies within 3 rows or 3 columns Atk/Def/Res 【Great Talent】 +2.
The additional 【Great Talent】 stats granted by Makings of a King are capped at +20 for Brave Alfonse and +10 for his allies.
In game modes where the opponent doesn't act immediately, or is far away from your team, Makings of a King can be used to stack up extra Atk/Def/Res 【Great Talent】 for the entire team, boosting the performance of the entire team before battles become necessary.
Makings of a King makes Brave Alfonse incredibly tanky, especially when paired with Majestic Glitnir and his base kit's Fortifications granting additional bulk and 【Divine Vein (Stone)】 terrain plus Reopening granting additional damage reduction and a Guard effect.
Brave Alfonse takes 1.5x damage from cavalry-effective weapons like Thani or Binding Reginleif, and one blow from this type of weapon will deal significant damage. Make sure you know what weapons you are up against before hopping too far into the line of battle!

Brave Alfonse has Fortifications, Reopening, and Breath of Life 4 as inheritable options.
All of these skills are very good and worth inheriting onto your favorite units. However, Brave Alfonse is arguably one of the best units in the entire game. Think carefully before foddering him off.

We did consider Brave Alfonse for 9.9, but decided to rank him 9.5 instead due to Great Talent relying on either Alfonse entering combat or multiple turns to pass before becoming relevant. Alfonse can stall out a few turns in Arena to get extra stats before combat becomes inevitable, but he doesn't have this luxury in Aether Raids or Summoner Duels.

That is fair. Plus Great Talent is new also we can't expect it to be the greatest. Felix is just amazing as a nuke galeforcee and tank. Thanks for replying.
