Winter Alear (M) Skills at 5★

Wintery Arts Might: 16　 Range: 1 Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). Unit attacks twice (even if foe initiates combat, unit attacks twice). At start of turn, if unit is within 2 spaces of an ally, grants 【Divinely Inspiring】 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+5 to unit, inflicts penalty on foe's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = number of distinct game titles among allies within 3 spaces of unit x 3 + 4 (max 10), unit deals +X damage (X = 5 x the total number of distinct game titles among allies, excluding unit, and the number of engaged allies, excluding unit; max 15; excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces damage from foe's first attack by X during combat ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). If foe's Range = 2, calculates damage using the lower of foe's Def or Res. 【Divinely Inspiring】 Grants bonus to unit's Atk/Spd/Def/Res = X x 3 (X = number of allies with the Divinely Inspiring effect within 3 spaces of unit, excluding unit, max 2), grants Special cooldown count-X to unit before foe's first attack, and when unit deals damage to foe during combat, restores X x 4 HP to unit during combat.

Dragon's Roar Cooldown Count = 3 Boosts Special damage by 40% of unit's Res when Special triggers. If unit's or foe's Special is ready, or if unit's or foe's Special triggered before or during this combat, and also, if unit's Res ≥ foe's Res-4 during combat, reduces damage from foe's next attack by 40% (once per combat; excluding area-of-effect Specials).

Emblems' Miracle Unit can counterattack regardless of foe's range. If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 to unit during combat and reduces damage from foe's first attack during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by 40% ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes). If the number of allies within 3 spaces of unit ≥ 3 and foe initiates combat, if unit's HP > 1 and foe would reduce unit's HP to 0 during combat, unit survives with 1 HP, and after combat, restores 99 HP to unit (effect only triggers for player's team once per map and does not stack with non-Special effects that allow unit to survive with 1 HP if foe's attack would reduce unit's HP to 0; when any other such effect triggers on a unit granted this effect, this effect will trigger too).

S/R Spiked Wall Foes with Range = 1 cannot move through spaces adjacent to unit (does not affect foes with Pass skills). Foes with Range = 2 cannot move through spaces within 2 spaces of unit (does not affect foes with Pass skills). Inflicts Spd/Res-4 on foe, deals damage = 15% of the greater of unit's Def or Res (excluding area-of-effect Specials), reduces damage from foe's first attack by 7 ("first attack" normally means only the first strike; for effects that grant "unit attacks twice," it means the first and second strikes), and neutralizes effects that inflict "Special cooldown charge -X" on unit during combat.

Even Res Wave D At start of turn, grants Res+6 to unit and allies within 2 spaces of unit for 1 turn. If unit's Res ≥ foe's Res+5 and foe's attack can trigger foe's Special, inflicts Special cooldown count+1 on foe before foe's first attack during combat (cannot exceed the foe's maximum Special cooldown). If it is an even-numbered turn, grants Res+6 to unit during combat.

Winter Alear (M) Best IVs

Recommended IVs

Stat	Superboon/Superbane	IV Recommendation
HP (18)		★★★☆☆
Atk (10)		★★★★☆
Spd (7)		★★★★★
Def (8)		★★★☆☆
Res (6)		★★★★★

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

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 / -HP

The best IVs for Winter Alear (M) are +Spd and -HP. Alear's Spd is quite high at base 46, raised to base 50 with a superboon. While it isn't the highest Spd stat in the game, as some units already have base 48 Spd (52 with superboons), Alear's Spd is high enough to prevent follow-up attacks against these speedy foes.

Winter Alear (M)'s other stats are all quite important, especially with his role as an omnitank unit. We recommend taking HP as a bane as it is the easiest stat to patch up through blessing bonuses.

+Spd for a +10 merge

We recommend +Spd when merging Winter Alear (M) up to +10 as it allows him to prevent follow-up attacks from all the fast metagame foes.

Winter Alear (M) Roles, Strengths, and Weaknesses

Winter Alear (M) Roles

Alear - Gifted Dragons 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

Winter Alear (M) is a close magic 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 Res stat.

Winter Alear (M) Strengths

Wintery Arts is a strong offensive weapon with an additional support effect

Winter Alear (M) comes with his own exclusive weapon in Wintery Arts which is loaded with multiple effects that help in different situations.

Below is a summary of these effects:

X = 5x the total number of distinct game titles among allies (excluding Alear) and the number of engaged allies (excluding Alear).

【Divinely Inspiring】 is a new positive status effect that grants the affected unit:

• Atk/Spd/Def/Res bonuses equal to 3x the number of allies with 【Divinely Inspiring】 within 3 spaces of the affected unit
• Special cooldown count -X to unit before his/her foe's first attack; X = the number of allies with 【Divinely Inspiring】 within 3 spaces of the affected unit
• +X HP recovery whenever unit deals damage to his/her foe during combat; X = the number of allies with 【Divinely Inspiring】 within 3 spaces of the affected unit

Stacking multiple allies with the 【Divinely Inspiring】 status condition amplifies their combat prowess, making them even stronger when fighting together.

Emblems' Miracle has Distant Counter, damage reduction, and Miracle

Winter Alear (M)'s exclusive A skill Emblems' Miracle has a built-in Distant Counter effect and grants him Atk/Spd/Def/Res+9 and 40% damage reduction on his foe's first attack during combat.

It also grants Alear a Miracle effect if Alear has 3 or more allies nearby and his foe initiates combat, while also fully restoring his HP after combat if he survives. The Miracle and recovery effect is only applied once per map, but it is incredibly effective at keeping Alear healthy and allowing him to survive a critical blow.

Duo Skill neutralizes team's penalties and foe's bonuses

Winter Alear (M)'s Duo Skill neutralizes any 【Penalty】 effects on Alear and allies within 3 spaces of Alear and grants a neutralizes foe's bonuses during combat effect and a 50% damage reduction piercing effect to Alear and those allies.

This Duo Skill can tip combat in Alear's team's favor, and is reusable after three turns, making it a good Duo Skill to use during critical turns.

Winter Alear (M) Weaknesses

Weak to Dragon Effective Weapons

Winter Alear (M) takes 1.5x damage from dragon-effective weapons like Divine Mist, 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!
