When news reached Ram of General [[Desaix]]'s coup against [[Zofia]], Alm volunteered to join the Zofian liberation force to oppose the invasion by neighboring [[Rigel]]; from there, Alm became a leader of the revolution, successfully fighting his way into Rigel itself.

===Analysis=== | |||
{{analysis}} | |||
Alm is one of the most powerful characters in the game. He has solid bases, good growths by ''Gaiden'' standards, and unique access to two powerful weapons in the [[Royal Sword]] and the [[Falchion (Valentia)|Falchion]], and is the best, possibly only, user of the [[Lightning Sword]] when you get it. He isn't lacking in any particular stat except his resistance, which will never increase without the use of equipment. Alm is fast enough to double almost anything but mercenaries and their promotions, although the Thunder Sword will weigh him down enough to keep him from doubling some enemies in Act 1. The Royal Sword provides a decent boost to his already decent strength and has very good hit and crit and heals 5 HP every turn, making it more useful than the Thunder Sword at this point. Alm promotes towards the middle of Act 4, rather late as you will likely have promoted most other units twice, maybe with a few third-tier promotions. Upon promotion, Alm gains the use of Bows, offering the ability to attack at range, but he will almost always be better off equipping the Royal Sword. While 10 base defense may not be too terribly impressive, 16 strength is certainly worthwhile, and Alm will still grow strength a few times, increasing it further. The Falchion is more powerful but less accurate than the Royal Sword, though it also provides healing. The Falchion is one of only two ways to hurt and kill Duma when he is below 52 HP, and given Nosferatu's abysmal 50 hit, it is the most reliable way to do so. | |||

===Role=== | |||
Alm starts the game as a [[Fighter (Gaiden)|Fighter]] under the care of his grandfather, [[Mycen]]. When word of the [[Deliverance]] reaches [[Ram Village]], Mycen refuses to join the war effort, prompting Alm to join [[Lukas]] in returning back to the Deliverance's base. Once there, [[Clive]] asks Alm to take over as leader of the Deliverance, a request Alm reluctantly accepts. This disgusts [[Fernand]], and Fernand leaves the Deliverance after a heated argument with Clive. Alm then leads the Deliverance to [[Zofia Castle]] and liberates it from the [[Rigel|Rigelians]]. | |||
Alm then leads the Deliverance onto Rigelian soil to drive back the invaders for good. After [[Celica]] meets [[Halcyon]] at the [[Sage's Hamlet]], Alm is blessed with the ability to promote to a [[Hero]]. Alm and the Deliverance's undertaking eventually leads him to Emperor [[Rudolf]] at [[Rigel Castle]]. Once Rudolf is slain, he reveals Alm to be his son with his dying breath. Alm is distraught over the death of his father, but quickly recovers once learning Celica is being held in [[Duma Tower]]. | |||
Alm makes his way through Duma Tower and eventually reaches Celica. Celica, however, attacks Alm while explaining she has been sacrificed to [[Duma]] and made into a [[Witch]]. Celica begs for Alm to kill her while viciously attacking him, and Alm is forced to stab her in the chest. Alm cradles Celica's lifeless body, until [[Mila]] uses the last of her power to resurrect Celica. Mila explains to Alm that Duma has gone insane and must be slain for humanity to live in harmony and grants Alm [[Falchion (Valentia)|Falchion]] before falling into an endless sleep. Reunited and will renewed, Alm and Celica's armies combine to take down Duma. | |||
In the end, Alm lands the killing blow on Duma, releasing the people of [[Valentia]] from the gods' control. Rigel and [[Zofia]] are united into the One Kingdom of Valentia, and Alm ascends to the throne as its first king. | |||

===Analysis=== | |||
{{Analysis}} | |||
Alm is one of the main characters of ''Shadows of Valentia'' alongside [[Celica]], and is available from the first chapter, though he is not available in Celica's chapters. His bases are the highest of your starting team, only rivaled by [[Lukas]], but Alm also has much higher growths. It is usually recommended to use Alm and Lukas to weaken the enemies and give the kills to your villagers so they can promote, but there is nothing wrong with giving kills to Alm either. In Act 3 he acquires his unique [[Royal Sword]], which grants him high attack, innate [[Recovery]], and gives him access to the [[Double Lion]] combat art; this allows him to strike twice consecutively, even if he lacks the [[speed]] to double attack naturally, while also increasing the power and accuracy of his attacks. As such, Double Lion is often considered one of the best combat arts in ''Shadows of Valentia'', and it gives Alm the ability to easily kill or otherwise deal great damage to most enemies, aside from some of the stronger bosses. When he promotes in act 4, he also gains access to [[bow]]s, which are quite effective due to their large range; these can be helpful to Alm, as he would otherwise be locked to 1-range with most swords. Alm can also get access to the powerful combat art Hunters Volley, through the use of the Killer Bow. Near the end of the game, he will obtain the [[Falchion (Valentia)|Falchion]], which deals [[bonus damage]] to terrors. Moreover, it is one of the only weapons in the game that can damage the final boss when he drops to 52 HP, the others being frail [[Nosferatu]] users or [[amiibo]] units. | |||
Despite Alm being very strong, he does have some notable weaknesses. While his base stats are very serviceable, his promotion comes very late and his high growths might not let him keep up with some of your stronger units. As a result, his speed may not grow fast enough to allow him to continue doubling enemies near the lategame without using Double lion. Additionally, his [[resistance]] is quite low, and although this is common for units in ''Shadows of Valentia'', it still renders him susceptible to enemy [[Arcanist]]s and [[Cantor]]s. Lastly, his [[movement]] is rather low, which will prevent him from keeping up with higher movement classes such as [[Cavalier]]s, and even [[Dread Fighter]]s in the lategame. | |||
Overall, Alm is an incredibly solid combat unit through the entire game, but is somewhat held back by his late promotion and low movement. | |||

Alm is | ===Role=== | ||
There are four different variations of Alm available to ''Heroes'', all of which are tied to his storyline appearance in ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia''. The normal variation of Alm is one of the characters added to the game in the [[World of Shadows]] update, and became available for summoning by players on April 14, 2017. A variation of Alm termed "Saint-King", based on his [[Conqueror]] attire, was first made available to players on April 27, 2019 as the game's sixteenth Legendary Hero. A Brave variation of Alm featuring him in his original {{title|Gaiden}} armor, was made available on August 16, 2019 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Brave Echoes]] update. A Valentine's variation of Alm was made available between February 7, 2020 and March 6, 2020 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Lovely Gifts]] update; this variation is a Duo Hero, teamed up with [[Celica]], and features both in their outfits from the cover of the ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia'' soundtrack. | |||

Alm is headstrong and not a stranger to taking violent action.<ref>{{cite|But really, it's a battlefield! How do you compassionately stab someone? It may sound barbaric, but that's just how I feel. If you hurt me, I hurt you back...tenfold.|Alm|Awakening}}</ref> In {{title|Awakening}}{{'}}s [[Downloadable content in Fire Emblem Awakening|DLC]] Alm's personality is emphasized, and he is clearly at odds with Celica's more compassionate and peaceful approach, though it is not to say he does not put thought into Celica's words.<ref>{{cite|Celica has her own opinion. "Two wrongs don't make a right," she says. "Two rights don't prevent the next wrong," I usually answer.

|blurb2=Not even Alm knew of his origins growing up, and when Zofia was invaded by Rigel, he quickly joined the liberation army, the Deliverance. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
* The continent of [[Valm]] (originally [[Valentia]]) in {{FE13}} is renamed after Alm. | |||
* Alm's hair color has varied somewhat over the years since his first appearance in {{title|Gaiden}}, where his in-game portrait shows him with unmistakably blue hair, yet his appearance on the game's boxart features him with green hair. His artwork in {{title|The Complete}} features him with blue hair. Most modern pieces, including his {{title|Awakening}} and {{title|Shadows of Valentia}} appearances, feature him with green hair, with the latter game making it his standard hair color since. | |||
* Alm is made left-handed in {{title|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}; all his artwork and battle animations feature him with his sword in his left hand. Alm's original {{title|Gaiden}} artwork depicts him as right-handed. | |||
* Alm is referred to as Rudolf II by some NPCs,<ref>{{cite|L-long live His Excellency Rudolf II!|A soldier in Rigel Castle|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}</ref> with [[Rudolf|his father]] being referred to as Rudolf I (written as "Rudlf First") in ''Gaiden''{{'}}s cast listing. | |||

“ | My station doesn't matter, Celica. I'm here because I was called. I have a duty to perform, and I'll perform it. No more, and no less. | ” | — Alm |
---|
Alm (pronounced /ɑlm/[key][2]; Japanese: アルム Alm) is a youth hailing from the village Ram in the southern peninsula of Valentia, the adoptive grandson of the famous retired knight Mycen and, for a time, the foster brother of Celica. When news reached Ram of General Desaix's coup against Zofia, Alm volunteered to join the Zofian liberation force to oppose the invasion by neighboring Rigel; from there, Alm became a leader of the revolution, successfully fighting his way into Rigel itself. Toward the war's end, he learned of his true identity: Albein Alm Rudolf (Japanese: アルバイン・アルム・ルドルフ Albine Arum Rudlf), the only son and heir of Emperor Rudolf of Rigel, and the cornerstone of Rudolf's gambit to free the world of the corrupting influence of the gods Mila and Duma.[3]

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Alm is one of the most powerful characters in the game. He has solid bases, good growths by Gaiden standards, and unique access to two powerful weapons in the Royal Sword and the Falchion, and is the best, possibly only, user of the Lightning Sword when you get it. He isn't lacking in any particular stat except his resistance, which will never increase without the use of equipment. Alm is fast enough to double almost anything but mercenaries and their promotions, although the Thunder Sword will weigh him down enough to keep him from doubling some enemies in Act 1. The Royal Sword provides a decent boost to his already decent strength and has very good hit and crit and heals 5 HP every turn, making it more useful than the Thunder Sword at this point. Alm promotes towards the middle of Act 4, rather late as you will likely have promoted most other units twice, maybe with a few third-tier promotions. Upon promotion, Alm gains the use of Bows, offering the ability to attack at range, but he will almost always be better off equipping the Royal Sword. While 10 base defense may not be too terribly impressive, 16 strength is certainly worthwhile, and Alm will still grow strength a few times, increasing it further. The Falchion is more powerful but less accurate than the Royal Sword, though it also provides healing. The Falchion is one of only two ways to hurt and kill Duma when he is below 52 HP, and given Nosferatu's abysmal 50 hit, it is the most reliable way to do so.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
In the Outrealms, Alm is one of the Einherjar belonging to Old Hubba. In the Champions of Yore series, Old Hubba summoned him to assist Chrom in defeating an army of female heroes led by Celica. His card was later stolen by Aversa and summoned to attack Chrom's and Celica's combined forces. Later, Aversa again conned Old Hubba into giving her the Einherjar again, forcing Chrom and the Shepherds to face off against Alm and the other legendary heroes once again. Alm reappears in Lost Bloodlines 2, as the leader of a combined force of Archanean and Valentian characters; completion of this chapter allows him to join the army as a playable unit. He again features as an enemy in Rogues & Redeemers 2 and 3, and as an NPC ally in Rogues & Redeemers 1.
Another version of Alm is playable as a bonus SpotPass character, as part of the Gaiden character set.
Alm also has a sword named for him: Alm's Blade. This blade, powerful but without special effect, is purchased using Renown points.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Role
Alm starts the game as a Fighter under the care of his grandfather, Mycen. When word of the Deliverance reaches Ram Village, Mycen refuses to join the war effort, prompting Alm to join Lukas in returning back to the Deliverance's base. Once there, Clive asks Alm to take over as leader of the Deliverance, a request Alm reluctantly accepts. This disgusts Fernand, and Fernand leaves the Deliverance after a heated argument with Clive. Alm then leads the Deliverance to Zofia Castle and liberates it from the Rigelians.
Alm then leads the Deliverance onto Rigelian soil to drive back the invaders for good. After Celica meets Halcyon at the Sage's Hamlet, Alm is blessed with the ability to promote to a Hero. Alm and the Deliverance's undertaking eventually leads him to Emperor Rudolf at Rigel Castle. Once Rudolf is slain, he reveals Alm to be his son with his dying breath. Alm is distraught over the death of his father, but quickly recovers once learning Celica is being held in Duma Tower.
Alm makes his way through Duma Tower and eventually reaches Celica. Celica, however, attacks Alm while explaining she has been sacrificed to Duma and made into a Witch. Celica begs for Alm to kill her while viciously attacking him, and Alm is forced to stab her in the chest. Alm cradles Celica's lifeless body, until Mila uses the last of her power to resurrect Celica. Mila explains to Alm that Duma has gone insane and must be slain for humanity to live in harmony and grants Alm Falchion before falling into an endless sleep. Reunited and will renewed, Alm and Celica's armies combine to take down Duma.
In the end, Alm lands the killing blow on Duma, releasing the people of Valentia from the gods' control. Rigel and Zofia are united into the One Kingdom of Valentia, and Alm ascends to the throne as its first king.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Alm is one of the main characters of Shadows of Valentia alongside Celica, and is available from the first chapter, though he is not available in Celica's chapters. His bases are the highest of your starting team, only rivaled by Lukas, but Alm also has much higher growths. It is usually recommended to use Alm and Lukas to weaken the enemies and give the kills to your villagers so they can promote, but there is nothing wrong with giving kills to Alm either. In Act 3 he acquires his unique Royal Sword, which grants him high attack, innate Recovery, and gives him access to the Double Lion combat art; this allows him to strike twice consecutively, even if he lacks the speed to double attack naturally, while also increasing the power and accuracy of his attacks. As such, Double Lion is often considered one of the best combat arts in Shadows of Valentia, and it gives Alm the ability to easily kill or otherwise deal great damage to most enemies, aside from some of the stronger bosses. When he promotes in act 4, he also gains access to bows, which are quite effective due to their large range; these can be helpful to Alm, as he would otherwise be locked to 1-range with most swords. Alm can also get access to the powerful combat art Hunters Volley, through the use of the Killer Bow. Near the end of the game, he will obtain the Falchion, which deals bonus damage to terrors. Moreover, it is one of the only weapons in the game that can damage the final boss when he drops to 52 HP, the others being frail Nosferatu users or amiibo units.
Despite Alm being very strong, he does have some notable weaknesses. While his base stats are very serviceable, his promotion comes very late and his high growths might not let him keep up with some of your stronger units. As a result, his speed may not grow fast enough to allow him to continue doubling enemies near the lategame without using Double lion. Additionally, his resistance is quite low, and although this is common for units in Shadows of Valentia, it still renders him susceptible to enemy Arcanists and Cantors. Lastly, his movement is rather low, which will prevent him from keeping up with higher movement classes such as Cavaliers, and even Dread Fighters in the lategame.
Overall, Alm is an incredibly solid combat unit through the entire game, but is somewhat held back by his late promotion and low movement.

Personality
Alm is headstrong and not a stranger to taking violent action.[4] In Awakening's DLC Alm's personality is emphasized, and he is clearly at odds with Celica's more compassionate and peaceful approach, though it is not to say he does not put thought into Celica's words.[5] Despite his aggressive nature, he is emotionally expressive, being brought to tears over being responsible for the death of his father[6] and his cousin.[7]

Endings
Gaiden
In ages to come, this is what was passed down:
'He who sundered the evil chains of the gods
And established this thousand-year reign
Must never be forgotten: Our Holy King, Alm the First!'
Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
As first king of the One Kingdom of Valentia, Alm spent his life restoring the land to glory. He would be remembered fondly by later generations as Saint-King Alm I, who cast off the gods' oppressive yoke and founded a dynasty that would last a thousand years.

Trivia
- The continent of Valm (originally Valentia) in Fire Emblem Awakening is renamed after Alm.
- Alm's hair color has varied somewhat over the years since his first appearance in Gaiden, where his in-game portrait shows him with unmistakably blue hair, yet his appearance on the game's boxart features him with green hair. His artwork in The Complete features him with blue hair. Most modern pieces, including his Awakening and Shadows of Valentia appearances, feature him with green hair, with the latter game making it his standard hair color since.
- Alm is made left-handed in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia; all his artwork and battle animations feature him with his sword in his left hand. Alm's original Gaiden artwork depicts him as right-handed.
- Alm is referred to as Rudolf II by some NPCs,[8] with his father being referred to as Rudolf I (written as "Rudlf First") in Gaiden's cast listing.
