Alm is one of the main lords 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. Near the end of the game, he will obtain the [[Falchion (Valentia)|Falchion]], which deals [[bonus damage]] against 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. | Alm is one of the main lords of ''Shadows of Valentia'' alongside [[Celica]], and is available from the first chapter, though he is not available in Celica's chapters.
