—Alfonse speaking with Kiran
Alfonse is a main character and protagonist in Fire Emblem Heroes. He is the crown prince of Askr and a member of the Order of Heroes. He is the older brother of Princess Sharena and the son of King Gustav and Queen Henriette.
Profile[]
Being the crown prince of the kingdom of Askr, many people, his own father included, protested when Alfonse joined the Order of Heroes, though others felt it was his usual behavior. Prior to the events of Heroes, he was close friends with a fellow member named Zacharias, who eventually disappeared, and another hero he befriended had left to go home, leaving Alfonse cautious of befriending other heroes. This is why he repeatedly reminds Sharena not to get too close to the Heroes.
Book III[]
Returning to Askr, Alfonse finally reunites with his mother. Before he can meet with his father, mysterious reanimated soldiers wearing Emblian armor appear. Learning that these soldiers are minions of Hel, Alfonse assists in fighting them back.
Later on, Alfonse meets with King Gustav. The problems between father and son are brought to light: Gustav doesn't approve of Alfonse's reckless behavior and inability to see the bigger picture. He states that his son needs to learn that he can't risk himself to save every single person, as a King must consider what would happen should he fall. These questions weigh heavily on Alfonse, as he considers whether or not he's truly worthy to be King.
Eventually, when Hel invades again, Alfonse is warned by Gustav to not engage Hel. Despite this, he still leads the Order into battle, eventually coming into inflict with Hel. Before Alfonse can react, Hel places a curse on him, that he will die within nine days. Following this, Alfonse lives with the curse, while the Order tries to find ways to counteract the curse. However, Gustav seems to accept that Alfonse will be lost to them, disturbing Sharena and the others. Alfonse tries not to lose all hope though, that he will do whatever he can to help in his remaining time.
When Alfonse meets with Gustav again on his way to a conference, Alfonse is presented a dead branch from the King and is asked about whether he remembers it. Alfonse does not, to which Gustav ponders as he leaves. Once his nine days are up, Alfonse once again converses with Gustav, saying that he was at least happy to have these talks with his father before his time. Following this, before Hel can reap Alfonse's life, he watches in horror as his father takes his place, entrusting the future of Askr to him.
Following the King's death, the Order begins to travel to Hel itself. Along the way, Alfonse is forced to fight against a reanimation version of his father. Reluctantly but with resolution, Alfonse and the Order defeat Gustav, and make their way into Hel. While doing so, he comes into conflict with Hel and her generals again. When Hel tries to curse Alfonse a second time, he resolutely states that he will make use of his nine days to defeat her. Enraged, Hel retracts her curse, saying that she will make him suffer like he can't imagine. Following this, Alfonse and the Order chase Líf and Thrasir into a portal.
Alfonse and the others find themselves in an alternate Askr, one that has come to ruin with no survivors. After another encounter with Líf, Alfonse notices a bouquet of flowers that happens to be Sharena's favorite: a memorial. Alfonse suspects that Líf might be behind it, though to what reason he can't fathom. Desiring to explore the library of the ruined Askr, Alfonse faces an ambush by Líf. However, Líf's hesitation when Sharena faces him causes Alfonse's concerns to deepen.
Upon finding the alternate Askr's library, Alfonse discovers a potential clue to defeating Hel: a ritual called the Heart's Rite that was performed between Askr and Embla. However, this ritual decimated the nations, leaving them completely dead. As this happened, they came into conflict with Líf once again. Putting all the clues into place, Alfonse makes a deduction about Líf's identity.
Personality[]
A kind and serious young man who is eager to maintain peace, Alfonse thinks of himself as not being the “prince” type, and joined the Order of Heroes even when Askrian people said it wasn't royal-like and his father expressed outrage. He finds it hard to trust others, acting aloof towards the heroes and Kiran in part because of Zacharias “dying” in battle, as well as being heartbroken when another hero he had bonded with eventually left. As a result, he is reluctant to make connections with others, and regards those summoned as allies rather than friends.
Very knowledgeable, he usually provides background on many aspects of Zenith and the seasonal festivals, and was even shown to be a good artist at one point (even if his drawings are plain). He is also an able strategist, outwitting Surtr in order to let people escape their villages, and cornering Laegjarn by studying Nifl's geography.
Alfonse also shows some qualities of a quick thinker, as seen in Book II where he feigns defending a local village from an attack launched by Surtr where he actually evacuated the locals ahead of time by sending smoke signals, as well as feigning intimidation by tricking Letizia into thinking he is heartless to protect nearby villages. He also shows remarkable intelligence in various moments.
Due to his serious nature, however, Alfonse often gets dismayed at the shenanigans of other members of the Order, particularly Anna's schemes to earn money, it also causes him to be uncomfortable with directly participating in festivals where dressing up is involved, as is illustrated in the second Spring Festival and only truly loses his composure when someone treats a battle like it were a game, such as when Dagr attempts to defeat the Order just to prove her worth and then gives Alfonse advice about personal matters he does not care about.
Over time, with the discovery of Zacharias' true identity and years spent with Kiran, Alfonse has once again began opening up to the possibility of making friends with other heroes, with the Summoner becoming his closest friend and confidant. In Book V, his feelings towards Kiran have improved to the point of blindly chasing after them in a panic when they are captured as well as being openly affectionate with them, which Sharena teases him about. According to Sharena, Alfonse sees Kiran as someone very special to him, but they are not together romantically.

Base Set[]
Alfonse is one of the Askran Trio that players of Heroes receives at the very beginning of the game. Unfortunately, he has many glaring weaknesses that are compounded by the fact that he, like the other two Askran Trio members, lacks the ability to merge and gain post Level 40 stats beyond Dragonflowers and changing his Traits. As such, his long term potential is severely limited when other easy to acquire sword infantry users are easily available. What Alfonse does have going for him is his serviceable 35 Atk and 32 Def, which are solid for a Book I unit, but vastly eclipsed by many units introduced after him. He has a rather low 25 Spd and 22 Res, making him vulnerable to a vast array of magic users. All-in-all, Alfonse can be put to work in some situations, but he does not excel in any particular situation that cannot be otherwise filled by another unit. If looking for a challenge or willing to invest a heavy amount of resources, he is worthwhile in this aspect.
His legendary weapon, Fólkvangr, has an innate Defiant Atk 2 built in, making him stronger when he is under half health. This is strengthened to Defiant Atk/Def 3 when refined plus a Triangle Adept 3 effect, granting him incredible power when combating Greens, but will suffer against Blues. Given his need for power, the trade off is sometimes worth it just to have him excel as a specific check and leave his weaknesses for his allies to cover.
Sol is his attacking skill to keep him healed as he battles, but is not useful to him in the long run compared to better combat skills. Death Blow 3 gives him more Atk when he initiates, leading him to have a solid 57 base Atk on initiation allowing a single powerful blow against most units due to his low speed. Spur Atk 3 gives allies 4 bonus Atk when adjacent to him for a decent boost but incredibly situational.
Counters[]
Alfonse has a plethora of counters. Any offensive Staff and Red/Blue Mage easily runs through his low Res and Spd. Bulky Blues can also shrug off Alfonse even without his refined weapon. If planning on using the Refined Fólkvangr, all Blues can easily handle him while he deals pitiful damage on retaliation. Finally, while most Swordbreaker units already can double him without the skill, any unit with the skill is guaranteed to deal huge damage to him.
Skill Inheritance Options[]
Fólkvangr is a decent weapon for Alfonse and using his Effect Refine for it is his best option to at least serve as a Green counter. However if the huge loss towards Blue retaliation is too much, taking the flat Atk Refine is a decent option. Alfonse has two variations that make him either a tanky sword unit or a nuclear offensive unit.
The tanky variant desires his Fólkvangr Refine Effect using Fury to give him a flat boost to his stats while slowly whittling down his HP so he can enter the HP range for Fólkvangr, though players with access to Distant Counter gives him more options to retaliate against Red and Green mages and other range units. Moonbow or Bonfire helps him to cut enemy Def on activation or use his own to power up his attack respectively. Reposition is the standard Support skill on any unit. Swordbreaker allows him to eliminate the threat of common Swords and give him the means to double attack against at least one weapon type. Finally Spur Def/Res is a decent option for ally Support in his Slot C.
His nuclear option focuses on Player turn offense. Refining Fólkvangr with an Atk Refine is the best option to prevent restriction from battling Blues. Using Ardent Sacrifice or Reciprocal Aid manipulates his HP so he can get to his effect HP range faster. Since Alfonse is relying on buffs, Glimmer takes these boosts and pushes them further for his damage output. Brazen Atk/Def syncs with the Refined Fólkvangr's base effect to grant him great bonuses to his two strongest stats in combat. Death Blow can be maintained to a similar effect. Desperation grants him follow ups since he is maintaining his damage state. Finally any sort of Spur or Hone skill works well with him, though Threaten Defense can shred enemy defenses so he can output a little more damage if needed.

Base Set[]
Spring Alfonse fixes one main problem his base form has, his ability to take assets and flaws to improve his stat distribution. In fact, he has far better Spd than his base form which actually turns him into a solid offensive unit. Sadly, while a straight upgrade over his base form, Spring Alfonse is a seasonal unit, making it hard to acquire a single copy of him. Additionally, he is competing in a decently filled pool of other Axe Cavalry units of which he is just marginally better than some, but not exactly ground breaking enough to warrant prioritizing him over much more easily accessible alternatives.
Giant Spoon is a decently strong inheritable weapon that also grants him +10 true damage to his attacks when his special triggers, improving his damage output greatly and leads to interesting combinations with whatever special he runs.
Noontime heals him 30% of the damage he dealt, which means he gains at least 3-4 HP thanks to Giant Spoon's effect. Sturdy Blow gives +4 Atk/Def when he initiates combat, pushing his neutral Atk to 52 and further increasing his decent physical bulk, reaching 34 neutral Def. Defense Smoke is perhaps his best skill as it inflicts -7 Def onto enemies within two spaces after any combat involving him.
Counters[]
Bulky Reds can take a hit or two from Spring Alfonse despite his high Atk and most can punish him in return, which is expected due to their color advantage. His most glaring weakness is his near non-existent magical bulk that results him falling to all Red mages/dragons, most Greens, and even a few Blues and also Staff units. As a Cavalry unit, he is weak to units who can exploit that status like Gray and Micaiah and her various forms.
Skill Inheritance[]
Reposition is a useful and standard considered support skill for Cavalry units. Luna, Moonbow, and Glimmer are worthy considerations for Spring Alfonse's Special as the focus on damage is better for him than sustainability in most situations.
Spring Alfonse in general otherwise is quite flexible and can be built to orient himself towards defense with skills like Quick Riposte or offense with Desperation. If willing to invest in making him a jack-of-all-trades, he is one of the best options for a Green cavalry. Fury, Chill skills, Wave skills, and Cavalry buff skills are easy to consider skills with most being easy to acquire and help build him on a budget.

Base Set[]
Alfonse in general has been considered a bench unit and is often forgotten. However, his New Years iteration completely turns him around and finally grants him a noteworthy variation that is valuable for taking into modes like Arenas and Aether Raids with the support and assistance of Sharena. New Years Alfonse is a Blue Tome infantry unit which may seem like he will face stiff competition with the likes of Ophelia, Ishtar, or Linde. However, he is vastly different from them as he is not a hyper mage, but rather, a dueling mage. He has a high Atk with a solid bulk to back it up. However, many will notice his low Spd, which may cause some to believe he is easy to punish, but his skills help turn this around.
Imbued Koma focuses around his Special as it accelerates its cooldown. If it is charged, he also gains +5 to his core stats while negating his opponent's ability to follow-up attack him, relieving him of enemies who would likely double him being forced into a solitary single blow by both combatants.
His Duo Skill reduces the special charge of himself and his infantry allies by 2 as long as they are within 3 rows and 3 columns of himself, synergizing perfectly with many powerful special reliant infantry allies such as Ophelia, Sonya, and just about any other ally who usually run Special Spiral, which he himself carries. In combination with his weapon's special acceleration effect, he can usually keep his unique special skill Open the Future constantly active, which means that his weapon's effect remains active. Open the Future is an enhanced Bonfire as it retains the bonus damage added based on 50% of his Def, but also it heals him for 25% of the damage he had dealt.
Close Counter helps him to take full advantage of his solid physical bulk to allow counterattacks against powerful direct combat units. Finally Def Res Oath grants him +5 Def/Res at the start of his turn so long as he is adjacent to an ally. It improves his overall bulk for tanking hits, though he will need to position his allies to maintain the effect.
Counters[]
Countering Festival Alfonse is tricky given that he has solid bulk and negates follow-ups. Thus, Null Follow-Up helps to disable the effect and allows that unit to exploit his low Spd. Hilda is an innate carrier of the skill and is Green, thus having color advantage which makes her the strongest innate unit. Any other Green can achieve the same effect as long as they have semi decent Spd of at least 26 to attack over any non-merged Festival Alfonse. Firesweep Weapons outright prevent him from counterattacking at all as does Dazzling Staff users. In regards to the latter the Melancholy staff, piloted primarily by Silque, can reset his special removing a large portion of his damage plus inflicts Guard to prevent it from charging. Finally, tanking him with high Res Greens and anti-mages like Nagi and Yune can tank a hit and counterattack.
Skill Inheritance[]
Without a Support skill in his base kit, Festival Alfonse thus wants one to fill out his set. Reposition is an excellent choice as is Draw Back depending on player preferences on how they wish to use him to position allies out of less than ideal positions. Skill C, while serviceable, can be replaced with a host of other skills mainly to support his allies, but Smoke skills, in particular Attack Smoke or Resistance Smoke are excellent options for himself to either boost his bulk or increase his damage output.
