Alfred (Japanese: アルフレッド Alfred) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Engage. He is the crown prince of Firene and the older brother of Céline.
Biography
Alfred is the eldest prince of Firene,[2] as well as the older brother of Princess Céline and son of Queen Ève. As a child, he suffered from an unnamed illness that has since passed its worst, but he still experiences the effects. While the Divine Dragon was asleep, Alfred would visit the Somniel, considering himself to be a close friend of them. At some unspecified point in time, Alfred received two retainers, Boucheron and Etie.
After attacks on Firene by the Corrupted, Alfred and his retainers left for Lythos to ask for Queen Lumera's help, but instead found Lythos Castle under attack from Elusia. After helping defend the castle, Alfred joins Alear, who in turn aids in the assault on Firene.
Fire Emblem Engage
Role

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Alfred is the second cavalry-type unit who joins your team, along with Boucheron and Etie, shortly after the start of Chapter 3. As a mounted unit, he boasts superior mobility than his infantry peers, making him a solid candidate for Sigurd's Emblem Ring. He sports above average growth rates in many stats barring magic and resistance, allowing him to perform solidly in different physical-oriented classes once Second Seals become available. Alfred's main disadvantages are his rather low base stats; his low speed in particular gives him issues with follow-up attacking throughout much of the early game unless given significant speed investment and maybe some lucky build level ups, being weighed down by every lance in the game barring the Slim Lance. Not helping his case is that Chloé and Louis, two lance-locked units, join the chapter after Alfred is recruited, and both are immediately more useful right off the bat and are better users of Sigurd's ring than him. Amber is another lance specialist cavalier who is recruited much later in the game who competes with Alfred heavily. Scaled up to Amber's joining level, Alfred is behind on strength and speed by about 2.7 and 2.3 points, respectively, while his superior defense and resistance do not fix his issues as he is now liable to be doubled by faster enemies. While Alfred's high defense growth indicates that he is supposed to be a mobile physical tank, he cannot do the job well in the early-game due to his low bases until his growths take effect, which is made worse in Maddening due to the heavy drought of EXP. While he can become a competently solid unit with investment, he will face fierce competition from many early-game units who also desire EXP to grow stronger and would benefit more from the early Master Seals. Overall, this leaves a poor first impression of his performance.
If the player manages to overcome Alfred's rocky start and wishes to continue fielding him in the long run, they have various class options to give him to help him keep up with his team. While his unique Avenir class further accentuates his tank role, gives him a B and A rank in swords and lances, respectively (the latter in particular letting him use a Brave Lance), and will eventually grant him the Golden Lotus skill to give him a dexterity% chance of halving incoming damage, it may leave him unable to kill or tank attacks as effectively as the units dedicated to a single role. If one wants to have Alfred as a physical tank, then Great Knight would be a better option to class him for consistent high defense. Alternatively, if the player wants to push Alfred out of the tank role to kill enemies more reliably as a strong front-liner, classing him as a Wyvern Knight or Warrior is ideal. The Halberdier is also an enticing option, with its class skill, Pincer Attack, guaranteeing a follow-up if its skill conditions are met, mitigating any lingering speed issues he has. However, it requires decent set-up to do and other methods of aiding speed exist.
