Feels wrong the main character didn't have an analysis yet. I've never written a unit analysis before, so it can be changed as needed, but I feel this is at least the general overall consensus about Alear as a unit.

Alear is the main character of ''Engage'', and their death is an automatic game over on Classic mode. They are the first unit in a Dragon type class the player has access to, beating the only other base game Dragon by over 20 chapters, while the other two require downloadable content. This gives Alear unparalleled utility as they will get many useful Type Bonuses from Emblem skills. Due to this, they should almost always stay in their base class line to take advantage of tools such as Emblem Byleth's all stat Instruct, Emblem Corrin allowing them to use all variations of Dragon Vein, or several Emblems giving more hits or damage with their Engage Attacks.
In general, past the early game, Alear will be relegated to a support role, their good personal skill and extreme Emblem utility means they often may not have a chance to use their mediocre combat on any given turn. Their default class line gives them access to only swords and eventually arts, this means they do not have viable 1-2 range options until [[Wille Glanz]] is obtained at the end of Chapter 25, therefore Alear should be positioned adjacent to strong combat units whenever possible to allow their personal skill to activate, making good combat units deadlier and slightly tankier.
If the player doesn't mind losing the Dragon type bonuses, Alear can be reclassed to nearly any physical class and have decent combat potential. They have an innate proficiency in swords, so can obtain S rank in them in [[General]], [[Paladin]], and [[Griffin Knight]]. Of these, Griffin Knight is the most popular choice due to flight and staff utility, and is likely Alear's best class besides their starting one.
Alear, overall, is quite similar to [[Leif]] from ''[[Thracia 776]]'' in their gameplay role, being useful combat units at the start of the game but eventually being relegated to support after the midgame begins. While they might not be flashy in their use, they are still one of the best units in ''Engage'' due to their universal utility.
