[Who can you best pair with Alm to make an optimal ship (not Celica)?]

If Alm could be with anyone else but Celica, what would be the most optimal character paired with him and why? Could be any character and it doesn't have to be one he has supports with.

I hope other people have a alm/whoever rarepair, as much as I like Alm/Celica I'm interested in other ships because of the different dynamic and the way the story would change. Anyone a Alm/Lukas shipper?

Celica is the only reason Alm was able to get Falchion, so probably no. Mila let Alm draw it from her skull because, not only could he wield it because of his bloodline, but also Mila's heart was softened by Celica's selflessness.

Since Mila went mad just like her brother, she sealed the Falchion because her madness clouded her judgement and didn't want Alm to destroy Duma. But at the moment she unsealed the blade, her senses came back to her. So in an alternate universe (without Celica), we could say that Mila unsealed Falchion because she was brought back to her senses and realized Duma needed to be destroyed. It doesn't necessarily mean the sole reason she unsealed Falchion was because of Celica's sacrifice.

More or less. She sealed the Falchion because she didn't want her brother to come to harm. Remember, she's also turning mad, so her judgement is being clouded.

It's no coincidence she unsealed the sword the very moment the Alm and Celica fight happened... and Celica was killed. I take it you mean Celica dying at some earlier point than the duel?

Right, but the moment she unsealed the Falchion is when she came to her senses and realized Duma had to be defeated, correct? (haven't played SoV in a while)

 

Yeah, I was picturing Celica dying around Act 3, either the very beginning of it because of that landslide/earthquake and having Conrad not saving her in time, or in some other incident later on. I kinda wanted it to be right after their reunion just so it could be more of a struggle for Alm to cope with (writing a story, you can say it's like an alternate universe or the like).

Although seriously, I would think it would be possible. Although, how feasibly would it be depends if Mila is willing to unseal the Kingsfang for Alm to use.

Why, does it depend on Celica's presence if she would unseal it or not? Why wouldn't she? Is it because Alm is considered to be "a reincarnation of Duma" or at least represents Duma? Or is it because she knows Alm is going to defeat Duma and although she knows how destructive her brother is, she is still reluctant to unseal Falchion?

Well both Turnwheels are needed to access the altar to begin with, so if Celica died and nobody bothered to retrieve her Turnwheel, then no.

Assuming Alm could access the altar and fight Duma with his army and whatever is left of Celica's, then probably. Alm kinda OP.

Though after Duma's defeat, things may have gone south fast, what with Alm not having Celica and all- he would have struggled a LOT more as a ruler in that case.

Lol right Alm is pretty OP but I can say it'd take a huge toll on him mentally and physically, but I'm sure he'd pull through for the sake of saving Valentia and for Celica. While she would be dead in that scenario, her soul was always intertwined with Alm's, so I feel like she'd be watching over him in a way, giving him signs, etc..

I mean considering the entire point of the story is that Alm and Celica are supposed to be two halves of a greater whole. Where one’s strengths offset the other’s weaknesses I’m gonna say no but considering this is SoV we’re talking about here probably because Celica constantly just gets the shaft in SoV.

True, one without the other may make everything all the more difficult

[Would Alm be able to defeat Duma without Celica?]

Let's say Celica dies. Would Alm still be able to save Valentia and defeat Duma? Or does he need the other bearer of the brand to help?

 

Edit: asking this bc I'm working on a fanfic that is not Alm/Celica, and I found, if you're writing a fanfic for an Alm/whoever ship in the SoV world, Celica wouldn't fit in the story so you'd have to kill her off (I'm so sorry Celica, I still love you :c) for it to work. So I was wondering even without her if Valentia would still end up being saved.
