Overview

The original founder king who kicked off the entire Dragalia lore, Alberius vies for the title of most powerful shapeshift kit. Between easy dispels, Shadowblight, and oodles of shapeshift synergies, Alberius brings both utility and raw damage to the table. Furthermore, his kit is future-proofed for endgame Dominion quests where the Curse of Nihility debuff otherwise invalidates many units' kits. To top it all off, Alberius can cosplay as up to three different dragons, shattering the previous record of one. 

Strengths

Powerful Shapeshift Synergies 

“Certain abilities that activate while shapeshifting” is tacked onto the end of Skill 1 and Skill 2. This means that Alberius is technically in Dragon form during those skills and that he reaps the benefits of +Dragon Damage. He also gains +25% DEF in those moments, giving him extra resilience against unavoidable purple marker attacks if timed properly.  

Double Dispels 

No hoops to jump through, just use Skill 1 and/or Skill 2 at any time for a dispel on command.

High Shadowblight Uptime 

Alberius can single handedly enable Shadowblighted Punisher setups, offering either a strong Poison alternative or contributing to double punisher loadouts. 

Weaknesses

Susceptible to Paralysis 

The mobility impairment of Paralysis is second only to Bog, and getting tagged with such an irritating affliction will prevent Alberius from shapeshifting for some time.

Dragon Recommendations

Arsène offers the highest dragon form damage, meshing well with Alberius’s frequent shapeshifts. 

Ramiel is surprisingly powerful, starting Alberius an immediate shapeshift followed by a free Skill 2 charge and continuous skill gauge filling for even more dragon gauge.

Shinobi functions similarly to Arsène, albeit with slightly lower numbers.

Weapon Recommendations

Budget Option: Dainsleif

Wyrmprint Recommendations

Pair 1

Dragon’s Boon (4) is the goal since it applies to most of Alberius’s kit. Pecorine’s Grand Adventure is for shorter quests, while An Ancient Oath scales better with longer fights.
