Best class
Alear’s starting class would be Dragon Child, one of the best classes in FE Engage. Other than that, the recommended class for Alear is the Divine Dragon class, which you can unlock and change using a Second Seal. The Divine dragon class allows you to use Swords and Martial arts and shorten the engage meter of the unit by one step in Fire Emblem Engage.

How to bond with allies as Alear
Conversing with your allies and knowing more about them is good for increasing bonding levels. As Alear is the game’s main protagonist, you are always creating friendships or having unique relationships with other emblems and companions. The highest level you can achieve by bonding is 20.
That said, as you increase your bond level with a particular emblem, there are specific skills that you unlock as well that you can inherit later on in the game at the cost of Skill Points at the Ring Chamber. Inheriting skills can be used without equipping the characters with their emblem rings.
At the Ring Chamber on Somniel, you can also Augment the emblem’s engage weapon giving them a stats boost at the cost of some materials.
