Alear

When choosing the best of the best for the team you can rely on, you will have to be flexible, adapt to the circumstances, and rotate your units. Still, we believe that Alear is one of the choices that make sense for your Maddening team, and not just because they are the protagonist. Alear is quite independent in terms of damage and evasion and comes with the useful Divinely Inspiring skill that will make allies next to him even stronger.


Anna

Anna may look like an odd choice at first, considering her weak initial build, but we are talking of Anna as the most powerful mage that she can become if you change her class and invest in upgrading her accordingly.


Kagetsu

Kagetsu is another clear choice due to his high Dexterity and great Speed and Defense growth, which work in favor of his general resilience on the battlefield. We also suggest using Ivy as soon as possible due to her unique skills as a magic Flier and her great potential to destroy magical and armored units alike.


Louis

Louis made S-Tier in our team build guide thanks to his potential to become the unit with the highest Defense and HP stats, which make him one of the best tanks out there—and when playing on Maddening, you will need those tanks left and right.


That concludes our team build guide for playing on Maddening in Fire Emblem Engage. Let us know who your top choices are and check out other useful guides, including How to Farm EXP Quickly in Fire Emblem Engage and Best Weapons in Fire Emblem Engage Ranked.
