Conclusion
Alvanor is an excellent versatile support character, who can be put into any team. An excellent defense character, in team with other Guardians can show excellent survivability, which will allow to win a lot of battles as time goes by. The Grove Keepers are not as good as the undead. But, unlike the undead, Guardians can feel fine on their own, while the same Corvus without Morrigan turns into one of the worst tanks in the game. The main disadvantage of Alvanor is the difficulty in getting it. If you manage to get it, the character will perfectly complement your team. Perfectly combines in a team with Thea.
