Alain in the back is good, I don't think that's weird at all. I mean he works better in the front when he doesn't have all his shield skills yet just for raw tanking, sure, but once you get more skills and especially more active and passive points after promoting, he's going to be hopping around defending anyways. He doesn't get a noteable offensive skill until level 30 besides Cav Slayer, and even that's a weak AoE attack just means to give him more PP.
