Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Buddy supports

Credits: Pegasus Knight, Valhalla, Narga_Rocks (support points)

• When two characters gain enough support points they can support in the Base and become Buddies.
• C (lowest), B and finally A (highest) support levels can be obtained.
• Characters can only have one Buddy at a time, but they can potentially support with any character.
  
• Buddies can be deleted, so the characters can support with a different character each (however all support points with that Buddy will be lost).
• After supporting, the two characters will have the option to initiate a basic support conversation during the beginning of the chapter.

• Support types
  

• Shove: Shove or Smite a character.
  
• Adjacent: Stay on the square next to a character of the same army while the Turn begins (rescued characters don't gain Adjacent points).
  
• Heal: Use staves or the Sacrifice skill on a character.
  
• Carry: Carry a blue army character while the Turn begins (by using the Rescue, Take or Give command).
  
• Chapter: Start the chapter as blue army characters (this is only added once per chapter*).

The individual bonuses for each Affinity are:

Fire: Attack +0.5, Accuracy +2.5
Water: Attack +0.5, Defence +0.5
Wind: Accuracy +2.5, Avoid +2.5
Thunder: Defence +0.5, Avoid +2.5
Heaven: Accuracy +9
Earth: Avoid +7.5
Light: Defence +0.5, Accuracy +2.5
Dark: Attack +0.5, Avoid +2.5

(Attack and Defence include both physical and magical)

To obtain the complete bonus for two characters, add up the individual bonuses for the two affinities and multiply them by the support level (1x for C, 2x for B and 3x for A). If any fractions are present, round down for <0.4 and round up for >=0.5.

The bonus only activate if the supporting characters are within a 3 tile radius of eachother.
