Soonaynay Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Pretty self-explanatory, but any help with the following pairings would be extremely helpful! I've organized them according to how confident I feel about them, meaning I'm pretty set on the beginning pairings, but could use a lot of help towards the bottom of the lists. Thanks in advance! Nohr: Xander x Kamui (unchangeable) Leo x Nyx Odin x Elise Zero x Camilla Flannel x Azura (thought Azura could use the defensive support bonus, plus their kids should be pretty great?) Lazward x Charlotte (like this one for the supports/personality more tbh) Kaze x Mozume Silas x Effie Arthur x Berka Benoit x Pieri Jacob x Felicia (basically the leftovers, but don't their modifiers clash?) (Luna is alone, mostly because I dislike her personality) Hoshido: (much more unsure about this list; a lot can be switched around) Jacob x Kamui (can marry Kaze, Subaki, or Takumi instead if optimization deems it necessary) Ryoma x Kagerou Takumi x Oboro (vassal-lord love) Subaki x Hinoka (red-haired Matoi yes) Hinata x Setsuna (balance out Hinata's terrible speed, and vice versa for Setsuna's paltry defense/strength?) ~Yomi x Sakura ~Saizou x Felicia (~=magic moms can be switched around) ~Asama x Orochi Kaze x Hana (I want to avoid doing the same pairings as in Nohr, so if Mozume-Kaze before, none of that now) Silas x Mozume Nishiki x Azura (Rinkah is alone, mostly cause I heard she's a subpar unit) Edited January 24, 2016 by Soonaynay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shephen Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Assuming this is for main game wise Nohr: Xander x Kamui (unchangeable) If she is in a class that gives +Spd then it will be pretty good Leo x Nyx works Odin x Elise Works, though will take quite awhile to pair since Elise is a staff bot Zero x Camilla Pretty good Flannel x Azura (thought Azura could use the defensive support bonus, plus their kids should be pretty great?) Azura doesn't really need defensive bonuses since she should never really be in a position where she is attacked. The resulting Shigure will be really great, though Velour will take a pretty big hit to her bulk Lazward x Charlotte (like this one for the supports/personality more tbh) Works Kaze x Mozume They don't really help each other at all. The resulting Midoriko would be really good though Silas x Effie Works Arthur x Berka Good for Beruka, meh for Arthur and Lutz Benoit x Pieri Benoit and Ignis get basically nothing, but Pieri really likes this pairing Jacob x Felicia (basically the leftovers, but don't their modifiers clash?) Pretty terrible pairing (Luna is alone, mostly because I dislike her personality) Hoshido: (much more unsure about this list; a lot can be switched around) Jacob x Kamui (can marry Kaze, Subaki, or Takumi instead if optimization deems it necessary) One of the best pairings Ryoma x Kagerou Best pairing Takumi x Oboro (vassal-lord love) Aight pairing Subaki x Hinoka (red-haired Matoi yes) Hinoka gets nothing and Baki doesn't get any benefits for awhile. Meh pairing Hinata x Setsuna (balance out Hinata's terrible speed, and vice versa for Setsuna's paltry defense/strength?) One of Hinata's best options ~Yomi x Sakura Best pairing ~Saizou x Felicia (~=magic moms can be switched around) Saizou does like the initial speed boost. Grey and Felicia don't like it to much ~Asama x Orochi Works out I guess. Asama is weird Kaze x Hana (I want to avoid doing the same pairings as in Nohr, so if Mozume-Kaze before, none of that now) Neither unit gets much benefit from this Silas x Mozume Silas doesn't get much out of this. Mozu gets cav which is great and the Sophie will be pretty great. Nishiki x Azura No benefit at all to anyone involved really. (Rinkah is alone, mostly cause I heard she's a subpar unit) Responses in bold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonaynay Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Any suggestions to how I can improve the Kaze x Mozume, Arthur x Beruka, Benoit x Pieri, Jakob x Felicia pairings? Will switching Beruka with Pieri help Lutz at all? And where can I put Felicia? Would Saizou x Orochi and Asama x Felicia work out better? And who should I pair Azura with?

CompteSecours Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Subaki x Hinoka (red-haired Matoi yes) Hinoka gets nothing and Baki doesn't get any benefits for awhile. Meh pairing But it gives a stronk Matoi tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will switching Beruka with Pieri help Lutz at all? And where can I put Felicia? Would Saizou x Orochi and Asama x Felicia work out better? And who should I pair Azura with? Switching Pieri and Beruka would improve it. Kaze would like Effie/Camilla/Beruka/Pieri. Only Odin, Leo and Corrin like Felicia pairings other wise she doesn't help out much. Switching Orochi and Felicia around is till the same problem. You aren't going to be getting all the kids in normal run anyways without grinding so you don't need to focus on getting absolutely everyone optimal(which is pretty hard to do with everyone) Subaki x Hinoka (red-haired Matoi yes) Hinoka gets nothing and Baki doesn't get any benefits for awhile. Meh pairing But it gives a stronk Matoi tho Oboro gives basically the same Matoi and helps Baki out immediately and Baki helps her out as well. Hinoka doesn't want anything to do with Baki anyways and there are better options for Baki and Matoi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriotto Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Assuming this is for main game wise Responses in bold Can you explain why JacobxFelicia is bad? i mean thier stat clash is that devastating for Deere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shephen Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Jakob and Felicia have pretty polar availability so getting them paired up isn't really happening until really late in the game. Not to mention both are support units. Dia is fine, just the everything before getting him is the part that makes the pairing really bad.

Byleth Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Subaki x Hinoka (red-haired Matoi yes) Hinoka gets nothing and Baki doesn't get any benefits for awhile. Meh pairing But it gives a stronk Matoi tho Hinoka gets infamous Samurai, Baki and Matoi gets Lance Fighter for Lancefaire, Breaking Sky and Flamboyant.. I think it's a pretty big thing.

I think it's a pretty big thing. Hinoka doesn't want Samurai. She has everything she needs in the Peg Line and Lancer line except the cavalier stuff and like Mag +2 from Spell Casters. Lancefaire and Flamboyant come really late and aren't really worth mentioning(Flamboyant isn't even a good main game skill).

Shephen Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Second Servant joins at the end of chapter 15 in all the routes. Second joining Jakob is pretty bad, and Second joining Felicia is a pretty good staff bot. Both don't lend well to pairing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Paladin X Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) A little bit of advice. For Kaze, you need to pair someone with high Speed AND Luck to fully benefit Midoriko. Even better the mother has access to Luck scaling skills like Stubbornness, Smithy Skill, Draconic Shield, and Miracle are useful skills that Midoriko should access. Kaze x Mozu isn't an ideal pairing since many of the skills Mozu has access too is accessible to Midoriko herself (since she can naturally access the Great Merchant class like Mozu, and can obtain Line of Death from inheritance from her father). Getting access to the Hoshido skill and Flamboyant is also useful for MidorikoSome of the good pairing examples include Azura (naturally high speed and luck growths, and can pass down Luck +4), Felicia (also have high luck and speed growths, and can reclass into Hero class to gain access to Stubbornness for Midoriko to gain via inheritance), Oboro (reasonable speed and luck growths), Hinoka (same reason for Oboro), Charlotte (her Str+ bonus really help negate the -Str Midoriko get screwed over by Kaze), Sakura (arguable one of the best options since Midoriko can grab Miracle there), Elise (if you want to make Midoriko a magic user or a candidate for Explosive Shuriken Maid), and Elfie (same reasons why Charlotte is a good option).Anyways, here are some of my suggested pairing for each route, I'm hoping for feedback and see if this is any better from the OP:Birthright:Kaze x Avatar with Luck+ modifier and Oni Savage secondary classSaizou x MozuAsama x OboroRyouma x Kagerou (this one I agree with)Takumi x HanaHinata x Setsuna (also agree with this one)Tsukuyomi x OrochiJakob x AzuraSubaki x RinkahSilas x SakuraNishiki x FeliciaConquest:Xander x CharlotteNiles x AzuraLeo x Nyx (this one I agree with)Benolt x BerukaSilas x MozuOdin x Elise (also agree with this one)Kaze x FeliciaFlannel x PieriArthur x ElfieJakob x Avatar with Strength+Lazward x CamiliaRevelations route is a little trickier since there is more pairing options between Nohr/Hoshido characters, so I'll do a list of recommended pairings in another post. Hinoka doesn't want Samurai. She has everything she needs in the Peg Line and Lancer line except the cavalier stuff and like Mag +2 from Spell Casters. Lancefaire and Flamboyant come really late and aren't really worth mentioning(Flamboyant isn't even a good main game skill). Flamboyant is actually quite good on Midoriko though. :| Edited January 25, 2016 by Dark Paladin X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoXDS Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 even if Lancefaire/Flamboyant are pretty late, Breaking Sky is still plenty big. and also saying Hinoka gets nothing vs gets something she doesn't necessarily need is completely different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Flamboyant is actually quite good on Midoriko though. :| On what account? Because even if it was true, I'd be extremely hesitant to use a skill that obviously helps the enemy out more than it does the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine that with Flamboyant and the Hoshido skill and something like Miracle, you're going to have a Midoriko that is hard to kill. Or get something like Extravagence, Line of Death, and Easy Life, you'll have a Midoriko that does tons of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonaynay Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 For Kaze x Felicia, the speed and luck sounds really good, but doesn't Midoriko get strength screwed? Would you be running a magic Midoriko instead?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 According to Fire Emblem wiki, it does. Well, either way, Miracle, Kaze's personal, and Draconic Shield are the most useful of all the skills with an activation rate based on luck... Not that that's saying very much.

Dark Paladin X Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 For Kaze x Felicia, the speed and luck sounds really good, but doesn't Midoriko get strength screwed? Would you be running a magic Midoriko instead?? Pretty much in some degree yeah. The strength doesn't matter since she does make a good Explosive Shuriken Maid. Also, Midoriko can get Stubbornness from inheritance via her mother, Felicia (and if you manage to get Renewal via Logbooking, this will make a nice combination). Also, IIRC, Midoriko will end up having around 22.5% ish growth rate in her Strength, combine that with Great Merchant's strength growth and later reclass her into a Maid once you max her strength, she should be a reasonable hybrid unit. But...for the most part, Midoriko should mostly be treated as a utility unit rather than an offensive unit since most of the Luck% skills are utility based.

Vuego21 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 For the Nohr side. I need help with those pairings. I have a female avatar with +SPD who should I pair her with? Also, is Silas a better match for Effie or is Arthur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
