I am working on "filling out" what I'm calling my "male main file". Unlike my three FE-playing siblings who share a cart, I have my own cartridge, so I plan on having a female main file (which I've already completed), a male main file (which I'm working on now), and then the final file will be reset so I can get more marriages.
On my female file I got every single possible support conversation on a single save file, and on this one I'm going to max out every character with Robin-M and Morgan-F, which means in future runs I'll only have to worry about marriages and father-child supports (the latter category also includes Lucina-with-mom and Morgan-F-with-mom if applicable).
These characters are going to be used both in completing my supports for this file, and in creating a StreetPass team to (attempt to) annoy my siblings with when I visit for holidays.
Certain criteria I have:
I dislike Rally skills. On higher difficulties they might be integral to success, but to me they feel - especially when used by the AI - like a waste of an attack that could be used actually hurting the opponent. As such, no Rally skills. Non-negotiable.
I don't have access to DLC, with the exception of that triple pack that had the gold-grinding level, the EXPonential Growth level, and Infinite Regalia. As such, no DLC skills. I plan on soon acquiring Smash Brethren 2 to gain access to the Bride class and its two (really, one) skills, but haven't yet. This is non-negotiable.
Characters final forms will be within their original class tree, and this is non-negotiable. The exception will be Anna, who is the reason I'm getting the Bride class.
I adore the Galeforce and Armsthrift skills. If a character has access to one (or both) of these, they're getting it (or them). I also like Lethality, but I recognize that it's the wrong kind of annoying for a StreetPass team, and will only give it to a few characters.
No criticizing my marriage choices for not giving strong children. As this is one of my two main files, I tried to make marriages based on my perceptions of personalities, either by making an ironic pair match up or by making a cute couple.
What I have now:
Mathoo (Robin-M)
Lula II (Robin-F from female Run, brought in through the Avatar Logbook)
Chrom
Lissa
Frederick
Virion
Sully
Vaike
Stahl
Miriel
Kellam
Sumia
Lon'qu
Ricken
Maribelle
Panne
Gaius
Cordelia
Gregor
Nowi
Libra
Tharja
Olivia
Cherche
Henry
Lucina
And that's all the early-game acquisitions. That's probably enough for now, will post the late-game/optional characters tomorrow.
