...yes, okay, but, like, what aspect of FE: Awakening are you focusing on? My reading is that you're playing to kill the final boss, in which case, you don't need all these kids; Olivia!Lucina's bases hurt, and Galeboys don't get Galeforce without excessive grinding (which you already say you're trying to avoid). Not to mention the kids that are just hard to get or otherwise not worth it.
In-game pairings are basically completely different from postgame ones, and frankly, even on Hard/Classic you can do nearly anything and still come out fine. The question you're asking is no longer simply "which dads are good on which kids". It is "which kids are good in the campaign" measured by easy paralogues, good availability, potent class sets, and nice bases.
Then ask "which dads fit best on the good kids" (good class and stat inheritance, possibly advantageous skill passdown as well) as well as "which dads fit best with those kids' mothers" (advantageous and complementary class access and pair-up stat bonuses). For example, Stahl (Paladin or GK) passing Str and Def to Cordelia (Dark Flier) passing Spe and Res to Stahl. Notice how both units get almost exactly the stats they really want? In contrast, Lon'qu has enough speed and gets nothing he wants from Cordelia, and Cordelia doesn't care that much about getting more speed, too, so unless a second seal is spent, for example to send LQ to Wyvern Rider, you get a pretty average combat pair.
I just hate pairing Chrom with Sumia because I've done it so many times. It gets boring fast. If you really want to why I put Olivia with Chrom is because I took a bet with a guy at work. Plus I'm only playing the game to beat the final boss. The main reason why I try to get all the kids is because of the extra experience you get when you get those paralogues.
The only kids that I really care about are Lucina, Morgan, Kjelle, Severa, Owain, Inigo, and Noire. The others Cynthia, Brady, Yarne, Nah, Laurent, and Gerome I don't really care about. I mean if you think of better pairings, please let me know.
EDIT: I redid the list while mainly the main kids that will be using on this run. Just need to figure out who to put with Owain and Inigo and yes I decided to put Chrom with Sumia, so that is why Inigo still needs a dad.

EBay and amazon are your best bets.

I ask again... Exactly what is this for??? If this is for in-game, then (1) why are you marrying Chrom to Olivia, and (2) why the emphasis on Galeforce, knowing it won't be relevant until near endgame??
I am marrying Olivia to Chrom because I'm tired of marrying Chrom to Sumia. Plus an Olivia! Lucina can make a devastating Morgan. I'm not really focused on Galeforce on them but f it happens, then it happens. We all know that Severa's and Inigo's paralogues can be down right hard on hard/ classic.

Any particular reason this isn't in the Pairing Thread...? Well, I suppose it doesn't matter that much...
None of your pairings are anywhere below A tier for Apotheosis optimisation in a vacuum, but on a more structural, team-composition level, you may run into issues (no very fast magical units, not many options for very good snipers). That said, it's worth asking exactly what you're pairing for. If you're doing the main campaign, you don't need this many characters. If you're doing Lunatic+, you don't want this many characters. If you're pairing for cute supports, you probably don't care about anything we say either way. Without knowing your purpose, it can be hard to advise.
That said, there is one point I can bring up now. Vaike!Nah is a physical female hard support, and one of the best, with Axefaire from her dad's inheritance for use on General (to hit hard) or Hero (for +Spe on her partner). The problem here is that physical hard support girls usually want physical galeboys, and Inigo is your only physical galeboy. Inigo's supports with Nah are arguably the worst in the game. Be sure you can live with shipping them before committing. You can go Hero and pair off with a spellcaster (Owain or Brady), but I'm not a fan of this when said spellcaster could probably wring a Valkyrie, Dark Flier, or Bride instead.
Even though I may not use all the kids, I still try to get all kids. The main kids I use are Lucina (Robin's wife), Morgan (Robin and Lucina's kid), Severa, Inigo (Chrom's son), Owain, Kjelle, Noire, and Gerome. The other kids won't be used that much.
I currently don't have all of the DLC, so no one can go Bride or Dread Fighter right. Plus I never grind my character's level out because that totally takes the challenge out of the game. But I will try to get Galeforce for Inigo and Owain before I get them. Plus Severa, Lucina, Morgan, Kjelle, Noire, and Cynthia can all gain Galeforce.
-
I married Kaze on Brthright before. The boon and bane was +Str/-Def. Midori and Kana turn into nightmares. I also married my Kagero!Shiro. That was fun.
-
Mainly I pair her with Ricken or Robin.
-
Robin (+Str/-Luck) x Lucina
Chrom x Sumia
Stahl x Cordelia
Donnel x Sully
Gaius x Tharja
Libra x Lissa
Lon'qu x Olivia
Virion x Panne
Vaike x Nowi
Henry x Cherche
Ricken x Maribelle
Gregor x Miriel
Not sure who to put with the rest. But those are the main kids that I will be using in the game except for Inigo and Owain for I still need to figure out the dads for them.
-
I'll be getting her to go with Elise.

Oboro is quite cute and she's one of the characters that confesses to Corrin. Though I don't like how they just drop her love for Tacomeat.
I usually never put those 2 together. I usually save Kagero or Azura for Takumi. Oboro goes with Hinata or Subaki most of the time.
-
I have always liked Oboro myself.

Well, I don't think there's much else that I'd call a worthwhile pass down. so...
I consider other skills a worthwhile pass down over Dragon Fang. Dragon Fang just doesn't feel that great to me. Its kinda lackluster in my opinion.
-
Not a big fan of Dragon Fang and Astra. Plus Shiro can get them with ease.
-
Would Vantage and Sol be better for getting Shiro earlier? If i have to i can always buy Axebreaker for Shiro. I know Vantage isn't that great, but since Ryoma already has it, then I just need Sol on Corrin.

I'm doing 2 playthroughs at the same time, 1 on Birthright and 1 on Conquest. Both of them are on Hard Classic. Both playthroughs will have same Avatar. Just the only difference in the Avatar is one letter in their name and their secondary class. They both have the same boon and bane, which is +Strength/-Luck. So here are the pairings:BIRTHRIGHT:
Adrianne (secondary class is Fighter) x Ryoma
Hinoka x Silas
Tamuki x Kagero
Subaki x Sakura
Hinata x Setsuna
Kaden x Hana
Azama x Oboro
Saizo x Felicia
Orochi x Hayato
Kaze x Azura
Jakob x MozuOn the bench will be Rinkah. I'm only going to use Rinkah to pass on Oni Savage to Adrianne thanks to the Friendship Seal. I went Fighter for the secondary mainly for Corrin and Kana. Ryoma might see it if I really want him to. But my main focus is to get Sol and Axebreaker and pass them on to Shiro. Not sure about the Azama x Oboro pairing, but I rather use Oboro instead of using Rinkah, because Hayato and Corrin will also have access to Oni Savage. I thought about moving Setsuna to Azama and putting Oboro with Hinata.CONQUEST:
Adrianna (secondary class is Samurai) x Xander
Camilla x Keaton
Leo x Felicia
Elise x Odin
Arthur x Effie
Benny x Beruka
Laslow x Charlotte
Jakob x Peri
Niles x Azura
Silas x Selena
Kaze x MozuOn the bench will be Nyx. I went Samurai for Corrin because I mainly want to pass down Astra and Swordfaire to Seigbert. Plus with Swordmaster, Xander can keep that sword of his. I also don't plan on buying skills, unless it's for Kaden and Keaton, so Selkie and Velouria won't get that level 5 skill. -
Looking for any fun skills for Jakob. Nothing that Corrin, Keaton, Laden, Mozu, or Azura can have.
-
Percy is pretty darn good. Especially when his mom is Effie. Granted he is not my favorite kid. But he still puts in work when you want to use him. Arthur is good if use him. I never take Arthur to Beserker anyway. He always goes to Hero for me. The only Berserkers I use are Beruka, Charlotte, and Corrin.
UPDATE: Corrin (aka Casandra in this run) is currently at Level 1 Oni Chieftain with 26 Strength, 20 Speed, 12 Magic, 10 Luck, 17 Skill, 22 Defense, and 12 Resistance. She has a C-Rank in Axes and an E-Rank in tomes. Her main weapon is a Devil's Axe (Steel Axe +1), but she also has a Beruka's Axe, Hand Axe, and a Disrobing Gale. This is as of getting ready to start Chapter 16.
-
Turning Odin into a Samurai really isn't that bad. I usually do it once he gets Malefic Aura. Plus if you use the battle or visit rewards, you will get a free Arms Scroll to get him to a D-Rank in Swords and give him a forged Iron Sword +2. But he doesn't stay there for long. Usually once he gets Vantage, he either goes back to Dark Mage or he goes to Grandmaster thanks to the Fell Brand.
Depending on what class Corrin is or who Corrin is going to marry, sometimes I turn Corrin into a Dread Fighter first, so Corrin can start using his or her Axes (for Hero, Berserker, Oni Chieftain) or Shuriken/ Dagger (for Master Ninja). it saves that second Heart Seal for somebody else.
Mozu is another good option for a Heart Seal, if you want a second Archer for chapter 10 and you don't want to try to get Anna. But my Mozu usually goes to Dread Fighter on Conquest.

First things first, if you intend to buy skills off other people's MyCastles this entire discussion is irrelevant. Just pick any class to like/haven't picked yet and then buy whatever skills you want for Velouria, there's not even anything to discuss.
But if I just misunderstood your intention and you want Keaton to learn LBreaker naturally to pass it down than 1) you'll have to give Keaton at least 4 levels in Blacksmith which is really bad for him because he'll have shitty offense to E rank weapons in the endgame, which is the harder bit of the game 2) he might never even reach lv.15 promoted, only a few characters bar the Avatar do supposing you don't grind 3) Keaton will most likely learn it only in the last few chapters, which means you'll have to delay Velouria's recruitment until the endgame: don't you want to use her for more than 3 chapters?
See, the big problem with Lv.15 skills is that they come into play very late in the game if at all, which means you can't really plan out a child build around it unless it's okay for you to recruit said child around chapter 25 or 26.
About Deathblow, it's much better because it's only a level 5 promoted skill that comes into play in the mid-game, but I never understood why people want so badly to put it on every character in the game: it's fairly good skill but unless you use it in conjunction with other Crit boosting stuff it's nothing to write home about. There is many a good skill which are just better to pass down than a measly and unreliable 20 crit rate like Elbow Room, Str+2, Lunge, Duelist's Blow, Sol, Dragon Fang, Draconic Hex, Shelter, Strong Riposte and quite a few others I won't bother listing.
To be more specific about your Velouria: shapeshifter's big issue is that you don't really want to reclass them, which makes their skill options pretty limited. Supposing you don't reclass neither Velouria nor Keaton I think the best to do would be to capitalize on her massive Strength (since you're +Str), which means passing down either Elbow Room or Strong Riposte since they synergize with her Odd Shaped skill netting her +7/+3 damage on odd/even turns respectfully. Sol could be another neat option and would give her a lot of staying power thanks to her Better Odds skill. Darting Blow from the Peg Knight line would let her double a lot of stuff without the need for a pair up. Notice how you can still pass down any of these skills (bar Darting Blow) by having the avatar use a friendship seal and reach an A support with the appropriate units and still retain Oni Chieftain as your talent. Which is a good talent in this situation. Why? Leaving Velouria aside, your Avatar will get acces to the Fighter class line if you marry Keaton, which synergizes very well with Oni Chieftan IMHO. You can reclass to Oni Chieftain in order to build up your Axe rank and get a bit of bulk in the process (but not much speed I'm afraid), grab Death Blow and then actually put said skill to good use by reclassing to Berserker. Your avatar will become a fast heavy hitter with satisfying bulk and a metric crap ton of Crit (+20 from Death Blow, + 10 from Gamble, + 25 from Killer Axe and +20 from Berserker).
I usually only buy skills for Xander, Benny, Niles, Keaton, Laslow, Jakob, and Selena (when she is married to Laslow) when playing on Conquest since they have the same starting class as their kids (Siegbert, Ignatius, Nina, Velouria, Dwyer (when I actually get him), and Soliel), so I don't have to pass on a skill they can learn themselves. I figured buying Lancebreaker would be the safest bet for Keaton to pass down to Velouria especially when playing on Conquest.
I usually never ever take Keaton, Velouria, Kaden, and Selkie out of their regular class. I have thought about taking Kana to Wolfssegner though, so Kana can learn those skills. What I could do is go to Hero until Corrin gets Sol either from A ranking with Selena or marriage with Keaton. Then I could pass on Sol and Lancebreaker to Velouria. Then if I used the Friendship Seal, I can always use the Partner Seal after that and turn Corrin into a Berserker. That's one of the main reasons why I went Oni Savage is because it works great with the Berserker. I will only go Blacksmith on Corrin if I decide I wanted to get Salvage Blow and Lancebreaker on Corrin.
-
Hey guys I was wondering, what is the best secondary class for Corrin if married to Keaton? Corrin's boon/ bane is +Strength/ -Luck. I thought about going for Oni Savage because I can give Velouria Death Blow from Corrin and I can buy Lancebreaker for Keaton to pass down to Velouria. Plus it gives me a class, I barely ever used.
-
I've married first gen females like Selena and Beruka. But I still want to marry first gens like Effie and Peri. Still want to marry Felicia as well, but I do that on any route.
My next run I may marry Keaton. Giving Velouria Death Blow and Lancebreaker seems like a fun idea.
