Mister Marlowe

I'd suggest Black Eagles because: A) OP was already leaning in that direction, B) If you don't plan to make a separate save like Tolvir said, you will have to play Part 1 of their story twice, and you might be bored of dealing with the same group of students twice in a row instead of going Eagle, Deer, Eagle, C) Ferdinand and Caspar don't get their B-Supports until Part 2, so New Game+ data from an Eagle run will make it easier to recruit them in a later Deer run

The Ashe x Catherine B-Rank Support requires the Paralogue involving both of them to be complete, due to its events being discussed, which expires on 2/22 pre-timeskip.

An interesting plan. Will probably be hardest if you go Eagles, given that many units naturally proficient with Axes and/or flying will be unrecruitable, plus Hubert's very anti-Wyvern skill growth rates (though you already mentioned having a support mage or two). But, it's not unfeasible! I wish you best of luck dealing with archers when the time comes, of course!

You could always try out Fighter > Armored Knight/Cavalier > Great Knight. For Blue Lions, there are students from both other houses that require Armor and Riding experience. For the other routes, it fills a defensive niche in your party that would otherwise be taken by units like Dedue or Gilbert. And in both, it helps alleviate that sub-40 Def growth and makes it less stressful to take some risks in battle. The one bad thing about Great Knight Byleth is that you'll have to spend some free time getting Mentored until you at least unlock Knight and Cavalier, but if you're New Game+, that takes away a bit of the issue.

As it's been a while since this topic was last updated, I've decided to include links to some conversations not already covered, concerning the DLC characters currently released internationally.

Chapter 10 on Hard...the 'survive 11 turns' map? I got through on Casual with mid-battle saves and no promoted units (other than Camilia, of course), but if you're going through Classic, I wish you the best of luck. For the most part, my team was focused around the middle, with Niles using the Balista (you may need to share Azura with him if it looks like he's in range of ninjas and liable to getting pulled out into danger, though). Enemies can't be killed by Balista shots, but they can be reduced to 1 HP, so focus on other groups if it's looking like your average units can easily kill them. Especially Sky Warriors/Peg Knights. Nyx and/or Odin can also use a magic orb nearby for similar purposes; it's probably better to shoot it downwards than to the leftmost front, as even if they break through the barricade, it's not hard to put a unit in their path. You'll want at least one defensive unit like Effie headed up and to the right, and preferably with both a Javelin and a good support partner, so that archer reinforcements can be dealt with before Beruka and Camilia need to fret. Eventually, the barricades at the middle will crumble, and the rivers will dry up as well; your main concern at that point should still be defending the middle, as a good-movement unit like Silas can quickly retreat if a fighter approaches from the left. Try to visit the houses when you have a chance to for rewards, but it's a fool's errand to go after Takumi; it's much wiser to get a good defensive line going than to head south and leave a hole in your formation. Camilia and Beruka are invaluable for dealing with any Peg Knights that manage to get by, and the Royal Princess is also good at handling at least one of Takumi's vassals; in my play through, Camilia and Severa easily dispatched Oboro, while it took the combined strength of four units and a lucky critical to topple Hinata on the other side of the map. ...At least, that's what I suggest. Sorry if it's not the kind of advice you were hoping for.

Fascinating. I have a feeling that the Prophecies of Sky, Land, and Depths refer to events in Birthright, Conquest, and Revelations, respectively...but that's just guessing over vague descriptions. Thank you very much for these translations!

Well, I reclassed Arthur into his wife's class (Effie-as-Knight) at Level 12. That's pretty much the only Seal I've used so far, though I'll probably Promote him at Level 20. Then I'll have to worry about whether to swap him back to a Berserker/Hero at Promoted Level 5 to better use his natural growths, or wait until I get a Level 15 skill...

After fully looking through the topic, I suppose that Silver Lightning has called dibs on Odin/Nyx, Silas/Elise, and Arthur/Effie, and Galenforcer mentioned pursuing Odin/Elise in earnest. But it looks as though I can still make some contributions! So, then, here's Jakob and Silas's conversations! [spoiler=Link to Wiki Page, which already includes C-Rank]http://serenesforest.net/wiki/index.php/Fates_Supports/Jakob_Silas [spoiler=Jakob/Silas B-Rank] Silas: … Jakob: Oh dear, a do-gooder in the dumps. I’d best keep my distance. Silas: Jakob… Jakob: Ugh. Kindly keep those puppy-dog eyes to yourself. Silas: No, just listen for a second. Jakob: Absolutely not. Whatever is troubling you, keep it to yourself. Silas: Don’t say that! You can at least give me a little of your time. Jakob: A little is all you want, eh? You have 10 seconds. Talk. Silas: What do you say to someone who adamantly refuses to battle? Jakob: So then, some fresh-faced young solder has cold feet? You care far too much… The idea of getting so involved in someone else’s issues is utterly foreign to me. Silas: He said he doesn’t want to die, because he left someone behind when he went to war. Jakob: Then he should return home. Silas: That’s what I said, but he protested that he can’t abandon his unit here. Jakob: Then he should stay. Silas: Come on, be serious! Jakob: I’m being as serious as I need to be. If anyone isn’t approaching the problem with sufficient gravity, it’s your soldier. If he had time to share his sob story with you… he has time to think seriously about his dilemma and find a solution. Silas: …You’re right. There’s nothing I can tell him he doesn’t already know. He needs to decide himself. Thanks, Jakob. I’ll go and have a chat with the poor guy. Jakob: What a waste of my time… [spoiler=Jakob/Silas A-Rank] Silas: Jakob! Wait up! Jakob: Ah, if it isn’t Silas the do-gooder. Silas: Thanks for your advice the other day. The soldier I was talking to ended up going back home. Jakob: I don’t need a debriefing on this. It’s none of my concern. Silas: Hahah, you’re such a sourpuss. Jakob: Don’t laugh at me. Silas: Sorry. It’s just that you keep calling me a do-gooder… And it turns out you’re not such a bad guy yourself. Jakob: …Excuse me? Silas: Just take the other day, for instance. I asked you to listen to a problem of mine, and you gave me some advice on it. Jakob: … Silas: I have to say, it was a huge weight off my shoulders. I really owe you. Jakob: Then repay me at once. Silas: Sorry, what? Jakob: I demand you repay the time I wasted listening to your drivel. Me, a do-gooder…it’s absurd. It’s slander. I won’t stand for it. You will restore that time to me at once. Silas: J-just how do you suggest I give you back your time?! Jakob: There you go again, expecting me to solve your problems. Reprehensible. I’ll be collecting each and every second from you before long. Silas: All right already! I take back what I said about you being a do-gooder. You’re as cold as the wind off the Northern Fortress tower… Jakob: So long as we understand each other. That way, I won’t get caught up in dealing with other people’s tedious problems. Silas: This is ridiculous. How far are you willing to go to hide your embarrassment? Jakob: Are you still here? Silas: Not for long!

It's been years since I last participated in the forums, but I was incredibly eager to assist in helping out with Support Conversations for the new game. Now, I did not see some grand master list of 'dibs' at the start of the topic, so I don't know how helpful I can be at this moment. But I know that the following supports aren't on EmblemWiki yet, so please let me know if I can add them to this master post: Jakob/Silas: B-Rank and A-Rank Silas/Elise: B-Rank Arthur/Effie: B-Rank, A-Rank, and S-Rank Odin/Niles: C-Rank and B-Rank Odin/Elise: C-Rank Odin/Effie: C-Rank Odin/Nyx: C-Rank and B-Rank

Pardon me; I'm a first-time poster, but a long-time reader. If it's not too much of a problem, I would very much enjoy becoming a part of this project. I've witnessed various supports that have not been included in the list as of yet, and while I will have to ask permission from original claimers to post some of them, I am eager to contribute. If nothing else, I don't think anyone has claimed dibs on the Morgan (F)/Anna (Parent - Generic) or Noire/Frederick (Parent - Generic) supports yet, and I can post those lickety-split. EDIT: And here they are. Noticeably, Anna references her store on occasion, and Frederick is a calm man that uses words like 'confiscate'. [spoiler=Morgan (F) X Anna (Parent)][spoiler=C-Rank Support]Morgan: Hmm... I wonder why I have no memory of my mother... All my memories of Father are so crisp and clear... I remember what an amazing tactician he was, all the time we studied together... But nothing at all about my mother. It's one big blank. Anna: What are you up to, Morgan? Morgan: Mother! That's amazing! I was just thinking about you! Is this fate?! This is totally fate! Family-style fate! ...Wait, no. How did Father put it? "We're not pawns of some scripted fate. It's the invisible ties we forge that bing us." So yea, it's not fate. It's the whole invisible bond-link... thing! Anna: Mm, I do like bonds. And stocks! Morgan: Yup! Even without my memories, there's an invisible thread that link us. Er, but that reminds me... I was just wondering how I could have possibly forgotten you, Mother. Do you think maybe you could help me get those memories back? Anna: I'd be happy to try. After all- Morgan: Yay! Thanks so much! I'll start preparing. Oh, I can't wait to get started! Anna: Well, she's certainly got energy to spare... [spoiler=B-Rank Support]Morgan: Mother? Do you have a moment? Anna: Yes, of course, dear. The shop's closed today. Morgan: Perfect! Then let's get started on Project Get Memories of Mom Back! Step one--- figure out how we're going to trigger some flashbacks. I've already tried banging my head against a post, but nothing. I mean, it made me dizzy and nauseated, but it didn't unearth any hidden memories. What do you think, Mother? Perhaps a stone wall would work better? Anna: Let's just...hold off on the head smashing for now, shall we? Now let's see here... Hmm, I don't seem to have anything in stock that cures amnesia... Perhaps you could try just staring at me for a bit? You know, right into my eyes. Morgan: Argh, that's perfect! You're a genius! I must have seen your face a million times in the future. It's bound to bring SOMETHING back if I stare at it long enough. Okay, sorry to invade your personal space here, but... Here goes... ...... ......... ............ ............... Drats! It's not working. I don't remember a thing. It's like... Have you ever stared at a word so long it kind of fell apart? And you think, "Is that how that's spelled? Wait is that even a real WORD?!" Except here it's "Is that what Mother looked like?" Anna: Er, right. Perhaps that's enough of the memory project for one day? Morgan: Sure... I'm still a little dizzy from banging the post earlier, to be honest... But this doesn't end here! I'm not giving up until I remember you, Mother! [spoiler=A-Rank Support]Morgan: *Sigh* No luck today, either... I'm going crazy trying to remember you. I feel so useless! I'm just so... *sniff* Why can't I... *sob* Anna: Come now, Morgan. No tears. Morgan: B-but I know I must have loved you just as much as I loved Father. I bet we had a million memories together, and the thought of having lost them... I feel like I failed you. Like I... Like I... *sob* Anna: Morgan... Morgan: *Sniff* S-sorry. I guess I got a little carried away there... Ngh! M-my head! ...What---?! Anna: What's wrong?! Morgan: I... I remembered something! Just one tiny little memory, but... I remember! You were smiling at me... and you called my name... Ha ha! Yes! You looked a little bit older, but it was DEFINITELY you! Oh thank you, Mother. I never would have remembered without your help. And hey, this is great! If I can get one memory back, maybe I can get the rest! It may take time, but I won't stop trying until I remember everything about you. Anna: Take all the time you need, dear. I'm not going anywhere! Morgan: Aw... Thanks, Mom. [spoiler=Noire X Frederick (Parent)][spoiler=C-Rank Support]Noire: *Sniff* *sniffle* Frederick : Noire? What's wrong? Why are you crying? Noire: *Sniff* I'm not... Mother cursed me to have a *sniff* runny nose for three days straight. Frederick : That's...an oddly specific hex. Why would she do something like that? Noire: It's nothing new. *sniffle* Mother is always trying out some new spell or another. Every time she comes up with one, she *sniiiff/ uses me as her guinea pig. Frederick : Poor dear...Here, take my handkerchief. Noire: Th-thank you... *HOOONK!* Frederick : I can't let you suffer like this for three whole days... Don't worry, Noire. I'll have a talk with your mother and get this cleared up. Noire: Er... are you sure? That never really worked out for you in the future. Every time you talked back, Mother cursed you up to your eyeballs. ...Or sometimes she just cursed your eyeballs, and you cried yourself to sleep. Frederick : That's...rather pathetic. Noire: ...Yep. *sniff* Frederick: B-but that was a different me, right? Just wait--- I'll prove you can depend on me. Noire: Eep! W-well, you never talked like that before! Maybe things really can be different this time around. *sniiiff* [spoiler=B-Rank Support]Frederick : *Sniff* I'm sorry, Noire... It would seem I've let you down... *sniff* Noire: It's all right. I honestly expected this from the very beginning... But there's no need to cry. You tried, and that's all you could do. Frederick : I'm not crying. *sniff* Your mother hit me with a five-day runny-nose curse. Noire: Just like before... Frederick : Urgh... You did say this was how it played out in the future... *sniff* Well, look at the bright side--- at least your hex is broken now. *sniffle* Noire: Yep, juuust like before. You'd always come to my rescue by taking on Mother's curses yourself. Frederick: I suppose some things were simply meant to be... Noire: Maybe you're right. Maybe we're all fated to trace the same path as we did before... Frederick: Hmm? Noire: My coming back didn't change you, Father. So why should it change anything? It'll all happen again. My parents will die, and I'll be left alone... Why did I even bother coming back if it means watching my life fall apart again? Why... *sniff* Frederick : *Sniff* Oh, don't cry, sweetheart. Noire: FOOL! THESE ARE NO TEARS! Frederick: Er... sweetheart? Noire: Bwa ha ha! Such trifling matters cannot free the waters of my icy ducts, mortal! The only dribbling here is the unseemly nose flood seeping from your craven face! Frederick: Noire?! What are you... Noire: *Ahen* ...I'm sorry, Father. I think I need to step out and clear my head... Frederick: Noire, wait! There's no such thing as predetermined destiny! *sniff* [spoiler=A-Rank Support]Frederick: Do you have a moment, Noire? Noire: Oh... Hello, Father. What is it? Frederick: Have a look. Noire: ...Eeeek! M-Mother's cursing implements! Gods, there's so many... Father, what are you planning to do to me? Frederick: Ha ha, nothing to you, Noire. I confiscated these from your mother so she couldn't put any more weird hexes on you. Noire: You... you took away Mother's tools? But... you never did anything like this before... Frederick: Before, you said we couldn't change anything. That we're bound by fate. I thought perhaps I could try and lay that fear to rest. If I did something the future me couldn't, it would prove everything can change. Noire: Hmm... I guess that's true. The father I knew wouldn't even get near these tools, let alone take them. Frederick: I only changed because you came back to me. And together, we can change anything. All of us--- you, me, your mother... everyone. Noire: Just please don't ever leave me again. Frederick: Nothing's taking me away from you again. Not even death. Noire: That's... a little much, perhaps? But thanks. Frederick: Hmm... Do you feel that? A sudden sense of foreboding; a fury rising from the shadows... A Risen ambush? No... Bears? Is it bears? No... Urk! I-it's your mother! And she's FURIOUS! Noire: She must have realized you took all her toys. Frederick: *Sigh* I'd better disappear before I test that whole "not even death" promise... Bye, Noire! Love you! Noire: Wow, he's faster than I remember... And I can't recall Mother ever coming after him like this, either... Hey, maybe things really can change for the better!

Greetings, everyone! I'm a long-time Fire Emblem fan that has recently decided to make an account here, in order to assist in projects such as the Awakening English Support Conversations compendium. I will try my best to show good manners towards all of my fellow posters, and to be as helpful as I am able. Thank you for your time, and have a marvelous day!
