jnrust Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure if this was already posted but I'll start this since I'm too lazy to look. For me, I say that skills are most important for the children characters, but that's just me. What are your thoughts?

shadykid Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 90% skills, 10% stats (by which i assume caps) unless it's Morgan, because Morgan's the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstraLunaSol Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Skills are far more important. Passing down as much Armsthrift/Sol and Galeforce and good class sets for everyone so everyone has good offensive skills/utility skills. Matching stats together that go well should come next.

Da Bear Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I don't care about mods or skills because I never grind. I care about the things that actually matter work for a no-grind PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skill activation never gets that high. it's about growths. your tag is wrong, and you should feel bad for having that there I don't understand your post. Or you in general.

Konnor97 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Mainly skills because the difference of, at most, usually +/- 2 points for max stats isn't that big of a deal when I can have awesome skills passed around like Luna.

You obviously either haven't played or don't play well if you don't understand how easy training any non-Inigo child is. I really don't understand the second line. It's almost as if you're baiting me. Edited May 28, 2013 by bearclaw13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as if you're baiting me. not sure if serious although admittedly, the kids' bases are kinda dependent on the parent's growths anyway, so I guess they kinda go together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took out the crossed part of that post because it was stupid. And Growths > Bases when talking children is fairly obvious when you think about it instead of immediately disagreeing. You saying otherwise implied to me that you hadn't seriously used the children before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raine Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The character could have the best stats in the game, but if they don't have skills like Luna or Sol or SOMETHING to compliment those stats, it's not optimal. And imo: Caps>Growths>Bases But I'm not so concerned about turn count or no-grinding as I am about having strong units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULTRA PRODIGY NUXL Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Skills > Stats generally. However, the kid should have a bit of a stat influence because +5 strength is better than +0, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Class sets weren't mentioned. Skill activation never gets that high. it's about growths. I don't understand your post. Or you in general. Class sets are skills. Skills are class sets. The two are one and the same. As for growths... really? I'd say bases are far more important. Which really just means how well trained the parents are. But honestly, for in game, the main priorities if I were trying to optimise my pairings would be: 1) difficulty (how easy/hard is this pairing to make? It it quick or slow?) 2) Base states/growths (hurr durr train both parents) 3) Skills/class sets (can I pull off some neat combo quickly with the kid? Do I give him the options I need?) 4) Cap modifiers (mostly matters if they're going to hit important unpromoted caps. Promoted caps maybe matter late game, but late game is easy).

I agree with number 1. Its the main reason Inigo is so terrible. 2. As long as one parent is trained you can still get fine bases considering the growths they'll have and how fast they level up. 3. Some skills (like the better rallies) are nice but activation rates aren't really that good at all. I agree that it's nice to have good classes but most of the time the main parent has them covered. 4. I get what you say here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadykid Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 wait a sec why would caps matter ingame, it's not like the kids magically lose their stats if they ram their caps (because you can just instantly promote them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
