Laurent Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) If you can choose any two skills that work well together for a unit what would your favorite combination be? If you can, describe what unit would make the best use of those skills and what enemies the combination would be most effective against. Assume that the other three skills are All Stats+2, Discipline, and Limit Break. (Yes, I realize not all units can get them) Please don't use Rightful King as one of the skills....:( If you would like, take a look at the Skill Combinations suggested by others in the Your Recommended Skill Combinations section at the bottom of this post! (it's fairly lengthy as of now) Here are some examples of Two Skill Combinations: Lifetaker-Galeforce: Useful for any unit with high Attack and a good weapon; restores up to 100% HP Pavise-Aegis: Useful for any unit with high skill (particularly those with poor defenses); gives extra durability Aegis-Counter: Good for units with high Defense, Skill and HP; weakens effect of magic, bow, and dragonstone, while dealing back damage to (rng 1) sword, lance, axe, beaststone users. Sol-Vengeance: Good for hard-hitting, but fragile, units (ie: Cordelia as Sorcerer); if Sol doesn't activate to heal, Vengeance should prevent an enemy counterattack from felling the unit at low HP. I am particularly fond of the last one. So, anyone have any ideas or strategies involving a pair of skills? Edit: Your Recommended Skill Combinations (Anyone think ranking them is a good idea?) I put links to the posts where there are reasons for using the skill combinations. If the skill pair was listed in a post but not explained, there won't be a link to a post. explanation: #2 recommended for: explanation: #1 recommended for: explanation: #13 recommended for: explanation: #5 recommended for: explanation: #1 #6 recommended for: explanation: recommended for: explanation: #24 recommended for: Streetpass team characters (by #24) explanation: recommended for: explanation: recommended for: explanation: recommended for: Stahl (by #12) explanation: #14 recommended for: explanation: recommended for: wielders of (by #14) explanation: recommended for: Donnel and his children explanation: recommended for: Gerome (by #14) explanation: recommended for: explanation: recommended for: explanation: #18 recommended for: explanation: #20 recommended for: explanation: #20 recommended for: explanation: recommended for: / / explanation: #20 recommended for: explanation: #20 recommended for: explanation: #20 recommended for: explanation: #20 recommended for: Aversa!Morgan, DLC Micaiah and DLC Katarina (by #20) explanation: #20 recommended for: &/ explanation: #20 recommended for: dragons and bunnies manaketes and taguels explanation: #20 recommended for: Inigo with (by #20) explanation: recommended for: Cavalry Classes (by #25) explanation: #25 recommended for: explanation: #25 recommended for: explanation: #25 recommended for: explanation: recommended for: explanation: #25 recommended for: Wyvern Lords (by #25) explanation: #25 recommended for: Swordmaster with (by #25) explanation: #25 recommended for: explanation: recommended for: explanation: recommended for: &/ explanation: pros: #28 #40 cons: #42 recommended for: explanation: #33 recommended for: Edited June 3, 2013 by Laurent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karasz Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) + 50% HP restored every turn. Good on solo maps. Recommended for: F!Avatar, Lissa, Maribelle, Emmeryn, Sumia, any child that can inherit Cleric and Pegasus Knight classes, or that can inherit Relief. + Coupled with a mounted unit that has used grants 12-13 movement. Recommended for: Avatar, Lon'qu, Panne, any child that inherits Thief and Wyvern Rider class sets. + Another reason Nosferatank-Sorcerers are broken. Recommended for: Avatar, Tharja, Henry, Gangrel, Aversa, Libra, Cordelia, Severa, Laurent, and any other child that inherits Dark Mage. + Can I get a "hell yeah" for busting the weapon triangle? Recommended for: M!Avatar, any child that gets Wyvern Rider and Barbarian classes, or that can inherit Axefaire. + ^ Recommended for: Avatar, Say'ri, Yen'fay, Lon'qu, any child that gets Wyvern Rider and Myrmidon classes. + ^ Recommended for: F!Avatar, Cordelia, Severa, any child that can inherit Mercenary and Pegasus Knight classes, or that can inherit Lancefaire. + Ranged attacks won't touch you. Recommended for: Avatar, Tharja, Noire, Morgan, Severa, Cordelia, any child that inherits Dark Mage & Archer/Mercenary classes. + Good for weapon level grinding. Recommended for: Avatar, Morgan, any child that gets Mercenary and Cavalier classes. + Gives tome-wielding classes more of an advantage. Recommended for: Aversa!Morgan, DLC!Micaiah, DLC!Katarina + Coupled with a maxed-out Killer weapon or Ruin tome, you'll be practically unstoppable solo. Recommended for: M!Avatar, M!Morgan, Laurent, any children that get Barbarian and Mage classes. + / At least enemies will miss you quite often. Recommended for: Panne, Yarne, Nah (if she inherits Thief class), Panne!Morgan, Nowi!Morgan. + Used with a can give a good amount of money. Recommended for: Inigo, Olivia!Morgan. EDIT: Oh, I guess you need recommendations for units who can use these combos? Well, here you go! Edited June 3, 2013 by Karaszure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerker Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 checks the weapon your dude is equipping and grabs one of your move lol this could go on forever + Used with a can give a good amount of money. Would only work on Inigo, though. Despoil is redundant if Leif's Blade is already equipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 & explanation: #20 recommended for: Aversa, Aversa!Morgan, DLC Micaiah and DLC Katarina (by #20) Aversa can't get Tomefaire, as she doesn't have access to the Sage class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Aversa can't get Tomefaire, as she doesn't have access to the Sage class.

Airship Canon Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Counter/Vengeance & explanation: I jokingly call this combo "Love is Revenge". This combo isn't useful in the main game, or to the player at all really-- it's strictly a gag. But it punishes Range 1 Attackers oh so well. Simply put it causes any attacker (provided they don't kill on initiate) to take 1.5x+ the damage they dealt. Vengeance can easily hit 100% activation, and given the right circumstances this combo quickly becomes the death of the unwary. It was the theme of one of my more deadly streetpass teams-- for good reason. Adding in Miracle only increases its potency. recommended for: Streetpass Teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnel Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Rightful King + Lethality - I love this combo so much Acrobat + Pass - On cavalry classes like Dark Knight/Paladin/Great Knight/Bow Knight Lucky Seven + Quick Burn - Good dodge/hit Aggressor + Dual Strike+ - Stronger support attack Res+10 + Dual Guard+ - Higher Block against Magic Pavise + Tomebreaker - Tanker Iote's Shield + Swordbreaker - Remove weakness from Wyvern Lord Swordfaire + Dual Support+ - With Sol Katti as swordmaster will ensure high chance critical from support. Rally Heart + Rally Movement - +2 movement to all other units Charm + Bond - Team boost Veteran + Paragon - This counts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
