luigi bros Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 So after my save file was destroyed I'm getting right back at it and am looking to perfect my pairings. These are the ones I used in my previous file and my opinions. (This is for purely min-maxing, not personality etc.) Chrom/Olivia (Lucina was fine, and Inigo was excellent) +Spd/-Lck!Avatar/Tharja (Morgan was an excellent Sorcerer, and Noire was amazing as a Sniper with Galeforce and infinite Double Bow) Vaike/Lissa (Average really. I use Vaike as my Berserker with Inigo as the Swordmaster, I'm looking to improve here) Donnel/Sully (Galeforce and Armsthrift. Either Donnel or Gaius for Sully, and since the either child needing Galeforce is Nowi, and as a Manakete she doesn't need Armsthrift, I gave her Gaius and Sully Donnel) Frederick/Sumia (Decent, but also because all other options are taken) Ricken/Miriel (Laurent was superpowered) Henry/Maribelle (Brady made a good War Monk) Stahl/Yarne (Yarne was pretty good) Lon'qu/Cordelia (Amazing Severa) Cherche/Gregor (Gerome was great with Armsthrift) Gaius/Nowi (Previously explained) Their classes are (this I don't really want to change so pairings should revolve around maxing their potential in this class) Lucina: Great Lord Morgan: Sorcerer Inigo: Swordmaster Owain: Berserker Kjelle: Great Knight Sumia: Falcon Knight Laurent: Sage Brady: War Monk Noire: Sniper Yarne: Taguel Gerome: Wyvern Lord Severa: Hero Nowi: Manakete Any advice would be appreciated.

Meteor Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) Well you sure got over that quickly. Anyway, here are the modifications from your original pairings that I would suggest: Vaike!Nah - fantastic defensive skillset Stahl!Severa - Luna Kellam!Owain - Luna Frederick!Yarne - Luna Gaius!Cynthia - unused father + Vantage And maybe consider swapping Gregor/Ricken so Gerome can have Aegis/Bowbreaker, but it's a matter of preference. Kellam/Frederick could also switch. If you change your mind about final classes, also consider some of these pairings.

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If you want Sniper Noire, go with Gaius Manakete Nowi can go with Kellam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginleif Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Best skills IMO are: Armsthrift, Galeforce, Luna, Aggressor (males), Limit Breaker(given), Vantage, Dual Guard+ so when pairing, you should focus on those particular skills, but it really depends on what you want for your characters to be: either supportive or offensive.

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Armthrift is overrated Unless you are a Sorcerer, it is more or less a wasted skill slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginleif Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 ^Armsthrift isn't overrated; it makes the game more fun. Many minmaxers say so otherwise, because they'd rather spend 90% of their time searching for weapons and grinding for gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Actually it kinda is 1 Golden Gaffle run is from what I heard enough to get 72k. Thats enough to make competent Brave Forges, and you don't need too much of that because it is only neccesary in Apo In every other level? Unforged Javelin and Unforged Tomes does the job well Bottom line, the skill ends up not being that useful in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I really love the set-it-and-forget-it nature of Armsthrift. It's not the money I care about, it's the fact that I don't have to worry about inventory management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginleif Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Not useful optimization wise? Perhaps, if you want to minmax to the extreme. But people prefer it because they don't have to go through the time/pain of Golden Gaffe and forging every single brave weapon over and over and over. Even for Celica's Gale, you can get from Celica. But you have to summon her, and she always appears on random areas of the map. And next thing you know, you're tiring yourself out collecting Celica's Gale one at a time. Without armsthrift, more work is involved. You're not supposed to be feeling like you're working when you're playing a video game, so Armsthrift minimizes the work feeling. Armsthrift saves all that trouble. Minmaxing wise, no. But it's a tradeoff a lot are willing to make to actually make the game more enjoyable.

Djing Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Luna and Galeforce are the only skills that matter. The other two skills are either Aggressor or a convenience skill. Armsthrift is the most convenient of convenience skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
