Skill Inheritance Combos

[BANRYU]

So I been meaning to make this topic for a while now... And then forgot what the topic I'd been meaning to make was. And then remembered again. Uh... yeah. Good talk.

SO ANYWAY, SKILL INHERITANCE.

Lotta people like to combo-inherit skills as a means of being more efficient with things like Assists and Specials, so I thought I'd make a threat where we can share protips on inheriting useful skill combos with fewer units. Here's what I've come up with so far:

General combos

Spoiler

Draconic Aura + Hone Atk - Good for making efficient use of your DA corrins and finding A use for Serra if you've got extras.

• 4* Serra: Hone Atk 2
• 4* f!Corrin: Hone Atk 3 + Draconic Aura

Draconic Aura + Hone Atk + Draw Back - similar/better version of the above; particularly good for fragile blade mages who want to stay away from the frontlines

• 4* Nino: Draw Back + Hone Atk 2
• 4* f!Corrin: Draconic Aura + Hone Atk 3

Death Blow + Brave Bow+ - everything your Brave Bow archer needs to get started!

• 4* Hawkeye / Effie / Ursula: Death Blow 2
• 5* Klein: Death Blow 3 + Brave Bow+

Fortify Def 3 + Luna + Pivot - Luna and Fort Def 3 are both pretty universally useful, and Pivot makes a decent filler assist for mobility if someone lacks it. Good for Armor Emblem too?

• 4* Cherche: Pivot + Hone Def 2
• 4* Frederick: Luna + Hone Def 3

Spur Def 3 + Bonfire + Draw Back - making efficient use of your Robins' skills

• 3* Sully: Draw Back + Spur Def 2  //OR// 3* Draug / 4* Priscilla: Spur Def 2 (skips Draw Back if you don't need it)
• 4* m!Robin: Bonfire + Spur Def 3

Desperation 3 + Iceberg + Draw Back - great fare for speedy Blade mages, or even high-res Archers like Innes and Niles.

• 4* Mae: Draw Back + Desperation 2
• 4* Shanna: Iceberg + Desperation 3

Galeforce + Brave Lance+ - potentially useful for lots of units, from other Lance fliers to folks like Summer Robin or other speedy lancers

• 4* Virion: Night Sky + Astra
• 5* Cordelia: Galeforce + Brave Lance+

Darting Blow 3 + Ardent Sacrifice + Raudrblade+ - TBH Tharja herself probably likes this setup best, but if you want the setup on the likes of Katarina, Celica, or Arvis to have the typical Desp setup then this could well work for them too!

• 4* Florina/4* Rebecca: Darting Blow 2 + Ardent Sacrifice
• 5* Tharja: Darting Blow 3 + Raudrblade+

Breath of Life 3 + Glacies + Ardent Sacrifice - kind of a worse version of the above unless you prefer ArdSac over Draw Back on your glassy Desp mages.

• 4* Florina: Ardent Sacrifice + Breath of Life 2
• 4* Felicia: Breath of Life 3 + Glacies

Spur Atk 3 + Reposition + Brave Sword+ - Good kit for Brave build inheritance.

• 3* Barst: Reposition + Spur Atk 2
• 5* Ogma: Spur Atk 3 + Brave Sword+

Rally Def/Res + Firesweep Lance+ - gettin some good stuff from Roderick if you don't need/want mobility skills

• 3* Oboro: Rally Def + whatever
• 5* Roderick: Rally Def/Res + Firesweep Lance+

Drive Def 2 + Firesweep Lance+ - getting the most out of Roderick's unique skills.

• 4* Arden: Drive Def 1
• 5* Roderick: Drive Def 2 + Firesweep Lance+

 

Horse Emblem

Spoiler

Hone Cavalry + Harsh Command + Drag Back - Gets Draw Back for your Brave weapon cavs while also giving Hone Cav and an Assist skill.

• 3* Gwendolyn: Drag Back + Hone Atk 2
• 4* Gunter: Harsh Command + Hone Cavalry

Hone Cavalry + Harsh Command + Draw Back - Good if you fear debuffs and want options for your Cav’s assist. Inb4 HC sucks yes I know

• 3* Nino: Draw Back + Hone Atk 1
• 4* Gunter: Harsh Command + Hone Atk 2 + Hone Cavalry

Hone Cavalry + Draw Back + Luna + Armored Blow 3 - more fleshed-out version of the above, swapping Harsh Command for Luna + Armored Blow

• 4* Nino: Draw Back + Hone Atk 2
• 4* Gunter: Armored Blow 2 + Hone Cavalry
• 4* Catria: Luna + Armored Blow 3

 

Flier Emblem

Spoiler

Goad Fliers + Reposition + Moonbow - Full of generally useful stuff for your Flier Emblem pals!

• 3* Barst: Reposition + Spur Atk 2
• 4* Palla: Moonbow + Goad Fliers

Goad Fliers + Hit and Run + Moonbow - Hit and Run + Goad Fliers is useful for those Brave fliers like Elincia, Cordelia, Cherche, etc. while Moonbow is a nice added bonus for QP etc.

• 4* Clair: Hit and Run + Spur Spd 2
• 4* Palla: Moonbow + Goad Fliers

 

Armor Emblem

Spoiler

Goad Armor + Distant Counter + Reposition - Using your Hectors efficiently!

• 3* Barst: Reposition + Spur Atk 2
• Hector: Distant Counter + Goad Armor

Fortify Armor + Pivot + Svalinn Shield / Killer Axe+ - a buff and a mobility skill that are both useful to armors, packaged along with passable filler. 

• 3* Cherche: Pivot + Fortify Def 2
• 4* Sheena: Fortify Armor + Svalinn Shield //OR// 5* Sheena: Fortify Armor + Killer Axe+

Hone Armor + Drag Back + Pivot - buff and mobility for armors along with a decent filler.

• 4* Eirika: Hone Speed 2 + Pivot
• 4* Gwendolyn: Hone Armor + Drag Back

 

Dragon Emblem / Misc

Spoiler

Lightning Breath+ & Threaten Resistance 3 & Rally Defense - good general skills for any dargon unit plus a bonus rally!

• 4* Oboro: Threaten Resistance 2 + Rally Defense
• 5* Nowi: Lightning Breath+ + Threaten Resistance 3

 

 

If anyone's got more, I'm happy to add them to the OP so this can be used as like a resource or something

Harsh command over Reposition on cavs

Hilarious

 

@BANRYU

Here is a relatively easy one for armors to get rid of any Draugs or Stahls you have

Swap + Ward Amors

Ever fight full DC armor emblem with FULL swap and FULL Ward armors? 

+12 Def/Res, not to mention wary fighter for even more kekz

Edited October 26, 2017 by Arcanite

[Ice Dragon]

4-star Roderick + 5-star Roderick for Rally Def/Res, Drag Back, and Drive Def 2. Roderick is a god for Arena scoring.

3-star Oboro + 3-star Sully + 5-star Roderick for Rally Def/Res, Draw Back, and Drive Def 2. If you don't have a 4-star Roderick to spare, but still want Rally Def/Res and Drive Def 2 for scoring.

3-star Sully + 4-star Roderick + 5-star Roderick  for Firesweep Lance+, Rally Def/Res, Draw Back, and Drive Def 2. In case you want Firesweep Lance+ off of him, too.

 

This is armor standard for not wasting your Hector's exclusive skills:

3-star Barst + 5-star Hector for Reposition, Distant Counter, and Goad Armor. Reposition is filler, but you might as well grab it.

[MrSmokestack]

I think this topic would do better in the Skill Inheritance thread, but that’s just me.

This is missing a fair few skills, so I’ll shoot:

Spoiler

1. Distant Counter + Vantage / Quick Riposte (DC + Vantage + QR is Hector only)

Comments: None

2. Wrath + Wo Dao + Moonbow

Comments: +20 damage ggez

3. Triangle Adept + QR / Weaponbreaker

Comments: None

4. DB / LaD / SS + Brave + Desperation

Comments: None

5. Desperation + Brash Assault seal (Sol Katti + Wrath + Brash Assault seal is Lyn only)

Comments:

>Hector: Lyn why you stack so many skills

>Lyn: my b

6. Killer / Slaying + QR + Steady Breath + high CD skill

Comments: None

7. Firesweep + Cancel Affinity

 Comments: No counter, no damage mititgation

Wait. You mean inheriting skills?

Try this:

Spoiler

1. Spur Atk + Reposition + Brave Sword+

Ogma: Brave Sword, Brave Sword+, Spur Atk 1

Barst: Spur Atk 2, Spur Atk 3, Reposition

Alternatively you can do Brave Axe+ inheritance, but only if both are 5*.

2. Draw Back, Hone Atk, Draconic Aura. This is a bit similar to yours admittedly.

Nino: Hone Atk 1, Hone Atk 2, Draw Back

Corrin (Female): Dragon Gaze, Draconic Aura, Hone Atk 3

3. Pivot, Hone Armor / Fortify Armor

There are two ways to go about this, depending on what C you want to inherit.

Eirika: Pivot, Hone Spd 1, Hone Spd 2

Gwendolyn: Killer Lance, Killer Lance+, Hone Armor OR Drag Back, Hone Armor

Cherche: Pivot, Fortify Def 1, Fortify Def 2

Sheena: Killer Axe, Killer Axe+, Fortify Armor

There is also Marth and Hector for Spur Spd 1/2, Pivot, Goad Armor, and Distant Counter

 

[Zapp Branniglenn]

Ooh, I've got a HOT combo. "I'm an aspiring archer that wants to use a Brave Bow, what do?"

• 4* Hawkeye for Death Blow 1 and 2
• 5* Klein for Death Blow 3, Brave Bow, Brave Bow+

[BANRYU]

Ah. Hmm okay. I see how you guys got confused, but I wasn't sure how to clarify the thread title more specifically, sorry @3@ Yes, this is specifically for combo inheritance, IE for getting multiple useful skills off of a single unit (IE Corrin or Palla) rather than needing to inherit from the same character multiple times. IE, getting Goad Fliers and Moonbow off of Palla simultaneously after inheriting Spur Atk 2 off of Barst. This is mostly useful for F2P folks or other players who want to make efficient use of every inheritance, plan things out, etc. etc.

Yes!

So it seems we're clear now. Some of these look pretty good as well.

Of the several Roderick suggestions, this one seems like the best since we're getting all of the good stuff off of Roddy boy. The multi-Rod ones are fine too, but also kind of defeat the purpose of being efficient about the inheritance since they use the same character multiple times.... seems like more of a thing useful for whales than anyone else, and the point is more about how to get the most out of a single character by inheriting stuff from other folks.

And yeah, I get that Rod has a LOT of useful skills. Like, a lot. So... I guess what we'd be looking for is more along the lines of a single skill of his to focus on along with grabbing an extra useful one alongside it, IE Oboro + Rod for Firesweep+ and Rally DR, Arden + Rod for Firesweep+ and Drive Def, etc.

Like honestly most folks that aren't focused rallybots (IE Erika + Ephraim and possibly a few others) are really gonna want his Rally when the other stuff is on the table, I think. But this is a good start.

This on the other hand is a really good one. And pretty obvious like why didn't I think of that derp

There is also Marth and Hector for Spur Spd 1/2, Pivot, Goad Armor, and Distant Counter

These are all pretty solid! And yeah no worries about the Corrin thing, it's the same general idea but with different pre-up fodder and there's nothing wrong with that at all.

Regarding the Armor ones, I'm leaning toward the Drag Back + Hone for Hone Armor since Killer is kinda less worth the investment nowadays, given that Slaying weapons exist now... For Sheena there's not much else of worth that she can give so no helping that I suppose, haha ;; Getting Pivot alongside an armor buff certainly isn't bad though.

I'll add all of these to the OP when I get a chance. 

Also thought of this: 4* Jagen/Bartre (Fury 2) + 5* Hinata (Ruby Sword+, Fury 3) for all your Olivia fleshing-out needs

Great stuff, this has all been added as well! man I could have used some of these why didn't I think of this

Edited October 26, 2017 by BANRYU

[MilodicMellodi]

Here's a couple skill combos I have:

Steady Breath + Sol, or Killer/Slaying weapon + Steady Breath + Aether. A 4-cooldown special that charges in two attacks and regenerates tons of HP. Works best against Brave weapons. I have this combo for my Lance!Lucina and the only physical threat she faces is axe users. Her Def, even without using Geirskogul, is high enough with Steady Breath that she doesn't need to worry about taking too much damage.

Blazing AoE + Hardy Bearing seal. I personally added a Blade tome and Heavy Blade to the mix for a powerful 3-attack full charge, but to each their own. One of the glaring weaknesses of the AoE nukes, aside from their long cooldown, is that they leave the user weak to Vantage. I've commented on Gamepress about using Hardy Bearing to nullify this weakness. You're not even giving up much by not being able to use Desperation, since you're getting in two uninterrupted attacks anyhow. (So with Hardy Bearing, the AoE nukes essentially act like a guaranteed Desperation at the cost of having a long cooldown. Using the Blazing version is actually a more powerful Desperation.)

One could even possibly mix the elements of these two builds together and make the following:
Killer/Slaying weapon + Blazing AoE + Steady Breath + Hardy Bearing seal. A 4-cooldown AoE nuke that very quickly charges per enemy phase and technically grants Desperation to the unit for one attack during your phase (unless they could somehow fully charge and use it again that turn for two nukes?). The added Defense from Steady Breath even makes going against physical foes more likely to survive.

@tobuShogi hot stuff, I'm into it. Bowchickabowow

And hey I've got a spare 5* Nowi, I might actually be able to do that one o3o

[Punished Dayni]

I'll add some alternates for ones that are already there, especially to work with 3* units too (No + weapons listed in here):

Spoiler

For Draconic Aura + Hone Attack, you can also have:

4* F!Corrin: Hone Atk 3, Draconic Aura

3* Wendy/Olivia: Drag Back/Knock Back, Hone Atk 2

(For the record, this can also similarly work for Hone Cav with Gunter instead of F!Corrin, but obviously no Draconic Aura)

 

You want your cavs with a bunch of skills? Well here we go! (If using M!Robin, Sully or Draug at 3* allow you to cover for the lack of Spur Def on Eliwood)

4* M!Robin: Bonfire, Spur Def 1 / 4* Niles: Iceberg, Spur Res 1

4* Eliwood: Ward Cav, Axebreaker 1

4* Laslow: Axebreaker 3, Hone Speed 1

4* Gunter: Hone Cav, Harsh Command

 

A nice Healer Combo for units without Reconcile:

3* Clarine: Reconcile, Swift Winds Balm, Res +1 I guess?

She can also pass Martyr (If you take her at 4*). Azama can pull the same off, but if you use a 4* version go for Reconclie and Threaten Atk 2 instead.

4* Wrys/Lissa: Rehabilitate, Live to Serve/Renewal 2 

 

Ardent Sacrifice, Darting Blow and Special (Surprisingly, this one is pretty flexible, and many units can use it imo)

4* Camilla/Valter/Tharja: Darting Blow 1, Special (Draconic Aura/Luna/Vengeance)

4* Florina/Rebecca: Darting Blow 3, Ardent Sacrifice

 

Fury 3 + Brash Assault 3 + Pavise (Not necessarily amazing no, just want to use some less viable units to maximise Hinata's skill passing. Or possibly for those with too many Bartres)

4* Hinata: Fury 3, Pavise, Ruby Sword (If you want the Ruby Sword as well, you'll need someone with Buckler. I recommend Wendy for Hone attack 2 at least)

4* Bartre: Brash Assault 3, Fury 2

3* Bartre/4* Seliph: Brash Assault 2, Smite/Rally Speed (For those combined rallies)

 

Bit of an odd one for ranged units:

5* Takumi: Close Counter, Threaten Speed 2

4* Navarre: Threaten Speed 3, Desperation 2

4* Shanna: Desperation 3, Iceberg

I don't think too many people use Knock Back at all so I might just list Drag, but that's a good one as well!

Dang that's a chain all right. Not bad.

4* Wrys/Lissa: Rehabilitate, Live to Serve/Renewal 2 

Mmm it's always kinda hard to find good stuff to do with healers... But this is something, at least! Finding a way to get Slow/Heavenly Light of of Wrys might also be a good idea since those are pretty useful from him as well.

Ardent Sacrifice, Darting Blow and Special (Surprisingly, this one is pretty flexible, and many units can use it imo)

4* Camilla/Valter/Tharja: Darting Blow 1, Special (Draconic Aura/Luna/Vengeance)

4* Florina/Rebecca: Darting Blow 3, Ardent Sacrifice

Not bad not bad. I'm less sure about Valter since he's kinda more valuable for inheriting Panic Ploy, but certainly the others will work. 

Fury 3 + Brash Assault 3 + Pavise (Not necessarily amazing no, just want to use some less viable units to maximise Hinata's skill passing. Or possibly for those with too many Bartres)

4* Hinata: Fury 3, Pavise, Ruby Sword (If you want the Ruby Sword as well, you'll need someone with Buckler. I recommend Wendy for Hone attack 2 at least)

4* Bartre: Brash Assault 3, Fury 2

3* Bartre/4* Seliph: Brash Assault 2, Smite/Rally Speed (For those combined rallies)

Being not widely used doesn't mean it can't be useful! I'm fine with it.

Bit of an odd one for ranged units:

5* Takumi: Close Counter, Threaten Speed 2

4* Navarre: Threaten Speed 3, Desperation 2

4* Shanna: Desperation 3, Iceberg

This is the only one that I feel like might be OVERLY specific. Off the top of my head, Matthew seems like the only one both fast and durable enough to make use of both Desperation and Close Counter, though since Close Counter is more EP reliant and Desp is more PP reliant, they don't synergize SUPER well.

Although, now that the BA seal exists I suppose there might be some call for using both on units like Gordin or Leon or what have you. So... sure I'll put it up why not.

Comments in green. Good stuff.

I'm getting to bed right now but I'll probably add these and any new ones to the OP in the morning.

Cheap Dancer Skill Combos

- 3 star Frederick (New Moon, Wings of Mercy 1, Fortify Def 1)

- 4 star Palla (Moonbow, Wings of Mercy 2, Ruby Sword if Olivia)

- 4 star Cain (Wings of Mercy 3, Buckler, Escutcheon)

 

Related, but a bit more expensive - Fully decked out Olivia combo

- 4 star Frederick (New Moon, Wings of Mercy 1 and 2)

- 4 star Cain (Wings of Mercy 3, Buckler, Escutcheon)

- 5 star Palla (Ruby Sword, Ruby Sword+, Moonbow) OR 5 star Athena (Wo Dao, Wo Dao+, Moonbow)

 

Actually because I don't have the luck to pull Cains, I only use the Frederick + Palla combo. Escutcheon isn't really that used but you're not really going to use Threaten Atk on a dancer either and it might be useful for PvE.

Spoiler

Ok I have an idea that might be cool? Maybe? I'm not sure if they stack with each other but I think they do.

Ayra with Ayra's Blade and Steady Breath. During both player and enemy phase, she gets 2 stacks per attack (except when she's counterattacked during player phase, if it works exactly like Heavy Blade I mean). A Def boon grants her 38 Def when she's attacked, making her a pretty nice wall; even with neutral Def she still reaches 35 which is no laughing matter.

This makes me wonder...if you put Steady Blade on her, would it actually be more worth it to put Ignis on her as opposed to her natural Regnal Astra? Let's see...

Spoiler

Neutral Spd (40 with Ayra's Blade) with Regnal Astra = 16 damage granted. 2 activations (Ignis is 4, Regnal Astra is 2) would grant 32 damage.
Spd Boon (43 with Ayra's Blade) with Regnal Astra = 17.2, or 17, damage granted. 2 activations would grant 34 damage.
Neutral Def (35 with Steady Breath on enemy phase) with Ignis = 28 damage granted.
Def Boon (38 with Steady Breath on enemy phase) with Ignis = 30.4, or 30, damage granted.

Doing the math (as shown in the spoiler), it looks like you get slightly more overall damage with Regnal Astra even when compared to a Def boon Steady Breath, but the difference is so slight that the combination of her fast Spd with the insanely fast cooldown would make Ignis safer to use (not just because of her higher Def but also because of Brave weapon users). Not to mention that Ignis scales far better than Regnal Astra when considering Spur/Hone buffs. Even when adding a Spd+ or Def+ seal, the change is still so small that Ignis is better.

So...I guess Ayra's Blade + Ignis + Steady Breath + Desperation = a lot of damage, all the time.

That in there was Ayra's Blade + Steady Breath, but I guess it evolved to add Ignis and Desperation to it. The next few here will be based on skills from the upcoming Halloween banner.

Spoiler

Felicia with Kitty Paddle+, Glacies/Iceberg, Warding Stance/Warding Blow, Cancel Affinity 3/Wrath 3, and Atk Smoke 3. Felicia now has the potential to become a true mage-killer, as the inherited Kitty Paddle+ lets her do effective damage to all tome users. With Warding Stance/Blow, she can maximize her special's damage during either phase respectively. With CA3 she can truly turn Raven tomes against their users, but with Wrath 3 she can become a threat to some non-mages as well. Finally, Atk Smoke 3 would let Felicia take less damage so she doesn't have to worry as much about retaliation.

Bow!Jakob (or perhaps Armor!Jacob?) with Monstrous Bow+, Close Combat, Wary Fighter, and Ward Armor. CC so he can retaliate back against his foes, Wary Fighter so he can maximize the effect of Monstrous Bow+ (so that the enemy team will not really be able to buff correctly as long as they deal with him), and Ward Armor since he'll likely be in the middle of the action and won't be close to his allies.

Arvis with Valflame, Glacies, Atk/Res Bond 3, Recover Ring, and Res Ploy 3. I don't really think I need to say more here.

Celica with Ragnarok and Atk/Res Bond 3. Atk+10 and Spd/Res+5 by her own power if she's at full health. This combo essentially makes Ragnarok into a full-health-but-any-attack Dark Excalibur, and she has +5 Spd/Res to spare. Speaking of Sonya...

Sonya with Dark Excalibur, Iceberg, and Atk/Res Bond. Pretty much the equivalent of +15 damage during the special, that of which having an extra 5 Res to beef it up (making her reach 40 with a Res boon). Anything she does WILL hurt.

Here's a bit of a doozy- Drive Speed, Moonbow and Blarblade+ on a blue mage.

You'll need a 4* Odin and a 5* Tailtiu (if Drive Speed gets demoted, either one can be 5*). You also need anyone with Spur Speed 1, which can be Marth, Palla, Saizo, Jeorge or Clair- I don't think any of them have the skills a Blade mage wants (Palla's Wings of Mercy 2, maybe).

Spur Speed 1 -> Blarblade+Moonbow/Drive Speed 2 -> 5* Blarblade+Drive Speed 2/Moonbow.

For a full Cordelia copy (bar Pass) plus Reposition and Drag back (very useful for Brave users): 

• 4* Virion for Night Sky & Astra
• 4* Selena for TA2 & Reposition
• 3* Donnell for Brave Lance and Drag back
• 5* Cordelia for TA3, Brave Lance+, Galeforce

If the Lance is not needed: 

• 3* Virion for Night Sky & Seal SPD 2
• 4* Selena for TA2 & Reposition
• 5* Cordelia for TA3, Astra & Galeforce

I like this. I forgot that Cordelia comes with TA.

If the Archer wants also QR plus positioning skill:

• 4* Hawkeye for DB2
• 4* Subaki for QR2 and Swap
• 3* Gordin for Brave Bow and Shove
• 5* Klein for DB3, Brave Bow+, QR 3

I guess I did that to my Jeorge just to not waste that rare 5* skill.

 

Leon would appreciate this line of skill inheritance. If only I can pull a Klein or Leon.

Klein is an awkward position where I'm not sure I want a +Speed one so I can build him with L & D or a -Speed one just since he already has the Brave Bow. I suppose his Res isn't that great to begin with so that's another option. 

[BANRYU]

Not a particularly good one, but I used this on my Arden to fill his skill slots out since I need to save the skill fodder for stuff that would ACTUALLY be good on him lol (I don't care about him that much). mainly it gets him Pivot and an A-slot, plus an offensive proc (albeit not a great one). 

4* Lilina: Growing Flame, Atk+1

4* Cherche: Atk+3, Pivot

 

@MilodicMellodi I think you may have misunderstood the point of the thread, friendo... the point isn't skill combos, it's INHERITANCE combos-- specifically, how to inherit skills to get the most out of your SI fodder, instead of having to inherit multiple skills from the same unit capiche?

Cheap Dancer Skill Combos

- 3 star Frederick (New Moon, Wings of Mercy 1, Fortify Def 1)

- 4 star Palla (Moonbow, Wings of Mercy 2, Ruby Sword if Olivia)

- 4 star Cain (Wings of Mercy 3, Buckler, Escutcheon)

 

Related, but a bit more expensive - Fully decked out Olivia combo

- 4 star Frederick (New Moon, Wings of Mercy 1 and 2)

- 4 star Cain (Wings of Mercy 3, Buckler, Escutcheon)

- 5 star Palla (Ruby Sword, Ruby Sword+, Moonbow) OR 5 star Athena (Wo Dao, Wo Dao+, Moonbow)

 

Actually because I don't have the luck to pull Cains, I only use the Frederick + Palla combo. Escutcheon isn't really that used but you're not really going to use Threaten Atk on a dancer either and it might be useful for PvE.

Good stuff for dancers. yes good.

TBH I think I'd prefer to see the version of Cordelia that lacks the TAdept, since I don't think most people running a fully built Brave-user are gonna want to be caught dead without Death Blow. Just Virion + Cordelia could work in that regard I suppose. hmm. DERP we already knew all of this disregard haha sorry ;;;

....okay I think there might have been a bit of confusion about the wording here, but I think I get the picture. Nice one. 

Also worth mentioning is Palla as part of this chain, who also has Spur Speed and Moonbow. Palla is just... so great for SI. What a gal.

Pity Odin's Red Tomebreaker is exclusive, and Defiant Attack is meh.

Useful or not for certain battles, you need two Odins if you want Red Tomebreaker 3 and Blarblade regardless. Perhaps stick to Red Tomebreaker 2?

[eclipse]

Did someone say Defiant Atk?  I'm pretty sure someone did~!

Defiant Atk + Bonfire (and maybe throw in Rally Speed if so inclined):

4* Gaius - Rally Speed + Defiant Atk 2
4* Adult Tiki - Bonfire + Defiant Atk 3

But if you have a dragon:

4* Gaius - Rally Speed + Defiant Atk 2
5* Adult Tiki - Defiant Atk 3 + Lightning Breath+

Throw in Escape Route (4* Cecilia), your favorite proc (Vengeance is pretty funny with this build), and something stupid like Atk Smoke, and that should do it~!  I might use Corrin for this build, since she's relatively fast and durable.

[mcsilas]

Also @BANRYU maybe you should rename the thread to 'Inheriting Skills Combos' or 'Combos when Inheriting Skills' instead for less confusion?

Also this one is a bit minor while i was thinking of Fodder for Arden but could work for other Armours

3* Stahl- Swap, Def+1, Def+2

4* Jakob- Def +3, Renewal+1, Renewal 2

4* Fae- Renewal 3, Threaten Atk 1, Threaten Atk 2 (or Draw Back if using Hawkeye for all 3 levels of Threaten Atk)

4* Hawkeye- Threaten Atk 3, Death Blow 1 and 2 if using Fae for lower levels of Threaten Atk.

or

3* Gordin- Atk +1 and +2

4* Cherche- Pivot, Fortify Def 1 and 2

4* Frederick- Fortify Def 3, New Moon, Luna or Wings of Mercy 1 and 2

if using Wings of Mercy, 4* Cain- Wings of Mercy 3, Threaten Atk 1 and 2/Buckler and Escutcheon if keeping Fortify Def

or

4* Cherche- Pivot, Fortify Def 1, Fortify Def 2

4* Frederick- Fortify Def 2 and 3, Wings of Mercy 1

4* Cain- Wings of Mercy 2 and 3, Threaten Atk 1

if you don't want to waste Threaten Atk you  can go further with

4* Hawkeye- Threaten Atk 3, Death Blow 1 and 2

4* Klein- Death Blow 3, Quick Riposte 1 and 2 or Chilling Wind/Glacies

TA good enough to keep for situational use (ie GHB) and you want Reposition on most units anyway. 

[Fei Mao]

Some ideas:

Brave Lance+, Draw Back, Swordbreaker 3

• 4* Sully SB2 and Draw Back
• 5* Abel Brave Lance+ SB 3

If you really need someone to kill reds.

Green Raven+, Rally RES, Triangle Adept 2, and Reposition.

• 4* Selena TA2 and Reposition
• 5* Cecilia Green Raven+ and Rally RES

If you don't have a Roy for TA3, and want to make a green raven user.

Axebreaker 3, Noontime, and Holy Vestment/Ward Cav (if the inheritor already has Spur RES 2)

• 4* Eliwood Axebreaker 2 and Vestment/Ward Cav
• 4* Laslow  Axebreaker 3 and Noontime

Might be decent for PVE content

Rogue Dagger+, Harsh Command, and Poison Strike 3

• 3* Saizo Poison Strike 2 and Harsh Command
• 5* Matthew Rogue Dagger + and Poison Strike 3

Not too useful since daggers and harsh command aren't great.

Kitty Paddle+, Guard 3, and Reciprocal Aid

• 4* Titania Guard 2 and Aid
• 5* Halloween Sakura Kitty Paddle + and Guard 3

If you count limited unit for this thread, this is a start for those that want to build an anti-mage Felicia. Unless Sakura has better stats than her
