radiantsage Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hello everyone! I'm currently on chapter 17 of the Blue Lions/Azure Moon route. Since I have the tendency to be a perfectionist, and wanting to complete every single support on one playthrough, I'm hurt to admit that this won't happen this time. Therefore I'm looking to finish at least the most important supports, ones that add to the story and character's backstories and the world of Fódlan more. So, which ones do you think are the most interesting? No spoilers, please! Note that I've finished all the supports amongst the original Blue Lions students. Thanks!

Sooks Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Who do you have recruited and do you mind if they are characters you aren’t actually using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes I forgot to say that! I've got everyone from the faculty, so Seteth, Hanneman, Manuela, Alois, Shamir, Catherine, Gilbert, Cyril, Flayn. From the other houses I have Caspar, Linhardt and Dorothea. (I'd have more but it dawned on me pretty late that I should recruit other students too) I also have all the DLC characters. I don't mind if it's not characters I'm using, since I tend to not use the aforementioned characters much anyways! Just wanna see the supports.

For a bit of Dimitri “backstory” (Not like character motivation backstory, but interesting things about him and his life before spoilers), his supports with Catherine and Hapi are nice, but I’d check ahead of time if those are time specific as they might be. Ingrid and Seteth have a great support for understanding Ingrid’s character. Annette and Gilbert’s support brings Annette some closure on a tragedy in her past, and their paired ending brings things back to the way they once were (which she wants (and so does Gilbert)). Ashe and Catherine’s support will give you some interesting lore iirc, but you need to have completed their paralogue before the time skip, so F if you haven’t done that. Felix and Seteth is great for characterizing Felix. Sylvain and Dorothea is similarly good for shedding light on Sylvain’s character. And those are all the ones I can think of. Oh yeah, echoing the post below me Seteth and Flayn is good. Edited March 17, 2021 by Sooks Seteth and Flayn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan--Grandmaster Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Definitely complete Seteth and Flayn's supports. You will not regret it. Do all of Gilbert's supports since he's an Azure Moon-exclusive character. Ashe and Caspar's supports with Catherine gives insight into Catherine's background and briefly the Tragedy of Duscur. Hapi and Linhardt will give you some Timethos lore. And try to get as many Byleth supports as you can.

lenticular Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 If you have ambitions to eventually see all the supports across multiple playthroughs, then you should prioritse Dimtri's, Dedue's and Gilberts, since they're Azure Moon exclusive and therefore the hardest ones to pick up. Beyond that, I agree with most of the ones already mentioned, but will also add Hanneman/Manuela and Catherine/Shamir. Both are based on relationships that already existed long before the start of the game, which I really enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burklight Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 So here's a slightly different take. If you're goal is to get all supports, I'm assuming you'll be using several NG+. As others have mentioned, getting Dimitri, Dedue and Gilbert should be on a todo list because they're AM exclusive, but if you picked MByleth, I would bump Flayn up significantly in priority for a paired ending with Byleth. Byleth gets +3/5 MT with an A/S support, and she's available on all routes not named CF. It's one of the decisions I've got the most mileage out of while playing NG+.

Already know I'm going to cry if I do Annette and Gilbert's paired ending 😢 Now I'm interested in Ashe and Carherine, wonder what that is all about. And I've heard a lot about Seteth and Flayn I'm very curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip, I never thought about this! For this run I'm thinking of pairing him with Sothis though because I didn't do it last playthrough and kind of regret it.

drattakbowser Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Your recruitment is pretty bad. Lysithea is highly recommended for Blue Lions because strong wrap and strong magic. My Azure Moon paired ending : - Byleth and Lysithea - Dimitri and Dedue - Felix and Annette - Ashe and Mercedes - Sylvain and Ingrid - Caspar and Catherine - Seteth and Flayn - Gilbert alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drattakbowser Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I suggest you to do a second Blue Lions run by recruit everyone and I can suggest you. But this recruitment is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysithea is highly recommended for Blue Lions because strong wrap and strong magic. I strongly disagree. His recruitment is fine. Lysithea is a perfectly reasonable unit, but not so good that it's a mistake not to recruit her. If he needs someone with Warp, he has both Linhardt and Manuela. Unless you're in a heavily optimised situation like a LTC or speedrun the only relevant questions are whether you have enough characters to fill out a complete roster in the endgame (he does) and whether you're using characters that you like (which I'm guessing he also does).

If that's what works for you, then I'm not going to stop you, but your experience is far from universal here. Many people can and do play it without her, and I don't think it was helpful to the original poster to imply that she is necessary or that he did anything wrong.
