[The Pairing Thread]

That's not The One Team. There is no The One Team.

That's so unsatisfying though.

[The Pairing Thread]

Robin x sibling Lucina/Cynthia

Chrom x Sumia/Maribelle

Lissa x Stahl/Ricken

Sully x Gaius/Donnel

Miriel x Ricken/Gregor

Sumia x Chrom/Henry

Maribelle x Virion/Lon'qu

Panne x Virion/Stahl

Cord x Virion/Lon'qu

Nowi x Vaike/Henry

Tharja x Vaike/Gaius

Olivia x Chrom/Libra

Cherche x Henry/Stahl

Some of those are still pretty one-sided (Sully, Cherche, Sumia, Tharja, Chrom), others have quite a few contenders for at least 2nd, and should be taken with a grain of salt (Tharja, Olivia, Cherche, Lissa, Chrom). Robin-M is assumed, otherwise it would be Chrom/Yarne (and Robin instead of Maribelle).

Hmm? Stahl!Gerome was on that list. Virion and Stahl are pretty similar dads for Yarne and Gerome.

As for the other two, Virion is superior in both cases, but Yarne benefits a bit more (5/10 Hit) than Brady (75 Spd with a DF support).

Was mostly referring to the idea that henry->stahl for gerome is somehow more of a drop off than henry->vaike for nah.

Hmm based on this list to get the most people with one of their best 2 you'd do something like:

Sumia!Lucina

Chrom!Cynthia

Lucina!Morgan

Donnel!Kjelle

Gaius!Noire

Ricken!Owain

Gregor!Laurent

Vaike!Nah

Lonqu!Severa

Virion!Brady

Henry!Gerome

Stahl!Yarne

Libra!Inigo

[The Pairing Thread]

Overall, that won't be as nice as going with Vaike!Nah, because Gerome sees a larger drop from not having Henry than she does (Henry!Nah and Vaike!Nah are pretty equal).

You'll want Libra!Brady, and Yarne and Gerome can split Virion and Stahl (doesn't matter how).

Not a fan of stahl!gerome?

any thoughts on libra!yarne/brady vs virion!yarne/brady

[The Pairing Thread]

Hmmm....

I think i like Henry!Nah actually.... how would you do the remaining three then?

brady x virion, libra

yarne x virion, libra, stahl

gerome x virion, stahl

Think I'm leaning towards stahl!gerome

virion!brady / libra!yarne vs libra!brady / virion!yarne is my sticking point

[The Pairing Thread]

You still have Vaike left if I read your pairing correctly because you're doing Henry!Nah? You should bench Fred and pair Stahl and Olivia because Stahl is the best Luna dad for the sons.Then do:

Vaike/Virion!Gerome

Virion/Libra!Yarne

Libra/Virion!Brady

Bench Fred and Kellam because of their bad speed mod and evergreen classes that every kid seems to inherit.

Ehhhhh....

I'm not a fan of vaike!gerome at all. The big sell is axefaire zerker gerome but he doesn't get anything to help his hit...

[The Pairing Thread]

Out of those four, I'd go Vaike!Nah, Virion!Brady, Stahl!Yarne and Henry!Gerome.

Hmmm....

I think i like Henry!Nah actually.... how would you do the remaining three then?

brady x virion, libra

yarne x virion, libra, stahl

gerome x virion, stahl

[The Pairing Thread]

Hmm... ok so I think:

Sumia!Lucina

Chrom!Cynthia

Lucina!Morgan

Donnel!kjelle

gaius!noire

ricken!owain

gregor!laurent

fred!inigo

lonqu!severa

kellam x bench

I have the rest down to

nah x henry, vaike

brady x henry, libra, virion

yarne x henry, libra, virion, stahl

gerome x henry, virion, stahl

[The Pairing Thread]

Robin x Sumia!Lucina/Chrom!Cynthia > Lon'qu/Virion/Vaike!Severa/Gaius!Kjelle > Sumia/Cordelia

Chrom x Sumia/Maribelle/Olivia

Lissa x Stahl/Ricken/Libra/Henry

Sully x Gaius/Donnel

Miriel x Lon'qu/Ricken/Gregor/Libra

Sumia x Chrom/Fred/Henry

Maribelle x Chrom/Virion/Lon'qu/Ricken/Gregor/Libra/Henry

Cordelia x Virion/Vaike/Stahl/Lon'qu/Ricken

Nowi x Vaike/Stahl/Gregor/Henry

Tharja x Vaike/Ricken/Gaius/Donnel

Olivia x Chrom/Fred/Stahl/Ricken/Libra/Henry

Cherche x Virion/Vaike/Stahl/Ricken/Gregor/Henry

The husbands are listed in order obtained, not usefulness, by the way.

thank you! what about yarne?

[The Pairing Thread]

Nothing becomes needed (and by extension, truly "better" in execution performance) until you do ridiculous limitations on Apo like no dlc/no rally.

edit: so no, not really. Some kids just get to have more tools to play with depending on different parents.

Do you have a list of what would be considered like the best 2 parents for each one?

[The Pairing Thread]

Is there an absolute "best" pairing set?

[The Pairing Thread]

I have a few last questions about my last few pairs:

Severa, Nah, Brady, Yarne

Fathers: Virion, Vaike, Lonqu, Libra, Henry, Kellam

[The Pairing Thread]

http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=42247&page=187#entry3589895

A list of cookie cutter general purpose pairings. If you have any questions on why who goes where, just ask.

So looking around and reading a bit I think I like:

Sumia!Lucina

Lucina!Morgan

Chrom!Cynthia

Donnel!Kjelle

Gregor!Laurent

Lonqu!Severa

Fred!Inigo

Gaius!Noire

Virion!Yarne

Stahl!Gerome

Ricken!Owain

Leaving Nah and Brady who I'm less decided about, and leaving kellam, libra, henry, and vaike leftover as dads.

So I guess I'd do either: Henry!Nah Libra!Brady or Vaike!Nah Henry!Brady

I'd change something from the top set if there was a good reason to though.

[The Pairing Thread]

How do you guys feel about this gamefaqs sentiment:

"You are better off not running a proc than using a non-Vengeance damage booster."

[The Pairing Thread]

So I'm looking to optimize for apotheosis/postgame and don't mind grinding, based on what I've read I think I like:

Gaius!Noire

Donnel!Kjelle

Sumia!Lucina

Chrom!Cynthia

Lucina!Morgan

But I'm undecided about the other 8 kids. Any help?
