    OK, that leaves Hinata (already covered), Silas, Kaze and Tsukuyomi.

    Midoriko is another one that could work. With Oboro she's functionally similar to Oboro!Eponine in terms of stat spread only with much higher skill. Breaking Sky is always nice to her to get, and Flamboyant works well with Lethality, and seals work well with certain kunais. Actually, Lance Fighter tends to synergize pretty nicely with Ninja, so this is a good choice.

    Sophie picks up a relevant faire if she ends as a Paladin/Great Knight, as well as a useful proc. Depending on who she marries, inherited Extravagance can come in handy as well, or for a lower-end Herb Merchant skill, Household Cure might be good, or just pass Breaking Sky to save a bit of time.

    Shara... I think she can pull off some mixed sets and has balanced mods with 4 speed, but her own strength growth isn't conducive to it. She also already has Breaking Sky/Flamboyant, so she would mostly just be concerned with the seals.

    Personally, I'm leaning either towards Midoriko or Hisame for Oboro.

    Alright so that'll leave it with

    FKamui x Takumi

    Ryoma x Kagerou

    Joker x Hinoka

    Saizou x Sakura

    Nishiki x Hana

    maybes:

    Subaki x Oboro

    Subaki x Azura

    Hinata x Oboro

    Asama x Setsuna

    In that case I still have... a lot of pairings... actually... sobbing.

    No problem. It's kind of what the topic is about anyway, just answering questions.

    Who do you have who's relatively free? Hinata might work as a possibility, and both of them are Takumi's retainers so it's still thematic. Strength and defense are high (3 and 4) but skill and speed are a bit underwhelming. (1 and 0. It's Hinata's mods though so whatcha gonna do) Lance Fighter is also good for him to pick up, since he's the only Hoshidan male who cannot get it through an A+ with Shinonome. Deere can't get A+ Shinonome either, but he's on both routes so dunno if it counts.

    The pairings I had planned:

    FKamui x Takumi

    Ryoma x Kagerou

    Joker x Hinoka

    Saizou x Sakura

    Subaki x Oboro (Or Azura)

    Asama x Setsuna (?)

    Nishiki x Hana

    In Invisible Kingdom Eponine is a great candidate to be mothered by Oboro. Mods are pretty balanced - she gets good bulk and 5 speed, but Eponine gets a ton from Oboro skillwise. Breaking Sky is awesome, Holy Lancer is a good ending class, and the seals are great to have too. She can inherit Extravagance for high offense or Copycat for utility. Eponine can also marry Gurei, Foleo or Deere to get a kunai class to take advantage of some of the seals, as well as her high speed. Speed Seal is particularly useful with Oboro (the S rank shuriken, not the mother) since iirc it doesn't target speed as a debuff.

    Ignis isn't a bad candidate either - his speed hole is kind of bad, but he's capable of a few things. Lancefaire would be useful if he's ending as a General, and like Eponine he can nab Ninja from A+ Gurei or Rod Knight from A+ Foleo. Ignis isn't magic oriented at all, though, so Ninja would be the better class for him to pick up. Sophie is another candidate who likes getting Lance Fighter access, and I imagine Deere would like her too.

    It's actually a bit tougher to pair her with a Hoshido husband imo, since she give a ton of benefits to all of them, so it's mostly a matter of trying to figure out who would benefit the most. Mitama might be the best bet, since she really would like a good offensive class and a good proc to work with her physical stats, and Oboro delivers on both, in addition to giving great stats. Lance Fighter distribution is actually really poor, so it's a matter of trying to find which kids would benefit the most from Oboro's skillset, since with Breaking Sky/Flamboyant/Seals/Extravagance/Copycat combined with good mods, her kid is going to get a lot of mileage out of her as a mother.

    I'm just asking this because I still don't have someone to pair Aqua with, so if I pair her with Subaki instead, that'll free up Oboro, and then I"ll use her on Mitama, but then tha'tll leave Setsuna out. Hmm...

    Like I said sorry I keep spamming this topic, I'm just trying to figure out who to get in Hoshido first before I move onto Nohr, then IK.

    Maybe Oboro x Takumi… Oboro likes him anyways…

    Takumi: +1 Str, +0 Mag, +3 Skl, -2 Spd, +1 Lck, +0 Def, -2 Res

    Oboro: +1 Str, -1 Mag, +1 Skl, +1 Spd, -1 Lck, +1 Def, -1 Res

    Child: +3 Str, +0 Mag, +5 Skl, +0 Spd, +1 Lck, +2 Def, -2 Res

    Of course, in main-game, growths likely matter more…. but that takes more time to calculate….

    With regards to Luna x Tsubaki in 3rd route… would it be a good idea to class change Matoi over to Weapons Master after her promotion at some point….

    Reasoning:

    1. Luna!Matoi (actually, all Matois) have inherent access to Swordfaire via automatic class inheritance from Tsubaki. In this pairing's case, its their only weapon-faire.

    2. However, Matoi starts with Lance ranks.

    3. Weapons Master has lance (up to B) and sword ranks available, so she can keep her lance while taking the opportunity to start training swords.

    4. Weapons master gives her Flowing Strike (may combo with Swallow Strike that she knows automatically), Vantage, and Strength Seal…. Luna and Tsubaki's strong stats include defense, so if growth inherit Luna!Matoi should have a 41.66% personal growth.

    Then, after picking up some skills like this and having had an opportunity to train her swords while having a higher lance rank available in a pinch, she could class change into Trueblade to pick up Astra/Swordfaire…. or she could class change into Hero for Sol/Axebreaker…. or even both consecutively….

    What do people think?

    Problem with that is that -I'm- marrying Takumi... ._.

    The Weapons Master is something I never thought of. When I get the game (NEXT YEAR WHY) I'll probably try that out because that actually sounds really cool (and kind of makes sense, perfectionist = good at using all weapons?)

    I'm sorry to keep bugging you all with this but... if I don't marry Oboro to Subaki, and instead marry Aqua to him, who should I put Oboro with?

    Also to answer the Subaki question, I'd probably put him into Golden-Kite Warrior, but that's also because I'd most likely have a lot of Falcon Knights and would want at least one character in the class, which I think he'd fit well.

    Thank you thank you thank you!!! You had NO idea how much time I spent poring over Google Images for these things in Awakening!

    Elise!Midoriko looks just like her mom xD and all the Ophelias are simply gorgeous.

    Edit: Lutz must have Brown hair so he can be Bucky.

    Have you considered Aqua!Matoi? She'd be avaiable from the start so you could recruit Matoi much earlier than Hinoka or Luna. Her mods are 0/+1/+4/+2/0/+1/0

    She'd almost have a guaranteed +4 Damage when fighting any strength oriented enemies because of [Prodigy] and be able to deal with mages pretty well just by virtue of being a Falcon Knight. This is a possible skillset with the Avatar marrying Matoi with Lancer as a secondary:

    [ Voice of Peace | Swallow Strike | Lancefaire | Breaking Sky | Servant's Joy ]

    Voice of Peace since its essentially +2 Def/Res for her and everyone around, could be replaced but its fun to have a unique skill. Servant's Joy just to take advantage of her staff use and allow her to heal, could be replaced with anything else. She could also A+ with Sophie for Cavalier skills.

    Ohh no... ohhhh no, I really like this idea. I may use this for the third route. Definitely writing down!

    (I planned on Oboro x Zero so...)
