I don't know, guys... Maybe it's because how Vincent translated Wood's flowery speech, but for all the uproar gotten from the news those two could reach that rank, I found LucinaXWood's S-rank to be pretty tame on its own (not accounting endings I don't know of) compared to other S-supports...
Of course, the support might look even tamer compared to the Idea of a S-rank between an Emelina-mothered Mark and Wood: but any player responsible of the latter would have the complete fault of reaching those extremes...

High stats with bonuses you say?
Let's take Mark and make him a Demon Fighter to learn Res+10, then pair him with Nono and pass down Res+10 to Mark. Mark can then equip a True Dragonstone with that skill for a bonus of +19, then go into Double with an ally Falcon Knight with an A support for another +9, totaling +28. Then toss on Resistance Cry and Rainbow Cry - they don't stack with themselves, but they will with each other - to bring it to +36, and toss on Tiki's Tears for good measure for another +2 to everything.
Now if MU specializes in Res, Mark should get a +7 modifier. So add that all to the Manakete's base Res cap of 40 and we get a final stat of 47+38, or 85. Damn. Even more if Res+2 and/or All+2 stack with Res+10. And a third-gen Mark could get another +2 to her Res modifier, depending on who Nono pairs with. So depending on the mechanics, her Res could very well break 90.
Make it 87 Res: You can take a longer route pairing MU with a Libera-fathered n_n (who comes with a +4 Modifier of her own) for a +9 modifier.

Could someone tell me if those pairings are compatible?
Thanks
[spoiler=on Pairings]Like Lexington said, Velvet and Basillio can't support, much less marry.
But Taguel genes are so dominant Chambray's always gonna end up as a black-haired bunnyman regardless of who the father is, so is more a question of which class branches he inherits access to along with Velvet's (Tag/Thief/Draco): Out of your Bachelor list, it would be either Knight/Priest (Callum), Fighter/Myrm (Gaia), Barbarian/Dark Mage (Henry) or Villager/Fighter/Merc (Donny).

"You seem to be from Peresia. Why are you joining us?"
"Because I love war. And if I join you, it looks like I'll get to fight a lot. Of course, if you can't trust me, just go ahead and kill me~!"
ñ_o And that kinda explains why he can make the Ruin tome's Mad Critic even madder with access to Gamble and Wrath...

I thought sorcerer only using magic wouldn't be enough...I stand corrected.
Sariya getting archer as an option makes so much more sense now. the sniper's +20% accuracy is kind of needed >.<
Well, with that Hit+20, the Curses skills and the Bow/Magic Slayer.... I think Sariya has the means to patch the Dark Tomes' low Hit issue.
-
No Bolting, Meteor, or Blizzard? =(
It seems like the Dark Mages/Sorcerers now have a monopoly on Siege Magic...
Also add the fact the "commercial" Dark B-rank Tome is also a Brave Tome, and the School is shaping up to be a bigger powerhouse than expected.
-
So do you need Beast Stones to transform, or do Taguels work like Laguz?
No Stone = No Transform.
Thanks goodness Taguels can reclass.
-
Also, Dat Hit in Innes' Surebow: only someone with negative Skill would miss with that thing...

Well, this sounds quite good in that case, although I don't think middle ground is an accurate description. It's actually an even faster, better version of Hot Start: for the first 7 turns, Lucky 7 is giving a larger bonus, while Hot Start gives a smaller bonus continuing past that point. However, if we give each turn equal weight, Lucky 7 is at a clear advantage, giving a total bonus of +140 as opposed to Hot Start's +120. And I'd imagine that any unequal weight would be in favor of the earlier turns, where Lucky 7 shines even more.
Good point. You even gave an interesting thought:
Nono can become slightly monstrous if one's willing to waste a lot of Seals and Exp. on her:
She can learn both Starts and they don't seem to be mutually-exclusive, so she can start with a fixed +16 bonus for 15 turns. Then there's her initial class skill giving an extra +10 bonus on odd numbered turns. AND then there's two Slayers skill available for her, so for at least (Because I'm actually not sure S.Start keeps on with a +15 bonus after) the first 15 turns she'd be the scourge of sword/lance users with a +76/+66 bonus...
-
I think Vincent has a mistranslation up on the site. From what I read it looked like Lucky 7 was +20 Hit/Avoid UNTIL level 7, not only on level 7. To be fair, that's rather lackluster for a Tier 2 Level 5 skill, considering most of those Hit/Avoid boosters are Tier 1 skills.
I just checked the Walkthrough Wiki, and you're half-right: There's an UNTIL, but about it's about turns, not levels. The skill gives a +20 boost to both Hit and Avoid for the first 7 turns, making the stable middleground counterpart to both the Dragon Master's Hot Start (which gets its effect decreasing until disappearing at Turn 15) and the Dark Knight's Slow Start (Which needs 15 turns for its effect tbe able to progressively reach full power).
-
I compared the Serenes' Skill page with the Walkthrough Wiki's one and there's a small switcheroo with the General's skills in the former: The Def. Cry is learned at Lv. 5 (Like the other Cries) while the G. Shield is learned at Lv. 15 (Like Holy Shield).
Also, there's the Taguel's Lv.15 skill:
獣特攻
タグエルの時、獣馬系に有効な攻撃を行う
Beast Effective: Deals effective damage to beast and horseback units when fighting as a Taguel.
-
from what's listed, yes
but it may just be faulty translation or listing on the part of the Wiki
there are still things off; like Selena being listed as Myrmidon, when she's a Mercenary.
Unfortunately, there are pictures that confirm that yes, a Male!MU's is a girl named Mark...
As for Selena being a Myrm or a Merc, I have the dreaded feeling no one has actually S-ranked Tiamo yet to confirm which one she starts (Myrm feels weird, though)...

The Walkthrough Wiki's Skill list got an update. The typo in Bow Knight's Bow Slayer skill was rectified and there's three new Lv. 5 skillls. Gryphons are a Ferry Class.
[spoiler=Lv. 5]
Sniper
命中＋20
ユニットの命中＋20
Hit+20: Self-explanatory.
Dark Pegasus
移動の叫び
「応援」コマンド選択時、1ターン周囲3マス以内のみかたの移動＋1
Movement(!!!) Cry: Unlike the other Cries, this (thanksfully) only gives a +1 boost to its namesake stat.
Gryphon Knight
運び手
ダブルの状態で、移動＋2
Carrier (Urgently need a doublecheck on the name): When Double is Active, Movement+2.
Oh, and also says what the Villager's Lv.15 Skill does:
[spoiler= Weak Beats Strong]
下克上
敵のレベルが自分より高い（上級職は＋20）時、命中・回避+15
Hit and Avoid +15 when the Enemy's Level is higher than the User's (Level+20 is assumed for Promoted Units)
-
Huh
The bow slayer description talks about axe-wielding enemies
Re-checked it... The source indulged in a bit of copypasta as an easy way out (you see, the Hero's Axe Slayer skill was close by), yet forgot to double Kanji-check.
-
Umm... managed to find some more Class Skills updated from both of the linked sources in the Skills page, I'd be grateful if anyone more skilled in Japanese can pull a more clear translation...
[spoiler=Short List](from h_yusaku)
Dark Knight
Learned at Lv. 5
スロースタート
毎ターン命中・回避が1ずつ上昇

(from FE13 WT wiki)

技の叫び
「応援」コマンド選択時、１ターン周囲３マス以内の味方の技＋４

敵が斧装備時、命中・回避＋５０
Bow Slayer: Hit and Avoid +50 when the enemy is equipped with a bow

I actually think the Body Type restricts all the other options but haircolor: I mean, the Slender Type showcased in the video didn't have the Always-shut eyes option that was showcased with the Burly type in one of the later Famitsu articles...
-
So let me understand: Soiree's daughter is as tomboyish as her, Mariabel gives birth to the raddest-looking Priest and the Old Man in charge of summoning DLC character is also a matchmaker, alright...
-
So the "Marth" defending Liz from zombies scene would now become Lucina (sorry, the name was influenced by PoR's Luchino -> Lucia localization) defending her aunt if that were the case...
Not surprised at the fact of receiving offsprings from S-ranking male characters because that gives equal ground to pairing MUs of both gender. Now the question here is if two characters that can get a child each when paired separately marry, will the player get only an offspring (in which case, how would the parent priority work?) or do we get both as siblings?
-
It doesn't apply, then - the term is literally "losing from killing (too much)". As the article itself says, mercs and myrmidons are especially prone to this.
So it's like an old saying back home, (paraphrased) "Lots of swimming, just before dying at the shore".
-
You know, I heard somewhere else that Anna marrying MU would be a blasphemy... but giving some thought, the Marriage would be quite far from it: if one can customize MU's growth like in FE12, he'll be minmaxable enough to beget the RNMessiah out of the S-rank.
-
Also....is falcon knight the other troubadour promotion? Nothing else fits...
Seems to be the most logical progression, as the other alternatives (Sage/B. Cleric/Trickster) wouldn't justify stopping being a mounted unit...
On a unrelated note, is safe to say Basilio is a Warrior...
-
Thats lame I thought any magic used could use dark magic in this game . Also does anyone else find it weird that DARK knights can't even use dark magic .
I would blame it on whoever thought "Dark" would make a nice short for "Yes, this unit can also cast magic". I won't be surprised if Dark Knights/Pegasi end up localized as Mage Knights and Pegasus Mages respectively in the European version...
You know, though, there's really nothing that could stop a Sorcerer from being able to transfer his/her Dark Magic capabilities to other Tome-wielding classes through a (High-level) Skill unless the Devs hadn't thought of it...
-
I think this has more to do with the fact Battle Clergy became the most direct promotion for Priests/Clerics instead of Bishops: there's that feeling of mine that IS realized Promoted Priests would be excellent Anti-magic Tanks with their tendency towards higher Resistance if it weren't for the fact they could damage Mages with Light tomes and their pidgeonholed low Might only because in Normal and lower difficulties enemy mages have low enough Res. to take a hit from those tomes, so in turn IS went pragmatical by taking in account a Mage's main weakness (low Defense) and making Priests exploit it through access to the Physical Weapons with the highest Might values possible (Axes) and, a la FE12, with said weapons lacking a Weight stat to hinder AS with.
Which is why I also think that Battle Monks/Clerics will end up with the Highest Cap for Res. despite their relatively low Class Bases overall and the inevitable Class Growths/Caps overhaul they are gonna need for their other stats in order to be a viable Axe-wielding class...
Dark Magic users seem better here than in other FE games.

Personally, I'll probably end up offset Henry's Speed issue by reclassing him through Barbarian->Berserker: Those classes tend to also have good Speed growths, and the "Gamble+Wrath+Vengeance" Trio makes him a good Ruin-wielder...
Wait, something silly I just noticed: Henry has better Skill than Speed but has access to Speed-boosting classes, while Sariya is more Speed than Skill but the base classes she can change into are Skill-boosting ones...
