I have only played Awakening (not finished yet). But I was thinking of getting the only other FE I can get, Shadow Dragon (I own no GBA, GC, or Wii). From a point if view of playing just FE: Awakening?: Is it good? Is it hard? I've grinded the crap out of my units in Awakening and I'm enjoying stomping through the game (I only play 1-2 Chapters a day, I'm at 18 currently). How relevant is it to this game, game mechanics wise and story-wise?

That's not what I meant. I meant Lucina herself has then, so she can use them alongside Robin in Pair Ups.

If she is Chrom!Cynthia (like mine is), isn't Lucina better?: - Plot - You get Lucina earlier - Access to lord and great lord classes, so Lucina can get Dual Strike+ and Rightful King.

But I'm not looking just for a partner, I'm looking for a good way to use Robin's genes as well.

Anyone? :D

Image doesn't work.

Very nice post on a Tier of sorts for needing Robin's genes. But what about the other part, namely which wife makes a good pair up partner (as lead or support doesn't matter, as long as they can be used together even in the Post Game DLC) for Robin?

Yes. I am.

And how good is it? Is Taguel a good class? I know Manakete is better in most opinions because of just the Range. Is Panne good at supporting or leading?

I got a file that is at Ch12 and I have Male Robin as a lvl9 Grandmaster, Chrom as a Great Lord (lvl3), Donnel allready out of Villager, and Cordelia & Sumia on their way to get Galeforce (low level Dark Fliers) themselves. I was thinking if I wanted to optimize for Apotheosis, I should maybe restart as a Female Robin.

I don't judge a woman of what society deems attractive. Flat or not, tall or short, if she has a personality that's compatible with my own and is smart, I'm game. *stands-proud*

Looking at your Avatar, it reminded me of the Robin-exclusive Wifes. I like some of them (Tiki, Emmeryn, and Aversa) but they come in so late and are no better than any regular Generation one wife (except maybe Aversa and it's mostly for Shadowgift...still, way late).

Any son from Chrom inherits Rightful King. Any daughter from Chrom / Lucina inherits Aether. Since Morgan would be female in that case, it is Aether.

I'll start. Tharja: Dark Unsweetened Chocolate

Olivia is planned to go with Henry currently but I haven't even got Henry yet. So she IS available somewhat. I have read that Olivia isn't great at pair ups either way, but she is a Dance/Buff bot. I have the Bride DLC that has a Rally for the Buffing role I guess. One thing that could be done is to just use one of Robin's kids (since there are 13 kids, one is getting left out of marriage) as his partner and let Olivia buff in the back.

Current plan is for Nowi x Vaike and Tharja x Gaius if I don't go with them for Robin. Donnel went with Sully.

I just...can't. I want a wife that Robin can Pair Up with in the Late Game and Post Game DLC. But I also like to make good use of Robin's great Stat mods and Class sets of his kids. It can't be Sumia, she is Chrom's wife. Characters I like are Cordelia (though I feel using Robin on Severa isn't an efficient use of Robin's super dad skills, Severa is great with almost all dads), Tharja (I've read Noire likes Robin as a dad, I like Tharja too, reminds me of Urd from OMG, but I think she is just adequate as a Support Pair up to Robin), Nowi (I like dragons in general and I heard that like Noire, Nah loves Robin as a father, but I also read that Nowi is just isn't useful to pair up with Robin at the Post game due to her lacking class set), and Lucina (Chrome but better, she is great as a Pair Up Partner, but while Morgan will have great mods as a third gen character, she will be an only child). Any help/tips? I hate my indecisiveness. :(

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm new to the FE series, recently acquired Awakening, but I played IS's Advance Wars series (every US released one). Enjoying the game so far but for the love of Naga I can't pick a Wife for Robin. :(
