MacLovin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Y'know, not for srs LTC, but pairings that are pretty good with the resources needed. Like LexXLachesis, JamkaXAyra, ArdanXAideen, LexXBriggid, LExXAnyonebutAideen, NoishXLachesis. Also, Lex seems to be the perfect dad, since. LexXAyra- Kids turn into stonewall dodgers with ELite+Ambush. Also fairly fast. LexXTiltyu- Wrath+Ambush LExXFury- COmbat!Fee at her finest. Also Tanky Sety. LexXAideen- IDK about this one, I guess Lana lvls fast? LexXBriggid- Patty, Elite, high str/def growths. LexXSylvia- COrple makes Sharlow obsolete? LExXLAchesis- Delmud becomes a great frontliner and just needs the pursuit ring!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Sounds adequate for a draft, if there's free Ardan. Aside from that... I guess post-promo Lana can Ambush? And for underrated pairings, Levin/Fury Edited August 1, 2012 by Baldrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Everyone seems to neglect Azel/Fury for some reason. Produces perfectly viable kids, though it is a bit redundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I've done AzelxFury... it's not stellar. Fee's pretty weak and Sety would much rather have staves than A rank Fire. NoishxLachesis isn't bad, the lack of pursuit hurts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 noishtiltyu is both completely redundant and 100% hilarious on a different note i found that lexaideen produces a decent lester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Uh, why? Expand on this? Bow inheritance for Lester mostly. Thankfully Jamka and especially Midayle shouldn't be taken often by other wives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 unfourtunatly lester is still really slow and pursuitless so its still a pretty bad pairing i like beowulf briggid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Fin x Tiltyu. It's basically Lex x Tiltyu, but is harder to set-up and requires the kids to get healed again at the beginning of every turn. In exchange for this though, they can double, which if you're not really caring about LTC, is probably worth it. Also Lex x anyone is a good pairing just because of Elite. If any skill comes anywhere close to Pursuit, that's the one. Now imagine if he had Pursuit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvercrow Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Fin Tiltyu is like... not even close to Lex Tiltyu The thing about Lex Tiltyu is that even though Arthur's magic growth is horrible, it doesn't matter because his damage is so high from Wrath and he gets a level lead with Elite which leads to him stomping until the tail end of chapter 10. He can't really say the same when Fin is his dad, even with Prayer pursuit deals less damage than Wrath (not accounting for the pursuit ring) and he doesn't have either Neir blood, a level lead, or huge oneshot damage to protect him, he's just relying on Prayer procs I mean, it's not horrible, but you can't really compare it to Lex. I still adamantly think Lex is Tiltyu's best suitor outside of Levin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) ...What? You do know that Wrath comes from Tiltyu, not Lex, right? Arthur and Tinny ALWAYS have Wrath, no matter who their dad is. Lex gives them Elite and Ambush (which is the important one, as it allows them to OHKO units when they're at low health before they get attacked), and Fin gives Prayer and Pursuit. Prayer fulfills the same function as Ambush in that it allows the kids to stay alive longer, and Pursuit, allows Fin!Arthur/Tinny to attack twice, because even with a Magic Ring they stop OHKOing after a while. They'll be lower-leveled than Lex!Arthur/Tinny, to be sure, but it can be worth it because they ORKO for longer. They'll promote later, but it's casual play anyways, and it's not like the extra levels are getting them many more MAG procs.

Yea, my bad, I was pretty exhausted while I wrote it and kind of threw out some random wrong stuff The major difference is that with Lex, Arthur can solo the Melgan army in chapter 7 with only Charisma and get double EXP out of it, which gets him his promotion in chapter 8. Fin might be able to do the same, but you need to manipulate it such that he's at very low HP (rather than just below half), he'll struggle with Ishtor and Blume, and he'll get significantly less EXP and probably won't promote at the start of chapter 8, which is when you really want him up and running because he massacres dragon knights easily. This assumes he gets the Pursuit ring in C7, but there's likely not going to be anyone else that really wants it then (unless you have like, a Lester without pursuit or something, but I think it's not unreasonable to let Arthur have it) I guess there might be some reliable way to manipulate it so that Arthur's HP remains at a critical value of < 5 every round when Fin is his father, but I haven't tried it Edited August 3, 2012 by Silvercrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The main attraction of Fin over Lex is Pursuit. If Lex!Arthur is getting the Pursuit Ring, then I might as well argue that Fin!Arthur is getting the Elite Ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lex!Arthur is getting the Pursuit Ring, then I might as well argue that Fin!Arthur is getting the Elite Ring. You could give it to him, but I think he has more competition. Before chapter 8, the people who want Pursuit are just whoever you don't give pursuit to in pairings, which is either Lester or Delmud. Neither of them are nearly as strong as Arthur is with Pursuit, and they at least have access to Brave weapons (unless you did a really weird Lester pairing) I think it's a lot more to ask for Celice to give up the Elite ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 In that respect, doesn't Leaf want the pursuit ring then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvercrow Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) In that respect, doesn't Leaf want the pursuit ring then? Yea, but you can take it off Arthur and give it to him in chapter 8. A promoted Arthur no longer needs it There's no real way to get it to him otherwise in chapter 7 unless you have Ethlin pass it down, but you probably don't want to give it up for 2 chapters in Gen1 just for that Edited August 3, 2012 by Silvercrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 leaf gets pursuit upon promotion anyway admittedly most people don't have leaf promoted in c8 but he also has access to hero weapons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 If this isn't serious LTC, Celice isn't guaranteed the Elite Ring. And even if he does have it, Celice can be done with the Elite Ring by C7 if he's allowed to take the lion's share of kills in C6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Wondering. Is ClaudeXLAchesis any good, since we can just hand Delmud a pursuit ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Wondering. Is ClaudeXLAchesis any good, since we can just hand Delmud a pursuit ring. Uh... it could work out. It's basically Nanna trading combat for utility since she can't double but can use B staves and then you get a pretty similar Delmud to Azel!Delmud from a stats POV. But competition for the Pursuit Ring can be really high so it would depend on your other pairings, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Holsety!Artur doesn't want the ring. Neither does any other kid, unless it's Lex/Noish!Delmud. LEaf doesn't need it, since her sword/elite ring exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Fortunately, we don't have to consider Lex/Noish!Delmud as competition when looking at Claude!Delmud's chances of getting it. Lex!Arthur might want the Pursuit Ring, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
