(Marked spoilers for discussion of Kanna)

Let's face it guys, quite a few of us are going to fall under the spell of Camilla's charms (and other assets), so if we are going to accept our fate we might as well get the most out of the relationship.

First, let's look at the hard facts:

Avatar

---------

Growth Rates (before Asset/Flaw): HP 45%, Str 45%, Mag 30%, Skl 40%, Spd 45%, Lck 45%, Def 35%, Res 25%.

Class Set: Dark Prince

Personal Skill: Mysterious Appeal

Obtainable Skills: Noble Lineage, Dragon Fang, Draconic Curse, Nohr

Camilla

----------

Growth Rates: HP 40%, Str 50%, Mag 25%, Skl 50%, Spd 55%, Lck 25%, Def 35%, Res 45%

Max Stats: Str +1, Mag -1, Skl +1, Spd +1, Lck -2, Def +1

Class Set: Wyvern Rider, Dark Mage

Personal Skill: Bewitching Flower

Obtainable Skills: Strength +2, Cut Through, Rally Defense, Swordbreaker, Deadly Breath, Overbearing, Bind, Devilish Wind, Vengeance, Bowbreaker, Magic Seal, Lifetaker

Kanna

---------

Growth Rates (base): HP 30%, Str 35%, Mag 30%, Skl 40%, Spd 45%, Lck 45%, Def 25%, Res 25%

Class Set: Dark Princess, Wyvern Rider, Dark Mage

Personal Skill: Dragon Child

Obtainable Skills: Noble Lineage, Dragon Fang, Draconic Curse, Nohr, Strength +2, Cut Through, Rally Defense, Swordbreaker, Deadly Breath, Overbearing, Bind, Devilish Wind, Vengeance, Bowbreaker, Magic Seal, Lifetaker

We will also assume the following:

1) Avatar and Camilla will fight toghether as much as possible, whether it be Attack or Guard Stance.

2) We want Kanna to be as good as possible.

So based on this information, we want to determine the following:

1) Ideal Asset, Flaw, and secondary class for the Avatar.

2) Ideal class and skill setups for all three characters.

3) Ideal husband for Kanna (optional)

My two cents:

I'm going to start by analyzing Camilla as she is the most defined of the three characters from the start. Her strengths are her Str, Skl, Spd and to a lesser extent Res. She starts off as a Revenant Knight and as such would make a great mage-killer if not for Magic's weapon triangle advantage over axes. Personally I think she would be better off as a Wyvern Lord which would emphasize her strengths better while also giving her some much needed HP and Def. I personally don't forsee getting much mileage out of her Dark Mage line.

Since we are looking at a strength-focused Camilla we probably want a strength-focused Avatar to complement her. I'm no expert at Fire Emblem waifu min-maxing but the obvious choice seems to be Strength for Asset and Magic for Flaw, though that does reduce our speed a bit. The secondary class is a much more difficult choice. I'm thinking either Cavalier, Knight, or Fighter could work. Both Cavalier and Knight include Great Knight and thus the ever-useful Luna. Cavalier gives us Rescue and Aegis, while Knight gives us Pavise. Fighter means Berserker and thus Axefaire which Camilla would certainly love. Alternatively Brave Hero gives us Sol.

And of course our darling daughter Kanna inherits all of the above.

Like I said I'm no expert at this stuff so I'm looking forward to what you guys have to contribute. o.ob

Speed/Luck is probably a good Asset/Flaw combo. Speed is just way too useful to pass up because of doubling and evasion purposes, while taking Luck as a Flaw has the benefit of not providing negatives to Skill or Speed. This would bring Kamui up to:

Growth Rates: HP 45%, Str 40%, Mag 25%, Skl 45%, Spd 60%, Lck 30%, Def 35%, Res 25%

Max Stats: Str -1, Mag -1, Skl +2, Spd +4, Lck -1

and Kanna (possibly) up to:

Growth Rates: HP 43%, Str 42%, Mag 27%, Skl 45%, Spd 53%, Lck 33%, Def 32%, Res 32%

Max Stats: Str +1, Mag -1, Skl +4, Spd +6, Lck -2, Def +2, Res +1

Class Set: Dark Princess, Wyvern Rider, Dark Mage

Pretty solid growths and max stat modifiers for Kanna. For Kamui's alternate class, I'm thinking something from Hoshido. Kanna can always just S and A+ other child characters to grab classes like Cavalier, while Kamui can A anyone in Nohr and still enjoy whatever alternate class is chosen. Going Hoshido lets you cover more ground and get more skills. Of the Hoshido classes, Samurai, Lance Fighter and Bowman all have merits. Samurai for Vantage, Lancefighter for Breaking Sky and Flamboyant, and Bowman for Prescient Victory, Raven Strike and Sun God. With Samurai you can pull off the Vantage/Vengeance combo but whether it's worth it with the lower Skill cap and skill activation rate remains to be seen. Either way, I figure mandatory skills would be Draconic Curse on both Kamui and Kanna, Deadly Breath to drop surrounding enemies health, possibly a -faire skill depending on which weapon you want, an activator (Vengeance, Luna, Breaking Sky) and then personal preference. Overbearing is always nice, Pavise or Patient Assurance if you want survivability or increased damage on enemy phase, or Bowbreaker to counter the flying weakness. Chucking all three into the Wyvern Lord class is also a good idea. High Strength, Skill, Speed and Defense plus flying utility.
