My final kids S-rank pairings were Hisame x Caeldori (we are RESPONSIBLE GROWN UPS), Midori x Kiragi (cute mountain climbers is pretty accurate, but honestly "supplement Kiragi's near 100% de facto crit rate with insane luck boost" is more appropriate for why they're so good), and Asugi x Selkie (hilarious, they're definitely the type of couple to « Cow Poopoo » talk each other the whole way through every game they play).

Got Dwyer and Mitama to A but never saw their S. Sophie, Shigure and Shiro were all forever alone (C and B rank with a few different people). I married Rhajat -- I did grind out her supports with Dwyer, though, which were hilarious. (Didn't see S rank because married.)
Spoiler:
Ooommmmg so true! I was wondering why Kiragi crits nearly EVERY time he's in battle - it's because Midori brings on the luck! A+ tyke bombs

Excited to see Dwyer and Mitama's A and S supports. Ommmggg Asugi x Selkie sounds fantastic! Shigure is SUCH a sweetie. Super glad I paired him with Sophie, they're just adorable and charming together. Lol Caeldori x Hisame being responsible grown ups :lol:
Comforting to hear Conquest isn't so bad after finishing Birthright. I gotta say I'm a little nervous to play after some of these maps in Birthright (imagining defense for these makes it seem even harder oy).
Spoiler:
I'll have to check out Shigure and Sophie -- I think I saw their C rank and liked it, but wanted to shop around. I also just didn't like Shigure that much so I never really used him. |3;

Asugi x Selkie is amazing. In guard stance, Asugi says "What now, genius?" and when blocking in guard stance, Selkie says, "Watch out, dumb dumb!" This complements their supports together pretty well. It's very cute.
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it will get worse with Conquest (especially with alternate win conditions)... but I think after getting a good handle on the battle system in Birthright it's easier the second time around. Also, if you're having trouble, you can always get Boo Camp and grind for experience. That pretty much negated the challenge for my husband.

What is Boo Camp? One of the DLC maps?

I wound up buying boo camp and the "before awakening" map (which is free) and it helped a bit. At least to get some supports going and I had paralogues to complete instead. I haven't done a story chapter in a while because of that (and irl distractions). Not to mention I'm procrastinating on the next chapter since I'll have to defeat my birthright husbando and idk if I'm ready for that

Chapter 14 of Revelations
Spoiler:
I felt so happy watching Elise's cutscene. I always felt bad because in Conquest and Birthright Elise and Sakura didn't have CGI cutscenes, but it makes sense since they're the youngest and should show unity and that's what Revelations is about.

Also, I'm not liking the requirements to get Benny and Charlotte in this chapter; Elise has such a low chance of living that I feel like I'm guiding her from person to person in order to keep her alive and get both Charlotte and Benny. I already got Benny; Charlotte might be a problem.

I like Seigbert's supports with Velouria and Ophelia c: the Velouria ones are a bit funnier but the Ophelia ones seemed more heartfelt to me

You're right! Almost fell past the point of no return there. It's such a slippery slope you can't recover from, bruh.

I guess it could be worse. Besides, Nohr sibs r only half sibs to one another...?

Asugi support talk + the kids in general
Spoiler:
I'm pleasantly surprised that Asugi's supports with the girls (except Midori, I haven't seen theirs) were really nice. I thought it would be all about him and his candy because that's all he ever talks about in battle and in my castle, but the supports actually show his character and he's great! Now I don't know who to marry him off to lol though I'm slightly partial to Mitama because she made him blush hahaha

I'm liking the supports among the kids because they're all nice! Specially the boys (s/o to Shigure, Dwyer, and Asugi). I guess dealing with gen 1 dudes like Jakob, Azama, and Saizo made me expect otherwise.

Yoooo the music in chapter 22 in conquest was A++++

It reminded me of some kind of Nightwish/Within Temptation tune (more WT than anything).

Games are tons of fun but the writing irritates the knickers out of me. But loving these maps ~0~

Also lol just realized I missed recruiting yukimura in my birthright run. Whoops.

Lol ikr?? I was so annoyed with Jakob and Azama that I had a lot of trouble pairing them up. Saizo is actually really sweet to Mozu, so they worked out fine (and are easily one of my favorite pairings - they bond over tending crops, I am super biased). I was initially a little worried the kids wouldn't be worth it, but Mitama and Dwyer are a JOY and Asugi is fantastic as well.

Super loving the kids in Birthright, pretty excited to see the Conquest kids too :)

Spoiler:
Yeah I paired Jakob and Azama with whoever they weren't rude to, which were Mozu and Orochi (there could be others but seeing their supports first sealed it haha). Saizo is better than the two but he's initially rude/too wary of the Nohrian girls.

I love the Birthright kids too! I'm going to grind for Dwyer's supports next. I am so glad he's so much better, personality-wise, compared to Jakob. His in game portraits are entertaining too =))

Re Boo Camp, it's $2.65 so while it is paid DLC, it's pretty cheap and lets you actually grind supports, so to me it's worth it. I guess it would depend on your individual situation.

Re Birthright supports
Spoiler:
Asugi is very cute (I married Gaius in Awakening though so obvs biased). I never tried him with Mitama - I'll have to just grind out every single support in Revelation, haha.

Also, I don't know what you guys are talking about, Azama is amazing :lol:
Early Conquest supports
Spoiler:
Arthur and Felicia are PERFECT together and I LOVE THEM, but I'm only just past Chapter 9! I can't decide my ships yet! Also, is it just me or do supports grind much more easily in this game? I already have a bunch of B levels. Maybe because there are much fewer characters?
