Tiltyu

	Max weapon rank
	Sword C, Fire/Thunder/Wind/Staff B
	Son	Daughter
Children	Arthur	Tinny

Parents ranked: Lex, Azel, Levin, Claude, Nobody

As Tiltyu going unpaired is often suggested, in this situation Amid and Linda will replace Athur and Tinny.

Lex

	Max weapon rank
	Axe A
	Initial	Per turn	Conversation(s)
Love growth	120	+3	None

Arthur

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Thunder B, Fire/Wind C			Thunder A, Sword/Fire/Wind B
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	2	8	9	9	10	4	5
Growth rates (%)	130	45	15	65	40	45	55	10
Skills	Wrath, Elite, Ambush

Arthur will have the second best HP, Strength, second worst Skill, lowest Speed, second lowest Luck, and highest Defense. Most importantly his Magic will be second lowest, meaning that until promotion he won’t deal much damage. After promoting Arthur can use swords, but with a somewhat low Strength cap, he won’t deal much damage. Arthur will need either the Pursuit Ring or a Hero Sword in order to fight well. Lex can’t pass anything down, so there is another problem. Overall he will be a moderate tank (hindered by his low Defense cap), but will never deal great damage, physical or magic.

Rating: 2/10 (It would be a 0 if he didn’t get swords after promotion)

Tinny

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Fire/Wind C, Thunder B			Sword C, Thunder A, Fire/Wind/Staff B
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	1	8	10	10	12	4	6
Growth rates (%)	115	30	22	70	50	60	50	12
Skills	Wrath, Continue(After Promotion), Ambush, Elite

Tinny will have second best HP, Strength, second worst Skill, lowest Speed, second lowest Luck, and highest Defense. Her Magic is average for a physical father, but with her higher Strength after promoting she can use swords with some efficiency. She’s probably better off with Magic, but Lex does enable her to use swords somewhat well.

Rating: 6/10

Skills

This is the only reason this pairing will really be considered. This pairing gives the killer combo of Ambush and Wrath, meaning that once the kids are below 50% max HP, they will always attack first and always critical hit, meaning that they will very likely kill the enemy. Their combat ability isn’t great, but it is boosted dramatically when their HP drops. Elite is nice, and given that the children will not be able to deal great damage, leveling up and promoting to gain higher stats faster is a huge bonus. However, without Pursuit they are held back even more.

Rating: 6.5/10

Difficulty to acquire

Tiltyu will not be fighting much and even if she does she has miniscule movement compared to Lex. They have an average love base and growth (for Tiltyu) and no conversation that will speed things up. Lex will be severely held back by this so this is not easy.

Rating: 0/10

Overall

The only reason that this pairing would be used is the Wrath and Ambush combination. Both children will have lackluster combat ability unless they are below 50% of their max HP. Overall this is not a great pairing given the low combat ability of the kids, and the difficulty to acquire it.

Rating: 3/10

Azel

	Max weapon rank
	Sword B, Fire A, Thunder/Wind B
	Initial	Per turn	Conversation(s)
Love growth	120	+3	+100 points (Ch. 4)

Arthur

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Fire/Thunder B, Wind C			Fire/Thunder A, Sword/Wind B
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	30	0	10	8	10	9	2	6
Growth rates (%)	110	15	50	65	70	45	25	15
Skills	Wrath, Pursuit

Arthur will inherit anything that Azel can use, apart from swords. Arthur will have second worst HP, lowest Strength, highest Magic, second lowest Skill, second highest Speed, second lowest Luck, and lowest Defense. This makes him a significantly better Mage because he can deal excellent Magic damage both before and after promotion. He won’t be very efficient with dealing physical damage, but he's superior with magic anyway, so it's only a minor negative. Another setback is that fire magic is the worst magic to specialize in, but he’ll be fast enough that the weight won’t be too big of a setback. Arthur can also resort to using thunder magic, but will likely not inherit these tomes.

Rating: 9/10 (-1 for lack of decent physical damage, and because there is one better pairing for him)

Tinny

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Fire/Thunder B, Wind C			Sword C, Fire/Thunder A, Wind/Staff B
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	30	0	11	10	11	12	2	6
Growth rates (%)	105	15	55	70	65	60	20	15
Skills	Wrath, Continue (After Promotion), Pursuit

She has either the third best or third worst HP, worst Strength, best Magic, worst Skill, second best Speed, second worst Luck, and worst Defense. She’ll be an excellent mage, and later healer, can dodge often, but will not deal excellent physical damage. That’s not too big of a problem, but it still holds her back a little. She’ll get a slightly better ranking than Arthur because, although she has the same advantages and disadvantages, she will inherit thunder magic so she won’t be held back by the heavy weight of fire magic like Arthur will likely be initially.

Rating: 9.5/10

Skills

Pursuit is the only skill that Azel gives, which is enough. However as mentioned previously with other Azel pairings, Pursuit is great, but other pairings could give Pursuit and more.

Rating: 8/10

Difficulty to acquire

The two have similar movement range, but by the time Tiltyu shows up, Azel will likely be promoted and will be held back by needing to be by Tiltyu's side. Azel could fight then move back from his position which may not be a bad idea given that he isn’t a great frontline fighter. The two have an average base and growth, but there is a conversation to get them 100 points closer, meaning that this isn’t too difficult.

Rating: 6/10

Overall

Overall this is an excellent pairing for Tiltyu. The kids will be excellent mages and are only held back by their low physical damage, and Azel being held back. Another small problem is that Azel only gives Pursuit. The other reason the pairing is slightly lowered is that there is another pairing that is better.

Rating: 8.5/10

Levin

	Max weapon rank
	Wind *, Fire/Thunder/Light/Staff B
	Initial	Per turn	Conversation(s)
Love growth	120	+3	None

Arthur

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Thunder B, Wind *, Fire C			Thunder A, Wind *, Sword/Fire B
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	0	10	10	11	10	2	6
Growth rates (%)	130	15	40	85	110	45	25	15
Skills	Wrath, Continue, Critical

This will give Arthur the second best HP, lowest Strength, second best Magic, second best Skill, best Speed, second lowest Luck, and lowest Defense. Arthur will inherit any wind tomes from Levin, including Holsety, meaning that he will be an excellent dodger. He will never have any problems dealing damage, so there is nothing to complain about. Like with Azel Arthur will have problems damaging with swords, but with Holsety he won’t need swords.

Rating: 10/10

Tinny

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Thunder/Wind B, Fire C			Sword C, Thunder/Wind A, Fire/Staff B
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	0	9	11	11	12	2	6
Growth rates (%)	105	15	35	80	85	60	20	15
Skills	Wrath, Continue, Critical

The same differences that apply to Arthur apply to Tinny. Her Magic will be lowered even more so than with Arthur, but it’s still better than every physical father. Wind magic is probably the best magic type, and with Holsety blood, she can use better wind tomes, but she will likely end up with Tron anyways. She can be a great mage, but will not be able to deal good physical damage, which is a barely a disadvantage. She can dodge well and will have comparatively lower Luck, which is still not bad. She can heal reasonably well, but Azel gives better Magic. In the end this is a better version of Tinny though because the the increased Speed outweighs the reduced Magic. Note that once Tiltyu promotes, she can be given Levin’s Elwind, which is better than Elthunder, so Tinny can use that immediately thanks to minor Holsety blood.

Rating: 9/10

Skills

Levin will pass down Continue and Critical. Continue will activate very often with their massive Speed, and Critical will activate often thanks to the high Skill Tordo blood gives. These are very good skills, but the key factor is that Pursuit is missing. In order for Arthur to kill reliably he will need the Pursuit Ring. Tinny will too, but will probably not be a main killer so she won’t need it nearly as much.

Rating: 6.5/10

Difficulty to acquire

The two have an average growth and no conversations to speed things up. Levin will be held back because he can easily carry the army on his own, while Tiltyu will barely be surviving. They have similar movement range, but Levin will be moving right into range of enemies while Tiltyu needs protection.

Rating: 4/10

Overall

Overall this is likely the best pairing for Tiltyu. There is much debate as to who is the better Holsety user, but that’s not a factor here. Arthur will be a killing machine with Holsety and although it’s a shame he doesn’t have Pursuit, he can still deal excellent damage. Tinny will also be excellent, although there is another pairing that makes her even better.

Rating: 9/10

Claude

	Max weapon rank
	Fire/Thunder/Wind C, Staff *
	Initial	Per turn	Conversation(s)
Love growth	180	+3	None

Arthur

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Thunder B, Fire/Wind C			Thunder A, Sword/Fire/Wind B
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	28	0	10	8	9	11	2	8
Growth rates (%)	110	15	50	65	50	75	25	55
Skills	Wrath

He’ll have HP lower than Levin, although equal to Azel, the same Magic as Azel, second worst Skill, second worst Speed, highest Luck, and tied with Azel and Levin for lowest Defense. As in all cases with Major Blaggi, his Resistance will be massive. As for inheritance, Claude will pass down the Valkyrie Staff, but Arthur can’t use it. Claude can only use C rank tomes, which is the same as Arthur, except Arthur gets B thunder. However, Elthunder, the only B rank thunder tome will most likely be going to Tinny, so inheritance isn’t a problem. Claude’s staves will need to be given to someone else though, because he can’t pass them down. Arthur will be able to do decent magical damage, although limited physical. He won’t have great Speed, but his Luck is excellent meaning he can dodge somewhat well. He can also tank against magic, so that is a benefit. This is inferior though to Azel and Levin, because of the Speed difference, and in Levin’s case, Holsety.

Rating: 8/10 (Inferior, but by no means bad)

Tinny

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Fire/Wind C, Thunder B			Sword C, Thunder A, Fire/Wind, Staff A
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	28	0	9	10	10	12	1	7
Growth rates (%)	95	15	40	70	55	75	20	35
Skills	Wrath, Continue (After Promotion)

This really helps her out. The same differences that apply between Azel/Levin and Claude for Arthur apply to Tinny. The Speed difference is even larger, and Claude gives more Magic then Levin, but less than Azel. Statistically this is inferior, but it’s the Blaggi blood that redeems it. Tinny can use any staff (other than the Valkyrie Staff) massively increasing her ability as a healer.

Rating: 9/10

Skills

Claude gives no skills.

Rating: 0/10

Difficulty to acquire

They have a standard growth, but a higher than average base. There are no conversations to speed things up, but given that Claude will likely be healing long range with Reserve, and that Tiltyu won’t be doing much fighting, keeping them together shouldn’t be a problem. The only conceivable problem would be that if one of them gets used as a fighter, the other would be hindered, but there’s not much chance of that happening.

Rating: 9/10

Overall

Overall this is inferior to Azel and Levin, but still better than Lex. Arthur here is worse than Azel/Levin!Arthur. Tinny will be less of a fighter, but can be used as a better healer. This is a decent pairing and, although probably not a primary choice, if both Azel and Levin are taken, this is a good backup. The lack of skills does hurt them though.

Rating: 7/10

Nobody

Amid

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Wind B			Sword C, Fire/Wind B, Thunder A
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	29	1	11	10	14	6	4	9
Growth rates (%)	90	20	40	50	40	20	20	20
Skills	Continue

Amid will have the second worst HP (compared to all Arthurs), slightly better Strength than any mage!Arthur, Magic equivalent to that of Levin, the lowest possible Skill, Speed, Luck, and Defense. Another difference is that while Arthur starts as a Mage and promotes to Mage Knight, Amid starts as a Wind Mage and promotes to Magefighter. That is a large difference because Arthur gets a horse and much better movement eventually. Also, until promotion, Amid can only use wind magic, not fire or thunder. However he starts with a B rank, so he can use Elwind. Still, he is largely inferior to any version of Arthur, and although he will have a decent balance of Strength and Magic, it is largely meaningless because of his otherwise low stats.

Rating: 0/10

Linda

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Thunder A			Sword C, Fire/Wind B, Thunder A, Staff B
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	26	0	11	12	9	2	2	7
Growth rates (%)	90	10	40	40	30	20	10	20
Skills	Wrath, Elite, Continue (After promotion)

She will have the second lowest HP, lowest Strength, Magic tied with Claude, lowest Skill, Speed, Luck, and Defense. Like Arthur/Amid she has a different class. They both promote to Magefighter, but while Tinny starts as a Mage, Linda is a Thunder Mage. With Tordo blood, she starts with an A rank meaning she can use Tron even before promoting. That is pretty much the only advantage she has over Tinny.

Rating: 1/10 (Bonus for Tron)

Skills

Amid will only have Continue which doesn’t do him much good given his pathetically low Speed. When it activates, it will help him kill, but barely. Linda gets Wrath and Elite, which are much better. Given her low stats, she will be dropping to low HP often, so she can kill much more easily. Elite means she’ll get better faster, which helps because she needs the promotion bonus, and at least after promotion, can be relegated as a healer. Unfortunately, she will likely die after one attack of Wrath, so it has little enemy phase value.

Rating: 5/10 (Elite is that helpful for Linda, but Wrath and Continue have limited use, and there is no Pursuit)

Difficulty to acquire

This couldn’t be easier. All it requires is killing of Tiltyu. She will barely have any function in the army, so this won’t hinder the team at all. If you choose to let her live, just be careful not to let her fall in love.

Rating: 10/10

Overall

Overall this is worse than even Lex. The kids will have unremarkable stats and lackluster skills, with the only redeeming factor being the easiness to acquire it.

Rating: 2/10

Summary

Tiltyu's best pairings are:

1. Levin

2. Azel

3. Claude
