Aira

Son: Skasaha
Daughter: Lakche

These are the males that will be graded: Noishe, Lex, Dew, Jamka, Holyn

Noishe

Skasaha

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	30	11	0	13	12	8	9	0
Growth rates (%)	125	55	7	75	35	30	50	7
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Awareness, Astral Sword, Charge, Critical

Without Holy Blood Noishe’s growths are about average. He specializes in Strength and Defense while being weaker in Speed and Skill. As a Swordfighter Skasaha will need those two stats. However his Skill will never be bad thanks to his Odo blood. His Speed growth will be hurt by this, but it will never be bad. Noishe is able to use swords up to level B while Skasaha can use up to A meaning Blades can’t be inherited. This pairing covers up Aira’s weak spots (Strength and Defense) but his Speed will suffer.

Rating: 8.5/10

Lakche

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	30	10	0	13	13	8	7	0
Growth rates (%)	110	50	7	75	40	30	40	7
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Awareness, Astral Sword, Continue (After promotion), Charge, Critical

As previously stated messing up Lakche is not easy. She’ll have great Strength, Skill, Speed and Defense. Inheritance is a non-issue for her so really this pairing does her no harm. Of note this pairing gives her the second best Strength, and the best Defense barring Neir blood.

Rating: 9.5/10

Skills

The biggest attraction of this pairing is the Critical Skill. With Odo blood the kids will have great Skill and with Critical they don’t have to wait a long time for their weapons to hit 50 kills. Both will also inherit Charge which at least with Lakche will activate often. As previously mentioned Pursuit is irrelevant for Aira’s kids, so his lack of it makes no difference.

Rating: 10/10 (Pursuit + Critical is great on its own, but add in Charge, and you have an excellent combo)

Difficulty to acquire

You have most of Chapter 1 and then the rest of the first generation, so time isn’t a problem. All of Aira’s pairings have a slow growth, but there are no conversations to speed the process up with Noishe. Noishe will be hindered because of Aira’s lower movement, but then again Noishe isn’t the best fighter, so it doesn’t matter too much.

Rating: 7.5/10 (There is a good amount of time to build this, but Noishe is hindered and there are no conversations to speed things up)

Overall

An excellent pairing skill wise. This is somewhat sacrificing Skasaha’s Speed, but the skill combo is so powerful that it is less noticeable.

Rating: 8.5/10

Lex

Skasaha

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	10	0	13	13	9	8	0
Growth rates (%)	135	55	7	65	35	30	60	7
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Awareness, Astral Sword, Elite, Ambush

There actually isn’t a single growth that is lower than Noishe!Skasaha. Skasaha’s Speed is still low, but with much higher Defense thanks to Neir blood. This allows him to take quite a few hits, especially with his somewhat higher HP growth. So far this seems better in almost every way to Noishe, but here’s the negative: no inheritance. The only way Lex can pass down a sword is if he wins the Silver Blade in combat, which isn’t a bad option. Otherwise Skasaha will have an Iron Blade for Chapter 6, which isn’t bad, but it would be nice if he could inherit a used weapon (and therefore have kills on it).

Rating: 8.5/10 (Better than Noishe, but then pulled down because of inheritance)

Lakche

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	30	10	0	13	13	8	7	0
Growth rates (%)	125	50	7	70	40	30	60	7
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Awareness, Astral Sword, Continue (After promotion), Elite, Ambush

In every aspect except Skill she is superior to Noishe!Lakche. Her Skill however is so a high that a minor loss of 5% is insignificant. Although it doesn’t require them to be lovers, a love conversation gives Aira the Hero Sword, which will be inherited to Lakche, making her even more powerful.

Rating: 10/10

Skills

Lex offers two skills: Elite and Ambush. Elite means that the kids can promote sooner, meaning they can get even more powerful. Ambush means that if they are low on HP they will likely kill whatever is about to kill them first. Again, they have Pursuit by default. I’ll rate this slightly lower than Noishe only because their Skill won’t be put to as good of use, and that once they hit level 30, Elite is useless.

Rating: 9.5/10

Difficulty to acquire

This is middle-of-the-road in terms of difficulty. Lex’s love growth is the same as Noishe’s but unlike Noishe there is a conversation that gets them 100 points closer. Also Lex is a much better fighter, meaning he will be hurt much more by having to stay back with Aira.

Rating: 7/10 (Lex is hindered by this)

Overall

Overall this is the same as Noishe, just for different reasons. Lex gives better growths, and arguably the same level of skills, while Noishe gives inheritance and skills that could potentially be better. Noishe takes longer to pair off, while Lex is quicker but is going to be held back a lot more than Noishe would be. I won’t rate this the same, because I’m trying to avoid ties, so I’ll give it a slightly lower rating, because honestly the skills Noishe offers look superior.

Rating: 8/10

Dew

Skasaha

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	27	10	0	14	14	11	8	0
Growth rates (%)	95	55	12	85	55	50	50	12
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Awareness, Astral Sword, Solar Sword, Bargain

This creates a great Skasaha. Skasaha will have the second highest Strength, Skill, Speed (not counting Holsety blood), and Defense. Unfortunately this provides the only HP growth lower than 100 % meaning that HP will be comparatively lower. HP is really the only stat that suffers from this pairing. It barely matters but this is the highest Skasaha’s Magic can get without a mage for a father meaning that he can somewhat use magic swords. Inheritance is not a problem because after promotion Dew can use any sword, and can pass them down to Skasaha. This is actually superior to Lex because the Defense difference is minor compared to the vastly superior Speed and Skill, and tied Strength.

Rating: 9.5/10 (-.5 for less than 100% HP growth)

Lakche

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	28	10	0	14	14	10	7	0
Growth rates (%)	95	50	10	80	50	40	40	10
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Continue (After promotion), Awareness, Astral Sword, Solar Sword, Bargain

In Lakche’s case differences that apply between Lex!Skasaha and Dew!Skasaha also apply between Lex!Lakche and Dew!Lakche. The only difference is that the Defense difference is much larger meaning that her durability will be significantly less.

Rating: 9.5/10 (She’ll be much more dodgy which makes up for the loss of Defense, but still there is less than 100% for HP growth)

Skills

Swords are not too expensive to repair so the Bargain doesn’t matter too much. On the other hand Aira’s children can make full use out of Dew’s Solar Sword skill. Being able to heal HP equal to damage dealt is very nice, and activates often with their high Skill growth. You could look at the fact that Solar and Star Sword can’t activate simultaneously as a negative, but really either one will be helpful.

Rating: 10/10 (Definitely can utilize Solar Sword better than any other children)

Difficulty to acquire

They have no base love points, an average growth, and no conversations to speed it up. Before Dew promotes their movement range is identical meaning keeping the two together won’t be hard, although Dew isn’t the frontline fighter that Aira is. After promoting Dew can hold his own in battle, but he’ll have on more movement range than Aira slightly holding him back. At some point both of them are going to be inhibited, but it won’t be too hard.

Rating: 4/10

Overall

Overall this is better than Lex and therefore Noishe. It allows full inheritance for Skasaha an arguably equal level of skills, and a Skasaha and Lakche that is superior to Lex’s kids. Elite is nice, but it is only useful until level 30, while Solar Sword will always be useful.

Rating: 9/10

Jamka

Skasaha

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	11	0	12	13	9	7	0
Growth rates (%)	135	65	2	55	45	50	40	7
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Awareness, Astral Sword, Charge, Continue

This pairing gives the second highest possible HP, highest Strength, lowest Skill (although thanks to Odo blood it is still high), tied with many for second highest Speed (third counting Levin), and tied with many as either the third best Defense or the second worst (depending on perspective). That sums up the statistics quite nicely. As far as stats go, this gives a very nice statistical spread that is in many ways superior to Noishe and Lex while inferior to Dew.

Rating: 9/10

Lakche

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	30	10	0	13	14	9	7	0
Growth rates (%)	115	55	5	65	45	40	35	7
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Awareness, Astral Sword, Charge, Continue

For Lakche this provides the highest Strength growth, lowest Skill (but again still high), third highest Speed, second highest Luck, and third highest Defense. This significantly increases the damage she can deal, and thanks to the high Luck, dodge. Like with Skasaha it is superior to Noishe and Lex but inferior to Dew.

Rating: 9/10

Skills

This creates a fun set of skills. The kids will have Pursuit, Charge, and Continue, all of the multi-hitting skills in the game. This could potentially lead to almost always killing in one battle, and these skills will activate often with their high Speed. Lakche may get Continue after promoting, but Skasaha will not and this will greatly help his usefulness in battle.

Rating: 10/10

Difficulty to acquire

This is not too bad. There are no conversations to speed it up, but they have the same movement range and Jamka can stay behind Aira to blast enemies from afar, while she attacks up close. Neither are going to be hindered by this, before or after promoting.

Rating: 8/10

Overall

Overall this pairing is similar to Dew. The skillset is likely better, but Dew gives slightly higher growths. I’ll give this pairing a lower grade though since stats are more important.

Rating: 8.5/10

Holyn

Skasaha

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword *			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	10	0	14	13	7	8	0
Growth rates (%)	155	45	7	125	45	30	40	7
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Awareness, Astral Sword, Lunar Sword

This turns Skasaha into a better Holyn. They have the same class so they perform quite similarly. This is the highest HP growth that Skasaha can get, and his Strength isn’t bad at all. Thanks to major Odo blood his Skill growth will be the highest at over 100%. He has the second worst Speed (although many other versions of Skasaha tie with Holyn!Skasaha, while few beat him), not so great Luck and average Defense. He’ll be a great powerhouse, and if he gets 50 kills on a weapon, he’ll be critical hitting a lot because of his massive Skill. He’ll be taking hits somewhat often with his low Luck and moderate Speed, and although his HP is high, he doesn’t have too much Defense. Unfortunately this pairing’s specialty (HP and Skill) is never bad on other pairings so it is in some ways redundant. Inheritance isn’t a problem as any sword Holyn can use, Skasaha can use, which redeems this pairing.

Rating: 7/10 (Bonus for inheritance)

Lakche

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword *			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	10	0	14	14	8	7	0
Growth rates (%)	135	45	7	115	45	30	35	7
Skills	Pursuit (Class skill), Continue (After promotion), Awareness, Astral Sword, Lunar Sword

Unlike with Skasaha only two pairings give better Defense, so her durability doesn’t suffer as much and the HP gap is much larger. She’ll be quite durable, and she can dodge often, although her Luck still isn’t great. Her Strength is comparatively lower, so she won’t be as powerful, although she can still deal some good damage. Like with Lex this gives Aira the Hero Sword, which is nice, but since they don’t need to be lovers, will not be taken into account.

Rating: 7.5/10

Skills

The only skill Holyn passes down is Lunar Sword, which pierces Defense. Unfortunately, it activates just as often as Star Sword and either one is pretty much a guaranteed instant kill. On top of that they can’t activate at the same time, meaning it’s somewhat useless. The only time that a Lunar Sword is better is on high Defense enemies, but taking them down should be up to mages, not Swordfighters. It’s nice, but there are better options.

Rating: 7.5/10

Difficulty to acquire

There is a conversation that grants Aira and Holyn 100 points, which already helps. They have the usual (for Aira) love growth, but there job in battle is exactly the same, meaning keeping the two together should never be a problem. This is easy to accomplish.

Rating: 10/10

Overall

This is kind of pointless. The stats that Skasaha will excel in don’t suffer with other pairings, while Lakche’s power will suffer. The skillset offered is nice, but again there are better options. However, inheritance for Skasaha is great, as is the easiness to pair the two together.

Rating: 7.5/10
