Aira
Son: Skasaha
Daughter: Lakche
These are the males that will be graded: Noishe, Lex, Dew, Jamka, Holyn
Noishe
Skasaha
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
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
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
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
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
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
