Lachesis

Son: Delmud
Daughter: Nanna

These are the males that will be graded: Lex, Azel, Fin, Beowulf, Claude

Lex

Delmud

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	32	12	0	8	9	10	10	0
Growth rates (%)	130	80	7	25	30	40	60	10
Skills	Charisma, Continue (After promoting), Elite, Ambush

His HP is tied with many for the best, his Strength is tied with many for second best, Skill is the second worst, Speed is the worst, and Luck is the worst. His Defense however is the highest. Skill isn’t a huge problem because he gets 9 more on promotion, but getting there is a problem. He’ll be durable with a high HP and Defense growth, but will not dodge well, and until promotion will have trouble hitting. Lex can’t pass down anything, so until Delmud can buy something, he’ll be stuck with an Iron Sword, severely hurting his combat ability.

Rating: 2/10

Nanna

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	8	3	8	9	11	7	4
Growth rates (%)	115	70	7	20	30	50	60	12
Skills	Charisma, Elite, Ambush

Same weaknesses and strengths as Delmud, except there is a pairing that gives more HP. Her Magic will be very bad (although that is common to Nanna) meaning she’ll barely be able to heal. She can take a couple of hits, but she’s probably better off trying to dodge with other pairings.

Rating: 2/10

Skills

Lachesis passes down Charisma which makes the kids by default nice to have around. I can’t rank that though because every Delmud and Nanna will have it. Lex will pass down Elite and Ambush. Elite will certainly help Delmud reach promotion so he can up his Skill, while Nanna can level faster. Ambush is a nice bonus, and they will reach low HP, so it helps. Unfortunately there’s no Pursuit involved, and although Delmud gets Continue on promotion, he won’t be able to kill reliably.

Rating: 6/10

Difficulty to acquire

Lachesis starts off with a measly 6 move, while Lex is off charging into battle. They have an average (for Lachesis) growth meaning it will take a while before they’re lovers. Lex will be severely hindered, and by the time Lachesis promotes to 9 move, it won’t matter because they’ll likely be paired already. There are also no conversations to speed things along.

Rating: 1/10 (I’m giving a 1 instead of a 0 because Fin is even harder)

Overall

Overall a rather lousy pairing. It gives the kids good Defense and HP, but it sacrifices so much more. Without Pursuit not much damage will be done, and it is not easy to get the two together.

Rating: 3/10 (Defense is nice as is Elite, but there isn’t much else to say)

Azel

Delmud

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	31	10	3	8	11	9	8	1
Growth rates (%)	110	50	42	25	60	40	30	15
Skills	Charisma, Continue (After promoting), Pursuit

This is similar to what happens with Aideen, although much better. Delmud will still have a decent Strength growth (although comparatively low) thanks to Hezul blood, and with the Magic boost, he can deal competent damage with a magic sword. His Skill will be as bad as with Lex, but Speed will be so much better to the point that it’s second only to Levin. Luck is higher, although still low, and Defense will be the worst possible. With Aideen pairing her with Azel traded Lester for Lana, but here Delmud doesn’t suffer nearly as much as Lester did, thanks to magic swords. This means that Delmud can deal competent two range damage with a sword, something not many others can do. On top of that, once Azel promotes, he can use up to B rank swords, allowing some inheritance. Unfortunately this means blades can’t be inherited, but magic swords can. While this seems great, unfortunately, he only has a maximum Magic stat of 15, severely limiting the damage he can do with magic swords.

Rating: 6.5/10

For Nanna

	Initial weapon rank			Max weapon rank
	Sword +1			{{{weapon2}}}
	HP	Str	Mag	Skl	Spd	Lck	Def	Mdf
Base stats	30	7	4	8	9	11	5	4
Growth rates (%)	105	55	40	20	45	50	30	15
Skills	Charisma, Pursuit

This is great for Nanna. Her HP will be low, but not as low as many others, her Strength will still be decent, but her Magic is what is truly great. She’ll have the highest possible Magic growth meaning she can reliably heal on a horse. Her Skill will be average, her Speed will be second best, while her Luck (comparatively) and Defense will be bad. She can dodge reliably, and heal from horseback, which alone is great. This makes her excellent because she can fight with a magic sword, and heal, which is a huge benefit.

Rating: 10/10

Skills

Azel gives Pursuit which is the most important skill in the game. With their balanced Strength and Magic growth, the kids can reliably kill with Pursuit. The only complaint is that other pairings give pursuit and more.

Rating: 8/10

Difficulty to acquire

An average love growth with no conversations. The good news is that both parents have the same move, and once they both promote they will have the same move again. Given that Azel will be attacking from afar, while Lachesis is either attacking up close or healing, keeping the two together won’t be a problem. Azel will probably promote slightly sooner than Lachesis, but he can attack than move back to her side. Once they both promote keeping the two together won’t be a problem, although by that point they are likely together.

Rating: 9/10

Overall

Overall this is great. It greatly helps Nanna without hurting Delmud. Thanks to magic sword access neither child will have any problems fighting, and with Pursuit, killing. This isn’t a hard pairing to acquire either so there’s not much to complain about.
