With the Fire Emblem Fates trilogy being released internationally not too long ago, I
decided to show some appreciation for the Fire Emblem games by aiding people in the

seemingly complex system introduced in Fire Emblem Awakening: Marriage and
Children.

This guide will cover which father is best for each child (in terms of skills they can pass
down) in Fire Emblem Awakening, the best skills for them, and the best class to stick


them in once they have all the skills they need. as a bonus, I'll add the best skills for your
unit, the Tactician, at the end of the guide. Without further ado, let's begin!
To begin, let's cover our favorite princess:


Marth! er... i mean, Lucina!


Lucina is the daughter of Chrom and whichever girl wins the heart of Chrom before the
end of Chapter 11 in the game's story. The question is, which possible mother is the best
for Lucina? the answer is Olivia! but, how do you get Chrom to marry her if she joins
right at the start of the battle in Chapter 11? it's actually quite simple: have Chrom avoid
all interaction with women up until Chapter 11. then move him and Olivia up to a corner
in the map and have Olivia twerk for Chrom every turn, and yes, i mean every turn. don't
save after the battle if you're not sure you successfully got those two together. you'll find
out in the cutscene afterwards.
With that aside, let's move on to Skills to inherit. Chrom will ALWAYS pass down the
skill Aether to his daughters regardless of whether or not he has learned it. the same is
true for the skill Rightful King with his sons. because of this, there's no need to worry
about grinding for skills with Chrom.
Olivia on the other hand should pass down Galeforce (learned at Level 15 in Dark Flier
class), and she MUST learn it BEFORE Chapter 13! This is where the Bonus Teams in
the Bonus Box come in handy for grinding. it's a little exhausting, but is well worth the

trouble.
Now, what skills should Lucina have by the time we're done grinding for skills? here's
what she should have:
Aether from Chrom
Galeforce from Olivia
Rightful King (Lv.15 Great Lord
Vantage (Lv.10 Myrmidon)
Swordfaire (Lv.15 Swordmaster)
Once you get all of these skills, stick her back in the Great Lord class, as it is the best
class available to her.
Because Olivia has a child of her own, he is already covered in terms of which parents
he should have and which skills he should inherit. Olivia's son is none other than the
world famous casanova...



Inigo!
Inigo is a very powerful character to begin with and is only even more powerful with
Chrom as his father. the skills he should have are:
Rightful King from Chrom
Galeforce from Olivia
Sol (Lv.5 Hero)
Vantage (Lv.10 Myrmidon)
Swordfaire (Lv.15 Swordmaster)
His best end class is the Hero class
Next up is...


THE GREAT HERO OWAIN!!!
Sure, he starts off pretty wimpy for a child unit, but after awhile, he really starts to shine!

He is the son of Lissa, and his best father is without a doubt Gaius.


Lissa should pass down Galeforce (Lv.15 Dark Flier) and Gaius should pass down
Counter (Lv15 Warrior)
The skills he should learn are:
Galeforce from Lissa
Counter from Gaius
Vantage (Lv.10 Myrmidon)
Astra (Lv.5 Swordmaster)
Swordfaire (Lv.15 Swordmaster)
The best part about him is that you don't have to reclass him for him to be the best he can
be, which is pretty dang powerful.
Next up is our armor obsessed girl...



Kjelle!
Kjelle is designed to be a tank, through and through. so what better father for her than
the uber bulky Kellam? chances are, Sully and Kellam will be your first happily married
couple in your playthroughs anyway.
Sully should pass down Aegis, and Kellam should pass down either Luna (Lv.5 Great
Knight) or Pavise (Lv.15 General). the skill Kellam should pass down is up to how much
effort you're willing to put into him.
Kjelle's skillset should have:
Aegis from Sully
Luna (Lv.5 Great Knight) or from Kellam
Pavise (Lv.15 General) or from Kellam
Miracle (Lv.1 Cleric)
Renewal (Lv.15 War Cleric)

Her final class should either be Great Knight or General, depending on which skill you
had Kellam pass down.
Next up is our favorite bunny


Yarne!
Yarne's a tough one to snag due to his Paralogue map having such a great number of
enemies. however, he's well worth the trouble. Panne should get with Stahl for this
bunny boy to really shine.
Panne should pass down Lancebreaker (Lv.15 Griffon Rider) so Yarne isn't helpless to
those nasty Beast Killer lances. Stahl should pass down Astra, since Yarne makes
excellent use of it.
Yarne's skills should have:
Lancebreaker from Panne


Astra from Stahl
Counter (Lv.15 Warrior)
Lethality (Lv.5 Assassin)
Pass (Lv.15 Assassin)
Yarne's end class should be Assassin. his high speed will let him avoid most attacks.
Next up is our brooding Batman-wannabe with his faithful sidekick Minervykins



of course I'm talking about Gerome.
Gerome's Paralogue doesn't let him shine very well due to the sheer number of archers.
that's why his best father his Virion, the archest of archers.
Cherche should pass down Renewal (Lv.15 War Cleric) and Virion should pass down
Bowbreaker (Lv.15 Bow Knight) to help Gerome stand a chance in bow-infested

battlefields.
Gerome should learn these skills:
Renewal from Cherche
Bowbreaker from Virion
Counter (Lv.15 Warrior)
Quick Burn (Lv.5 Wyvern Lord)
Swordbreaker (Lv15. Wyvern Lord)
his end class should be Wyvern Lord. he needs his precious Minervykins. :3
Now it's time for our angry little tsundere...


Severa!
Her Paralogue is perilous as she won't join you until she's talked to the villager unit
named Holland. this means if she's knocked down before then, she's gone for good.
Her best father is the women-fearing Swordsman, Lon'qu.


Lon'qu should pass down Quick Burn (Lv. 5 Wyvern Lord) and Cordelia should pass
down Galeforce (Lv.15 Dark Flier)
Evera's skills should be like so:
Quick Burn from Lon'qu
Galeforce from Cordelia
Sol (Lv.5 Hero)
Vantage (Lv.10 Myrmidon)
Swordfaire (Lv.15 Swordmaster)
Her end class should be Hero, like our beloved Inigo.
Next is our precious dragon baby

Nah!
Nah is a terrifying force on the battlefield when trained correctly. She very quickly
becomes a terror when her father is none other than Donnel.
Donnel should without a doubt pass down his skill Aptitude so Nah's stats grow at a
terrifying rate. Nowi should pass down Lifetaker (Lv.15 Dark Knight) so Nah can stay
healthy.
Nah's final skillset should appear as such:
Lifetaker from Nowi
Sol (Lv.5 Hero)
Galeforce (Lv.15 Dark Flier)
Renewal (Lv.15 War Cleric)
Swordbreaker (Lv.15 Wyvern Lord)
Aptitude's only useful until her stats cap out. so once that happens, she needs to replace
Aptitude with a more useful skill.
Her final class should be Manakete.
Now for our struggling scientist mage



Laurent!
Laurent needs a lot, and i mean a LOT of work to be at his full potential. Ricken is the
best father for him if you want him to be more magically inclined.
Miriel should pass down Renewal (Lv.15 War Cleric) and Ricken should pass down
Lifetaker (Lv.15 Dark Knight)z
Laurnet's skills should have:
Lifetaker from Ricken
Renewal from Miriel
Luna (Lv.5 Great Knight)
Counter (Lv.15 Warrior)
Tomefaire (Lv.15 Sage)

His end class should be either Safe or Dark Knight. the decision is yours, as both are
very useful.
Next is our heroic Pega-pony Princess...


Cynthia!
She's quite a powerful pegasus knight to begin with and only gets stronger with training.
I recommend having Sumia tie the knot with Henry for a diverse skill pool for Cynthia.
Henry should pass down Counter (Lv.15 Warrior), and Sumia should pass down
Renewal (Lv.15 War Cleric).
Cynthia should have these skills:
Counter from Henry
Renewal from Sumia


Lifetaker (Lv.15 Dark Knight)
Galeforce (Lv.15 Dark Flier)
Lancefaire (Lv.15 Falcon Knight)
Cynthia's final class should be Falcon Knight, since you won't be utilizing her magic
through tomes. it's also helpful to have a super mobile healer.
Up next is our grouchy nobleman
