Learn how to use the Pairing Up mechanic in fire emblem fates conquest to boost unit stats and gain support bonuses.
Pairing Up is a core mechanic in fire emblem fates conquest that allows two of your units to occupy the same tile on the battlefield. When units are paired, the lead unit is the one that acts, while the secondary unit provides support. This system is crucial for both offensive and defensive strategies.
- Two units must be adjacent to each other on the map.
Walkthrough
- 1Select a unit you wish to move.
- 2Move the cursor over an adjacent allied unit.
- 3Press the 'Pair Up' command. The selected unit will become the secondary unit, and the adjacent unit will become the lead.
- 4Alternatively, you can select a unit and choose the 'Pair Up' command, then select the adjacent ally to pair with.
- 5Once paired, the secondary unit will provide stat bonuses to the lead unit. These bonuses are determined by the secondary unit's stats and their Support level with the lead unit.
- 6The secondary unit can also 'Guard' the lead unit, increasing their Avoid (chance to dodge attacks) and potentially taking a hit for the lead unit if they are attacked.
- 7If the lead unit is attacked and has a secondary unit, the secondary unit has a chance to perform a Dual Strike, which is an extra attack that can deal significant damage.
- 8You can 'Split Up' paired units at any time by selecting the lead unit and choosing the 'Split Up' command.
Tips
- Pair units with high Support levels to maximize stat bonuses and Dual Strike/Guard chances.
- Consider pairing a strong offensive unit with a supportive unit that provides useful stat boosts.
- Use Pairing Up to protect weaker units by having them act as the secondary unit behind a stronger ally.
- Be aware that if the lead unit is defeated, the secondary unit is also removed from the battlefield for that turn.
