Fire Emblem Awakening/Supports

When two compatible units are adjacent in battle, they will earn support points. If enough points are gained, they can engage in support conversations which improves teamwork in fights. The higher the support rank, the better the bonus. The support rank order goes like this:

C--B--A--S

With a few exceptions, if compatible units of opposite gender gain an "S" in support ranks, they will marry and have children who are later recruited in side quests called paralogues.

Furthermore, supporting units may sometimes perform an action called a "Dual Strike" where that unit attacks the enemy right after the leading unit. The Dual Strike+ skill can also improve the chance of it. In addition to that, units might also perform a similar action called a "Dual Guard" in which the paired unit will jump in front of the lead unit when an enemy attacks to block it, taking no damage at all. Like Dual Strike+, the Dual Guard+ skill can improve the chance of it happening.

You can earn support points by any of the following ways:

-Stand next to a unit during battle -Pair up with a unit -Stand on Event Tiles while paired up. This is random -Have a conversation in the Barracks. Again, by random chance -Use a Seed of Trust when paired up

Strong bonds can really go a long way in this game, so consider them well!
