''The Binding Blade'' further introduced support conversations, dialogues between two characters that are viewed when unlocking new levels of support.
''The Binding Blade'' further introduced support conversations, dialogues between two characters that are viewed when unlocking new levels of support.


Generally, a unit can only provide or build support to a predetermined set of other units. Games with support conversations tend to feature a support list, where a player can see who a unit can support or re-view an unlocked support.

In ''The Binding Blade'', {{title|The Blazing Blade}}, and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, supports are ranked, two-way, and active when units are within three spaces of each other. In each of the GBA games, a unit can have up to 5&nbsp;levels of support (e.g. Roy can have an A&nbsp;support with [[Lilina]] and a B&nbsp;support with [[Wolt]], or C&nbsp;supports with Lilina, Wolt, [[Sophia]], [[Shanna]], and [[Alen]]). In ''Radiant Dawn'', a unit can have only a single support partner, but can support any other unit present. The bonuses from a support are determined by summing the bonuses from the two units' affinities per level of support, rounded down as relevant.

In the GBA games, points toward unlocking the next level of support are earned each turn two units are next to each other; each pair gains a number of points each turn, and has a certain number of points at base. Once the threshold for the next level has been reached, a conversation can be held between the two units, and the next level will be unlocked; points cannot be earned past this level until it has been unlocked. Supports are unlocked through talking on the battlefield; a pair of units can only unlock a single support each map, but a single unit can unlock supports in as many pairs as is feasible.

Supports are unlocked through talking on the battlefield; a pair of units can only unlock a single support on each map (although if they remain next to each other after they unlock a support, they will earn points toward unlocking their next). A single unit can unlock supports in as many pairs as is feasible.
 
Unless the chapter's objective is Survive, the final turn of a chapter does not add support points to any pairs of characters. For example, if Eliwood and Marcus spend every turn of [[Taking Leave|Chapter&nbsp;11E]] of ''The Blazing Blade'' together, and Eliwood seizes the gate on turn 8, they will have a total of 39 support points as of the end of the chapter: their initial 25, plus 2 per turn for 7 turns. This will be the case whether or not Marcus is next to Eliwood at the end of turn 8.
 
Supports do not apply in Lyn's Tale in ''The Blazing Blade''.

Supports in {{title|Shadows of Valentia}} are ranked, but some pairs provide bonuses innately—essentially, a "rank&nbsp;0". The bonuses a unit receives depends on the supporting unit in the pair—a unit typically gives the same or similar bonuses to every unit they support, but does not do so necessarily; e.g. [[Celica]] boosts most of her partners' avoid and critical avoid, but boosts [[Mae]]'s and [[Atlas]]'s differently than [[Nomah]]'s and [[Conrad]]'s, and instead boosts [[Alm]]'s critical hit rate and critical avoid. Supports activate when two units are within three tiles of each other. When units are receiving support, small portraits appear next to the unit in the [[combat forecast]].

Outside of battle, support makes units easier to recruit in [[Garreg Mach Monastery]] during Part&nbsp;I. Higher support levels of support between Byleth and another unit reduce the statistic and [[skill level]] requirements to recruit that unit; the statistic requirements are typically reduced by a fifth of the original requirement (e.g. 25 at no support to 20 at C), and the skill level by one level (e.g. C+ at no support to D at C&nbsp;support). Unlike with Linked Attacks, the +&nbsp;supports affect support requirements as much as non-+ supports do. In addition to reducing the requirements to recruit a unit, after unlocking a unit's B&nbsp;support with Byleth, that unit may randomly request to join Byleth's class without Byleth meeting their recruitment requirements. Furthermore, unlocking their A&nbsp;support with Byleth completely reduces that unit's recruitment requirements—i.e. they can be recruited regardless of Byleth's stats or skill levels; however, no recruitable unit can unlock their A&nbsp;support with Byleth until Part&nbsp;II when they can no longer be recruited, rendering this only applicable in New Game&nbsp;+.

Like ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia'', some supports require certain story progress to unlock; additionally, some supports may be permanently locked after certain story progress—e.g. none of Byleth's supports with [[Rhea]] can be unlocked after Part&nbsp;I. Furthermore, some supports can only be unlocked on certain routes, such as [[Ingrid]] and [[Seteth]]'s A+&nbsp;support, which can only be unlocked on the Azure Moon route.
===''Engage''===
Supports in {{title|Engage}} are ranked, one-way, and active when units are adjacent to each other. Similar to ''Three Houses'', S supports are featured, but can only be unlocked by a single unit—[[Alear]]—and they can only be unlocked by using the [[Pact Ring]] item. The bonuses a unit receives depends on the supporting unit in the pair—a unit always gives the same bonuses to every unit they support. Units will give support bonuses from one of six different sets.
Like the previous games, support points in ''Engage'' are earned based on certain actions.

Support points gained from battle are rounded to +3 for the two pairs who gained the most support points, +2 for the three pairs who gained the second most, and +1 for all other pairs that gained support points together. For example, if the highest pair gained +5 points, it would be rounded down to +3, while if they only gained +1, it would be rounded up to +3.<ref name="fe17"/>
When dining in Café Terrace on the [[Somniel]], points are earned between Alear and the two units invited to the meal.

Once enough points have been earned, two units may talk to increase their support level; the points required to unlock a support vary by pair. Points cannot be earned past a support that has not been unlocked, and some supports require certain story progress in order to be unlocked.

Ally Support is a ranked support system found in {{FEH}}. The player can pick any two units they have to be support partners. Each unit can only have one partner at a given time. The player can change a unit's partner, but it will remove the support between them and their previous partner. The support rank can be increased by having the two supporting units fight on maps against enemies that are [[level]] 35 or higher. Upon gaining a support rank, an animation will playing showing that their relationship has improved. The bonuses are as followed:

The ranked support mechanic appears in {{FEWA2}}. Similar to the system in ''Three Houses'', supports can max out at any of the C, B, and A-ranks. However not all support levels will yield a conversation; those that do will have three dots above the letter. Some support conversations are locked until reaching specific chapters or events within the game, while others can be missed if unlocked too late. Some conversations are route specific and cannot be viewed on certain paths even if both characters are recruited. Despite this, support points can continue to grow between characters even if the requirements for reading the conversations are not met. When starting a [[New Game&nbsp;+]], the player will be asked if they want to keep their supports or reset all of them; the former option makes it easier to unlock previously missed support conversations.
