Pair Up is a mechanic that was introduced in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Awakening}}'', presented in that game as having been invented by Robin themself based on an an impromptu rescue of Chrom by {{s|fireemblemwiki|Sumia}}. When Paired Up, two units act as a single force upon the battlefield, conveying significant advantages: the lead unit of the Pair Up pair receives boosts to their combat stats from the supporting unit, based on the supporting unit's own stats and class; and the support unit has a chance to actively assist the lead unit combat by following up their attacks with a strike of their own (a Dual Strike) or blocking an incoming enemy attack entirely (a Dual Guard). The Final Smash depicts a series of Dual Strikes.
