This assumes people who have Lyn are pulling colorless gems.
Supports are in! Just as I suspected, it's a system similar to Radiant Dawn's. At S rank, partnered units gain +2 in every stat in battle when they're adjacent, +1 if they're one space away. It looks like supports will affect all copies of the characters involved too, bit a character can't support with themself.
EDIT: WAIFU/HUSBANDO SUPPORTS ARE REAL
You can pick one character to support with Summoner, giving them a permanent +2 boost in every stat when battling.

I hope nobody was expecting support conversations, it apears all you get is a little animation.
Supports are anither example of IS encouraging multiple teams. This time it's pushing specific pairings rather thsn just a deep pool of individuals. First thing I did was support Eirika and Nino. Seemed pretty obvious.

Seems so, nothing in the help info says the boosts don't stack and the game didn't Grey out Eirika as an option.

That's what I figured! It just didn't make sense.
I didn't even think of this. I'm very often running low on storage. I'll do some cleaning and see if it makes a difference. Thanks a lot for the tip!

Summoner support looks simple enough.
Pick one unit that becomes your uber unit. More lvl 35+ they kill the more they bond with you till they get support level ups.

Offensively, it should. I don't expect anything for defence though.
I will sacrifice a sword to greater good.
Edit: It works

Ooh, the background of your supported unit changes when you load up their info.
i wonder if there are different backgrounds for different chars

IntSys continues to give everyone an excuse to use more of their summoned units. 👍🏾
Yes, Wiseblade!

That or a great way to correct a bad IV somewhat. I chose to support Innes (+Atk/-spd). He is going to be a monster when he reaches max support level, and will make a great counter mage pick.
Also since Amelia and Hector have been hip to hip I put them together, and of course the aforementioned Eirika and Nino.
First supports are Ephraim/Tharja (primary arena duo), Lucina/Sharena (initial Arena Assault group), and Y!Tiki/Fae (Arena Assault). Gonna be interesting to see what pairs work best. The support levels resetting seems lame though. Hurts experimentation and another possible source of grinding.

Do the stats/effects stack?

same background
I haven't checked but I assume it is likely, when you go to your character's in-depth portrait info or whatever it's called, it shows who the character has support with and it shows both the summoner and the partner if you did that to one character.

Well, given my current teams, these chars are always together. So these are my first pairings.
Bride Cordelia / Ninian
Ike / Julia
Brave Lyn / Olivia
Now I need to figure out what else to pair up.
edit: Also I realize the support is by individual character. No individual unit. So even if you have 5 Ike's and 5 Julia's, they share supports. But a Brave Ike wouldn't share support that regular Ike has. This means that you can have multiple builds using the same chars but abusing support bonuses.
Say you have 2 regular Ike's with 2 Hector's. You got support for the two. The Ike's and Hector's will get bonuses with each other regardless of different builds.

Beat the Squad Assault on my second try, much easier than last time, but definitely had a couple close calls and some AI manipulation. Easter level ended up being the hardest, my Klein couldn't attack Camilla until I took the other flier down, was like a 20 turn fight haha.
Nino/YTiki/Jaffar/Subaki
MRobin/Maria/Legion/Celica
BLyn/S!Elise/Ike/Olivia
B!Roy/Roy/Klein(4*)/Azura
Rein/Camus/Xander/Titania

Definitely - even if they didn't want to write 170 variants of "I have your back!"/"I'll do my best!", they could have just had the units play some of their regular voice lines (either the petting ones, or to make things simple; their selection lines on maps) while supporting. Hopefully the latter could be added in an update, because it'd involve no new writing or voice work.
Even just a simple "hee-hee~" / "OHO" would make for a more dynamic and endearing exchange.
Wow, "Map: No Animation" and "Auto: No Animation" are great QoL improvements and huge time savers. Check them out, guys. This is the 1.7 addition that I like the most, yes, more than supports.
Btw, do we have confirmation whether supports have effects on defense (both regular arena and AA)? I seriously hope they don't; it is going to be pain in the ass if we are forced to spend time checking defense support every match.

Kinda hard to confirm on defense as not everyone has the patch yet. I'd guess most teams on arena right now are vanilla. Support boosted ones should show up in a day or so and thats when we'll probably find out.
Valter: Entertain Me!
Olivia: S-Sure
Certain line combinations would be hilarious or downright creepy

Tharja gets my summoner support since she's my main combat unit. Also supported Spring Xander with Summer Xander, since I often pair them up in AA. Talk about self-love.
Squad Assault 3 was pretty easy. Took 3 tries, but all my failures were on the first map. Ephraim was way tougher than he had any right to be. 2nd map was harder than it should've been since I brought in Y!Tiki and Fae for some reason, but it worked out. Other maps I easily cleared with Nino Kuni, Darth Tharja, and Ponies.

Can I support everyone?
You can't support with more than one character at a time (+ 1 avatar support), but there are no restrictions on which characters can support with each other.

The era of husbandos has arrived.
That's why it'd be the perfect solution - unintentionally funny or cute inter-character interactions using those soundbites, and then full petting lines played for summoner / character supports.
It's such an easy thing to fix...

Was Team Ike since the beginning, feels good to be able to ride it out with a complete victory.
