Supports

**Supports** in Andaron Saga work similar to how they do in the three mainline Game Boy Advance games, where select character combinations can earn up to three support levels with each other, capping at five total support levels per character. However, Andaron Saga's support system also takes heavy inspiration from *Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance*, with characters earning support levels through how many chapters they've been deployed together rather than through turns spent adjacent to one another.

In addition to the usual bonuses based on elemental affinity, unlocking a specific tier of support between two characters can grant to one or both of the character either skills or increases in stats or items. The learned skills and increases in stat are permanent and they remain even if one of the units is lost.
