Thoughts on the Ignatz pairings? Also, Lysithea found dead in the ditch.
IgnatzThey’re the Dorothea/Ferdinand of the Golden Deer for me honestly
Lorenz/Leonie.
Ignatz/Raphael's sister.
I thought it would be Ignatz and Raphael when I was doing their supports, and was very disappointed when it turned out he'd just gotten with Raphs sister out of nowhere.
I wouldn't say it was out of nowhere. They were talking about her quiet a bit. The picture scene made it very clear, where this support is going. My boy Raphael is just never lucky.
Ignatz/Raphael
fify
Ignatz Has Two Hands
Leonie is way underrated. I love how supportive she is of him.
To me Ignatz being "kidnapped" by a badass mercenary and traveling the world together is a perfect ending to both of them.
Marianne and Ignatz has made me go insane since 3 Houses launch.
Their support conversations are just SO GOOD and they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Their B-Support is to this day my favorite support conversation in any FE game
THIS. I've been yelling about Marianne x Ignatz since the game came out, I'm so so happy it's getting more popular. I'm glad the first time I encountered their support I was by myself, so I felt no shame giggling and kicking my feet at how sweet they are
Lysithea found...what in the what??
Cause she's a grade A asshole to Ignatz in their first 2 supports and never really apologizes for it apologizes in what feels like an incomplete support
She does apologize but the support kind of feels incomplete
Yes she does
This is why I put her with Cyril cause at least she's never an asshole to him.
Yes but she dies due to her shortened lifespan because of her two crests implanted in her. When you pair her with Cyril. I always put her in one of her three pairings where she survives.
But with the power of headcanon, behold: A bappy ending!
Also the whole shortened lifespan thing is vague she says 5 years but she also implies that's what they said after they succeeded in giving her two crests and if so she's already well past her supposed death date.
You do realize she does that to him due to her shortened lifespan as Ignatz is sort of scatterbrained pre-timeskip.
Resident Hilda/Ignatz shipper here. I love them together a lot and I’m surprised it’s not more popular considering the success of animes that follow the extrovert girl/introvert guy dynamic (Dress up darling, uzaki chan, nagatoro, etc)
They have a lot in common too. Both are the younger siblings of brothers who is inheriting the family business/house. The older brothers are held to high esteems leaving Hilda and Ignatz to kind of exist in their shadows. And then they’re both artistic with Hilda making accessories and Ignatz and his art.
Their paired ending is the perfect one for both of them in my eyes as they both achieve their dreams. Hilda opens her artisan academy and Ignatz gets to explore the world AND then he starts working with Hilda at the academy which blossoms into a romance that “birthed a new style that inspired artists in Fodlan for generations”
Overall 10/10 pairing
Ooh, I never thought about them that way. I'll have to make a note to pair them in my next play through!
In an effort to spread more Hilnatz propaganda I’m linking the pixiv of the goat of Hilnatz art
Ironically he has a ton of good ones
I like Petra, Leonie, and Marriane, but the Mercedes one literally made my friend cry
I kind of feel like his paired ending with Byleth is an underrated player character pairing. Throughout their supports, Byleth encourages Ignatz to pursue his artistic hobby, despite his fears of his father finding out, and of that all leads to him giving Byleth a painting of Sothis that she hangs in the reception hall, which is enough to convince his father that he’s better off as an artist. The way he expresses his gratitude and love to Byleth during his proposal is just beautiful (so much so that Christian La Monte admitted in an interview to tearing up while recording it), and it’s definitely one of my favorite S support conversations in the game. Honorable mention to Ignatz x Marianne, who I try to pair him with whenever I don’t S-support him.
Not surprised that everyone likes him. He's in
Finance (if he continues his parent's business)
Trust fund (again, merchant family)
6"-5 hit rate at least 65%
Eye colors doesn't matter
Ignatz being able to pull more bitches than Sylvain is the funniest part of three houses and I will not stop talking about it.
Chadnatz is real
Chadnatz is now canon. 🤣
I find it funny how Lorenz makes a few patronizing remarks in his dialogue with ignatz, when byleth has to chase Lorenz away from unwanting people he keeps trying to make moves on lol.
Marianne and Ignatz are my favorite, I usually always end up pairing them together. Honorable mention for him and Flayn, though. They’re both such dorks and I love that their paired ending is Ignatz making a painting of her that’s regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time.
Mine.
Ignatz is mine.
I've tried marrying other characters before, but I always come back to him.
Thanks for posting this OP. I live Ignatz appreciation!
Him getting Ingrid and Hilda in the long game I thought was an incredibly nice touch. Marianne, Mercedes, and Flayn are each totally wholesome, no complaints. My absolute faves are Leonie, Shamir, and Petra. Each of them bringing him out to see the world is just so perfect to me.
I know Leonie and Shamir aren’t stated as romantic, but you cannot tell me that over the course of their travels, something never sparks up between them. My headcannon is that both of them gradually fall deeply in love while he paints all of the beautiful landscapes they visit, so romantic.
Marianne's B support with him is so ship-baity that I'm surprised there aren't more people shipping them
I like Ignatz x Ingrid. I like how he supports her goals to be a knight and she supports his art. They are also both very devoted to the church of Seiros
this is my fave pairing for both of them!
I like him with Petra, Ingrid, or Mercedes.
They’re good, but honestly for the most part the women, IMO, have better supports/endings with others than with him, besides Raphael
Ignatz/Shamir
I know I'm in the minority.
Him and Ashe pull the baddest ladies for being a nice and thoughtful dude. Ignatz and Marianne is his perfect match but I typically let the supports generated throughout the playthru to decide it
Personally I like him and Flayn cause girl can not stop herself from slipping up in front of him. Ignatz would show her the painting of Saint Cethleann he made and she'd full on go "wow you really captured my likeness" and he just doesn't get it.
Why is Raphael not in there?
C'mon, man. Lysithea comes around with how she treated Ignatz.
They don’t end up together though in their paired ending tbf
WHAT?! Even after that A support?!
Boo!
Ignatz and Raphael
Ignatz/Marriane still the best ship in the game. That B support is peak.
Marianne/Ignatz by far! I like the supports and think the ending is super sweet but I also always try to make sure the girls inherit and lead their houses if they are the heir, like Marianne, Ingrid, and Petra. Lysithea is always paired with Linhardt so she survives. Once in a while I play a version where I purposely pick the other endings that dissolve as much of the nobility as possible or the nobles abdicate, and where the nobility still exists, I marry the nobles to commoners, like Hapi/Dimitri, Edelgard/Dorothea, and Claude/Leonie.
Doesn't Flayn ghost him for years?
She overslept
Can't decide a pairing for Ignatz between Leonie or Marianne.
I can't remember if it's with Raphael, or on his own, but I like the ending that allows him to be with Raphael's sister. I think that's cute. But for main characters I like flayn x ignatz
I was ardent on him with Marianne after that B support, but the A support disappointed me, and I switched her out for Leonie. I think they're cute together, and Marianne can have Lorenz, since she's one of the few women he seems to be decent about.
Surprisingly the straightest male student in the game I’d say
Did Lysithea x Ignatz on my first run of Blue Lions, even though I don’t ship…the end got me pretty emotional.
She supported him and he made a painting of the goddess using her face as a reference which was super sweet.
Ignatz is the kind of dude that works with most of the females and completely get the why. - Personally favourites for me would Ingrid, Flayn, Leonie and Petra.
I typically put Petra with Dorothea but occasionally I’ll set her up with Ignatz- he’s usually with Marianne in my playthroughs. They give me the vibe that Byleth just sat the two quiet kids together in class & now they have grandchildren
I honestly like Lysithea’s supports with Ignatz
I usually pair him with the bench
Boooooo
I never understood why no one used him when the game first came out. He was destroying everything in his path as a mortal Savant in my GD run. it was my first run of the game though
His and one of the blue lions (Ashe I think?) just never appealed to me. Nothing to do with performance in combat, but from the few supports I've seen and other dialogue, just meh. Only so many deployment slots, and with such a large starting crew someone's gonna be benched. Sometimes even liked characters (but I still get around to their supports and usually have them as adjutants. not those 2).
They aren't the only 2 I don't really care for, they're just at the front of characters that I couldn't care less about. A worse sin than being on the dislike list.
FByleth was a very nice pair, I sorta did it accident-ish because I didn't love the GD boys. But I thought they worked really wel
Raphael
Iggy got game.
Dude is basically Hawkeye in 3H
I feel so bad about Ignatz. On my first playthrough I didn't really understand how rewinding worked and had permadeath on. I think he died within the first 3 or 4 battles lmao. I've always intended to redo Yellow Deer again and actually build him up as a unit.
It may be only me, but I dont pair any characters romantically other than Byleth and another char. 😅
His support with Marianne is so cute. Simple, but effective.
Rizznatz
Bernadette the only two artists
Unless he's into dude, than Lorenz
I used to ship Ignatz/Lorenz until I became a Claude/Lorenz/Hilda truther
Take 3 of those out as 3 of them aren’t romantic paired endings. He doesn’t get romantically involved with Flayn, Leonie and Shamir just like how he doesn’t get with Lysithea
Rizznatz. Jokes aside he has a lot of good supports. His Marianne and Leonie support chains especially were good.
Ignatz and NOBODY! That’s the ship. All these waifus just fit better with other units.
Shamir- M!Byleth
Marianne- Dimitri
Leonie- Lorenz
Ingrid- Raphael
Mercedes- Dedue
Petra- Dorothea
Hilda- also M!Byleth
F!Byleth- Seteth
Flayne… well you got me with flayne but I ain’t shipping her with anyone. The point Ignatz stays forever alone.
Get his NERD ASS away from Petra
Hate them all as I hate Ignatz.

His ending with Marianne is very romantic, they have a love so epic that it inspires several plays.
