Eh, I tend to value Lex x Ayra over Arden x Ayra since Lex actually makes the kids have higher defense than the generation 1's General holy blood is literally OP. And personally I like Azel with Tiltyu since that allows Arthur to be a mobile Magical powerhouse, like his father before him, which is important since you don't exactly have many units in Gen 2 who are mobile and have strong magic stats (I guess there's Magic Sword Miracle Lord Seliph and Ced with the Leg Ring, but that's about it). I'm still not planning on pairing Arden with anyone simply because that would force his lover to dawdle back with him and lose out on a lot of precious xp, but I do want to use him in combat to some extent. The guy may not get laid, but he will be appreciated. 

Well yeah, he's going to be outclassed no matter who you try to give him lol. I was just offering suggestions. Ive actually been doing some odder pairnigs recently, and like half my gen 2 is magical. Light Brand based god Seliph, Azel!Delmud/Nanna are great with magic swords, Claude!Ced/Fee both get his good magic growth for magic swords in Fees case, and his staves get passed down far earlier than waiting for Corple, Lewyn!Arthur/Tinny gives early nukage Forseti and high evade wrath units, and Holyn!Patty has more magic than strength...for some reason.

There are certainly some fun combos to be explored, that's for sure. Lex!Arthur/Tinny gives the infamous Vantage/Wrath combo, Lweyn!Arthur produces what a lot of the more "advanced" FE players refer to as "Horseti" or a secondary win button (after Miracle Lord Seliph) because horses+legendary wind magic is actually absurd. Lester would also be broken if he had access to his cousin's bow. It's especially fun to tinker with inheritance with the rings and certain weapons, so there's always more to test out.
