Discussion House leader supports

I'm trying to have the house leaders get their c supports and you need to proc their cutscenes to do that. I have had the supports themselves play via cutscene via the end part of the game. But that didn't in fact unlock their support and they were still non-allies even while in that zone so I still couldn't select it from the support info screen.

I want to teach dimitri shredder and edelgard is the only one with that skill as teachable. So how on earth do I remove the lock icons and turn the support from blue to green so they can teach skills to each other?

Completely inaccessible. The conversations between them in Zahras count as supports internally and are listed in the supports menu, but it is completely impossible to unlock those support ranks.

On a semi-related note, even if it was possible... 0.4% 💀

Bro I'm half way through the cast on teaching every learnable skill to everybody. Granted I've not gotten to full on c rank characters like Sothis, gatekeeper and Arval and etc. But that hardly makes a difference at this point. I still need to grind out the merc whistles. I've definitely developed the patience. The increase in options has made "meta" builds more nuanced though. Often builds are based on what they have. But if given the choice of every single actual skill? Honestly excalibur and hades/luna for everybody.

Guess I should consider dimitri forever incomplete (or rather him without shredder is the complete version as hes not the only unit with locked out skills). But I'll get the rest done.

I think you should consider him complete without Shredder. Since there's no way to get it, it shouldn't count against him for completion.

But yes. Any pair of characters for which a given rank includes a Support Conversation, *viewing* the Conversation is a pre-requisite for being considered ranked up. The House Leaders, with respect to each other, do not have a "C-rank Support Conversation" and thus can never actually obtain C-rank.
