Best Emblem Ring Pairings

Emblem	Best Pairing	Reason
Marth	Alear (F)	・Alear's Dragon Unit Type bonuses maximize Divine Speed skill and Lodestar Rush attack Also good with: Kagetsu
Sigurd	Fogado	・Fogado can become a powerful archer unit with the Radiant Bow ・Use Fogado to launch one-hit KO attacks against tough flying enemies like dragons, then Sigurd's Canter to retreat after attacking. Also good with: Louis
Celica	Lindon	・Warp Ragnarok allows these strong immobile units to reposition to more advantageous positions. ・Echo also allows these users to strike more times than they are usually able to. Also good with: Celine and Ivy
Micaiah	Jean	・You get Jean at a low level, so use Micaiah's Great Sacrifice to level him up quickly. ・Jean has excellent stat growth due to Expertise, which is why leveling him up is advantageous. ・Micaiah compliments Jean being geared towards the support role.
Roy	Alfred	・Roy's Advance grants Alfred, a Cavalry unit, even more mobility. ・Roy's Hold Out can make Alfred tank more hits as a frontline unit. ・Roy's inherited skills could buff Alfred's Str and Sword attacks. Also good with: Diamant
Leif	Jade	・Leif's Synchro Skills help frontline units tank more hits. ・Jade gets +5 Defense from Leif's Engage Skill. ・Leif's Bld+ skills could even help get Jade to launch follow-up attack Also good with: Alear, Zelkov (for gold farming only)
Lyn	Alcryst	・Alcryst's decent Speed stat can be boosted by Speedtaker ・Lyn's Alacrity skill can then make Alcryst attack twice before an enemy counterattack. ・Alcryst's bow attacks can get buffed greatly with Lyn's bond effects. Also good with: Kagetsu, Yunaka
Lucina	Lapis	・Synchro Skills makes use of adjacent allies and Chain Attacks, the specialties of the Backup Unit Type ・Lapis can be promoted to Advanced Classes that give her great movement as a Backup.
Ike	Diamant	・Diamant can tank a lot of damage and Ike's Wrath skill can turn the HP lost into Crit stat buffs. ・Ike's Laguz Friend could also make Diamant an unstoppable frontline unit. Also good with: Jade, Louis
Byleth	Hortensia	・As a Flying unit unhindered by terrain, Hortensia's mobility maximizes the support provided by Byleth's skills. Also good with: Chloe, Jean
Corrin	Yunaka	・Yunaka as a covert unit allows her to make her own evasion tile. ・Works excellently with Yunaka's passive to dodge enemy units and unleash critical strikes after critical strikes. Also good with: Hortensia, Veyle
Eirika	Mauvier	・Eirika's Engage Attacks deals +50% with Mauvier's Cavalry typing ・Lunar Brace Synchro Skill makes it less risky for Mauvier to take the frontline/offensive approach. Also good with: Kagetsu, Merrin
DLC Emblems
Edelgard	Ivy	・Bow Guard reduces Ivy's vulnerability to archers ・Moving around unhindered by terrain will help line up the Gambit Synchro Skills better Also good with: Chloe

No Emblem Fits Only One Unit

You're free to experiment with Emblem pairings! There aren't any exactly standout pairings between Emblem and unit, especially given enough class change and the fact that you can inherit Emblem skills and use them without having to equip the Emblem Ring.

Diamant with both Ike's Wrath and Roy's Hold Out as inherited skills is far better than if he were equipped with just 1 Emblem Ring. What's important is to choose a unit already strong from the outset.

Find Synergies With Each Other

Take note of the emblem's capabilities then check your own unit's skills and stats. Which skills can the Emblem do? Does their attack have bonuses with the unit's type? Does the unit's attack allow their engage skill to utilize its full damage? Analyze each unit accordingly and pair them with emblems that can allow them to go further with the emblem's skills.

List of All Skills

Check Stat Bonuses and Stat Specialties

You want to make sure that the emblem alligns with the unit's stat specialties! Does the unit have high armor? Putting emblems that make use of defensive skills such as Ike or Lucina may work wonders for that character or are they a character with low Speed? Having Lyn partner with that unit may allow that unit go from being double attacked to be the one using their own double attacks on the enemy!

Cover Weapon Type Weaknesses

Is your unit struggling to defeat lance users due to being a sword unit? Giving them emblems that allow them to use Axes can allow these units to defeat enemies that counter their own weapon types! Alternatively, you can also add more healers to your party by giving your offensive units an emblem that allows them to use staves and now heal your allies on the frontline.
