Missiletainn



Missiletainn (ミステルトィン, Misuterutin) is a "special" weapon of the Sword variety. It is the signature weapon of the hammy son of the Shepherds' Cleric Lissa, Owain.

Missiletainn is unlocked after S-Rank Clearing the Lv. 80 Villager Rescue battle in Scion of Legend, a History Mode map from the Awakening DLC Pack.

=History= Missiletainn is merely a poorly treated copy of a legendary, near-identically named sword named Mystletainn (ミストルティン, Misutorutin), a legendary weapon made famous during the years of the Holy War and one of twelve holy weapons made famous during the era. During the height of its power, Mystletainn could only be used by the Crusader Hazul and his bloodline. As of Fire Emblem Awakening, this bloodline was broken by the march of time, and as such, the exclusivity of the weapon was no more.

Owain, having heard legends of this weapon, had decided to find it and claim it for his own when he and the other children of the Shepherds went back in time to assist the Shepherds to avoid Grima's arrival. However, instead of Mystletainn itself, he found a far inferior copy from an NPC, who had apparently used the sword to dig a hole and peel vegetables with it. Mistaking Missiletainn for the true sword Mystletainn, Owain took it for himself, and took it to battle in spite of its flaws. It wasn't until sometime when Owain found his way to the world of Fire Emblem Fates and became Odin that he finally acknowledged Missiletainn was a terrible sword, having noted it "slips out of [his] hand" and "cuts dull as a butter knife".

In battle, Missiletainn would offer +1 to Skill, as well as having an exclusivity to Owain. Compared to the actual Mystletainn, Missiletainn's only true strength is having more and being able to be sold for money, with Missiletain having, a lower Weapon Rank at C to Mystletainn's A, a slightly lower critical hit rate, and.

=Gameplay= As a Rank E weapon, Missiletainn can be wielded by Owain as soon as the player unlocks the sword, and has a decent attack power of 80.

As a weapon with six available slots, Missiletainn allows an amount of flexibility with what weapon attributes to forge into the sword.

As it is a personal weapon, it can be upgraded by creating Owain's Mastery Crest and Sanctuary Crest, drastically increasing the weapon's Might, first to 240, then to 720.


 * To obtain Missiletainn's Scroll, which is needed for Owain's Mastery Crest, the player must S-Rank Clear the titular boss battle in Scion of Legend. After creating Owain's Mastery Crest, the True Power weapon attribute will be unlocked after 10,000 kills, negating any Might penalty reduction from the player putting a foreign slayer-type weapon attribute via reforging.
 * To obtain Missiletainn's Opus, which is needed for Owain's Sanctuary Crest, the player must S-Rank Clear one of the Distortion Battles in Scion of Legend. After creating Owain's Sanctuary Crest, the Divine Favor weapon attribute will overwrite the True Power attribute, even if True Power is not yet unlocked for Missiletainn.

=Trivia=
 * As a nod to how Missiletainn is a bad weapon, Missiletainn's base Might is lower than both Tharja's Hex and Olivia's Blade.
 * Additionally, Missiletainn is not offered as a S-Rank Clear bonus prize.
