Hauteclere



Hauteclere (オートクレール, Ōtokurēru) is a special weapon of the Axe variety. It is the signature weapon of the stern and proud princess of the Kingdom of Macedon Minerva.

Hauteclere is unlocked along with Minerva after purchasing either the Season Pass or the Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon DLC Pack.

=History= In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and New Mystery of the Emblem, Hauteclere is an a high-powered if fragile Rank A axe weapon that alternatively can heal Minerva. As this weapon is locked to Minerva, she automatically comes with Hauteclere after recruiting her in both the Archnean games' remakes.

While Hauteclere can be used by Minerva when she appears in Fire Emblem Awakening DLC, if she is recruited, she oddly loses it, thus the player is forced to look elsewhere to obtain a Hauteclere.

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

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


 * To obtain the Hauteclere's Scroll, which is needed for Minerva's Mastery Crest, the player must first get a S-rank Clear on the Lv. 63 Timed Attack battle in Princess Minerva. After creating Hauteclere's Mastery Crest, the True Power weapon attribute will be unlocked after 10,000 kills, negating any Might reduction from the player putting a foreign slayer-type weapon attribute via reforging.
 * To obtain the Hauteclere's Opus, which is needed for Minerva's Sanctuary Crest, the player must clear the History Mode map Princess Minerva, as it is offered as a S-Rank clear prize for one of the Distortion Battles on said map. After creating Minerva's Sanctuary Crest, the Divine Favor weapon attribute will overwrite the True Power attribute, even if the eighth slot is not yet unlocked for Hauteclere.
