Facinna

**Facinna** (エリクシアン, *Erikushian*) is a special weapon of the Sword variety, with an inherit Beastslayer attribute. It is the signature weapon of the Aytolis twins Rowan and Lianna, though thematically ties more to Lianna. It has a sister blade in Enliron.

Facinna, as well as Enliron, is unlocked after clearing Chapter 15.

## History

Facinna and Enliron were created by the Divine Dragon of Aytolis's sharpest fangs, made so after the Divine Dragon fought off the Chaos Dragon Velezark, but had died afterwards from the mortal wounds Velezark had inflicted.

Since that fateful battle, Facinna and Enliron were kept within a stone pedestal in an x-shaped position blade first atop the highest point of the World Tree, the Divine Dragon's home, waiting for their chosen wielders to come and take the swords. Gharnef had tried to take the power of the Divine Dragon for himself, but was foiled and driven away by the Aytolisian army, they seeking a power to liberate their captured ally Darios, who was captured when the Aytolisian army tried to take a fort in Grisstonian territory. With the swords in hand, they liberated Darios and managed to finally complete the Shield of Flames, as it and Darios were captured before the final Gleamstone within Marth could surface and complete it. When the Shield of Flames completed, Darios then betrayed everyone and fell into Velezark's control, taking the Shield of Flames for himself.

When the Aytolisian army arrived to take back the castle of Aytolis, Darios had revealed that Rowan and Lianna's mother Yelena was alive, but only long enough to complete a ceremony to revive Velezark to his full might, forcing the twins to fight their way to Darios and eventually bested him. He then threaten Yelena would be killed if the twins didn't surrender Enliron and Facinna to him. Once he pinned the swords underfoot, he tried to kill Yelena anyway, only for Takumi to attack Darios midswing, with the twins swiftly acting, with Lianna sheathing Facinna to rush to her mother's side.

# Gameplay

As a weapon with six available slots, Facinna allows an amount of flexibility with what weapon attributes to forge into the sword. However, with a natural Beastslayer slot for its seventh slot, Facinna forces players to forge only one foreign slayer-type weapon attribute to the sword.

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

* To obtain Facinna's Scroll, which is needed for Lianna's Mastery Crest, the player must first clear Story Mode, then the History Mode map Together to the End, as it is offered as a S-Rank Clear prize for one of the Distortion Battles on said map. After creating Lianna'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 Facinna's Opus, which is needed for Lianna's Sanctuary Crest, the player must first purchase either the Season Pass or the Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon DLC pack, then 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 Lianna's Sanctuary Crest, the Divine Favor weapon attribute will overwrite the True Power attribute, even if True Power is not yet unlocked for Facinna.

## Trivia

* Facinna, along with Enliron and Blessed Lance, are the only weapons in the game that naturally have Beastslayer.
