Museum Melee

Museum Melee (Duelist Museum in the Japanese version) is Xenologue 5 of Fire Emblem Fates. This Xenologue serves players by giving them weapons from defeating opponents.

Synopsis
Jakob/Felicia takes the Avatar to an Interrealm Museum where they have heard of a "special" event taking place. They see that this is a popular event, as they have never seen so much people going around. The curator arrives and explains the event to the Avatar, and that it involves fighting, although they can cover the damage and medical costs.

After the battle, the curator tells the Avatar that the people they fought have come from other realms which have already gained peace, so they have come to give away their weapons to those who are attempting to bring peace to their realms. The Avatar is surprised by the turn of events and Jakob/Felicia will apologize to the Avatar, not knowing why the event was popular. Regardless, the Avatar realizes the true meaning of the event. The Avatar tells the curator that when they have brought peace to their world, they will return to give their weapons to those who need it, pleasing the curator.

Strategy
Upon starting, there are "Staff" and "Visitor" units; both are hostile groups. The Staff consists of several Lancers, Snipers, Oni Chieftains and Generals. Visitors are always enemy reinforcements, excluding the group in the middle. It consists of a small squad of Falcon Knights along with the boss (a Kinshi Knight, supported by a Wolfssegner). This middle group only fights during counter-attacks.

There are several chests throughout the map, and each one has random items in them. The boss also will attempt to loot chests that haven't been touched yet, and will not attack your units (but she will counter-attack). Fighting the boss is only recommended after you defeat the assisting Falcon Knights, as they carry Dragon Ward and will heal the boss if she is not killed yet. In addition, the boss carries the Divine Shield skill, which acts as Dragonskin in addition to preventing poison and negating counter skills. Any items the boss pilfers will be given to the player if she is defeated.

Enemy reinforcements appear from the various buildings around the map. To beat this xenologue, you can either defeat the boss or let her escape.
