▶︎ List of All Classes

Recommended Skills

	Resolve+ If unit's HP is 75% or less after combat, grants Def/Res+7 as long as unit's HP stays below 75%. Ike Bond Level 18
	Axe Power 5 Grants Atk+10 at a cost of Avo-10 when using an axe. Ike Bond Level 17
	Defense +5 Grants Def+5. Ike Bond Level 19
	Vantage++ If unit's HP is 75% or less and foe initiates combat, unit can counter before foe's first attack. Leif Bond Level 18

Boucheron is a typical tank unit that's best left on the frontline by taking lots of damage. Resolve+ and Defense +5 makes Boucheron hard to kill as it bumps up his moderately high Def stat.

Coupling Axe Power 5 with Vantage++ can also be deadly for any enemy that dares to attack him first.

While this skill build has Boucheron taking multiple hits to maximize efficiency, he does have some of the highest HP in the game.

Boucheron Best Emblem

Recommended Emblems

Marth

Leif

Ike

Boucheron has an impressive HP and Dex growth rate, making him a notable offensive unit in the early chapters of the game. Marth helps raise Boucheron's Avo to dodge enemy attacks when he's in the front lines.

Pair him with Leif or Ike to increase Boucheron's defenses further. Roy can help increase Boucheron's Res specifically, benefiting Boucheron's weakness against magic.

Boucheron Paired Ending and Romance

Pact Ring with Boucheron

After clearing Chapter 22, players unlock The Connector Paralogue and can subsequently unlock the Pact Ring. This essentially acts as Fire Emblem Engage's S-Rank Support and romance route.

Alear can then give the ring to Boucheron once they have attained an A-Rank in support to view a special cutscene, and unlock a page in the reference about the life they lived together.

Boucheron's Memento

Boucheron gave me this precious gift, one of his favorite books, to show me what I meant to him.

Apart from obtaining an exclusive ending with Boucheron after giving the Pact Ring, players can also head to Alear's room and check the small table next to their bed to find a memento from him.

While the memento serves no purpose in combat whatsoever unlike the Merc Whistle in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, it further contextualizes the paired ending selected by the player.
