Warrior Special (A): Minerva slams her dragon down on enemies, then wildly swings her axe at them, then flies up and finishes with a hard, fiery slash.

Awakening Special (A):  Minerva rapidly jabs her axe, then flies up and shoots a fiery blast out of her axe.

Dual Special (A): Minerva swoops down using her wyvern, then spins, then swings her axe while erupting fire in front of her. She then finishes by slashing at the fire, blowing several enemies away.
 * Fighting Style

Minerva's unique Crest is Iote's Shield, which first appeared in the Archanea series as an item before becoming a Skill in Awakening. It nullifies the user's type-based weaknesses (for example, for Minerva, it nullifies her weaknesses against units effective against dragons and flying units). Note that this does not apply to weapon triangle advantage.
