Byleth wields Areadbhar along with several other Heroes' Relics as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is used in theirforward smash, theirforward andback aerials, as well as in theirside special. In these attacks, Areadbhar has tremendous reach, even longer than most swords in the game. The lance has a powerfulsweet spot at the very tip, but hitting enemies with the shaft deals much weaker damage and knockback.

Etymology and other languages
| Names, etymology, and in other regions | ||
|---|---|---|
| Language | Name | Definition, etymology, and notes |
| English | Areadbhar | FromAréadbhair, a spear wielded by the godLugh in Irish mythology. The spear is sometimes known as the "Slaughterer" in certain translations, a possible inspiration for theAtrocity combat art. This name for Lugh's spear is not attested prior to the 17th century AD, long after the Christianization of Ireland, so it is not a genuine mythological name. |
