Glitnir (Japanese:グリトニルGlitnir) is a weaponskill in theaxe category which debuted inFire Emblem Heroes. It is apersonal weapon ofGustav. It is currently unavailable for usage by players, owing to Gustav's status as an enemy-exclusive unit; however, its enhanced variation,Headsman Glitnir (Japanese:死斧グリトニルDeath axe Glitnir), is available for playable use as a personal weapon of Gustav's fallen variation.
