Slim Lance
| ||||
|
TheSlim Lance (Japanese:細身の槍Slim Lance) is a basiclance which was introduced inFire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. It is a weak but lightweight weapon designed as an alternative to the regularIron Lance for units with lowconstitution stats, as its lack of weight keeps the penalties on the user'sattack speed to a minimum. It is usually found in the possession of low-leveled female lance-wielders, particularlyPegasus Knights, to alleviate their low constitution and give them a better chance to fight and gain theexperience and stats needed to successfully use heavier lances. However, once these units have overcome this hurdle and gained enoughspeed, the Slim Lance's lowmight makes its continued use unfavorable when there are stronger lances available.

Trivia
- Despite being unused in that game, the Slim Lance inRadiant Dawn has fully-featured help text. As most unused items inRadiant Dawn have placeholder help text (Warp Powder, for example), this suggests that the Slim Lance was cut from the game's final weapon roster very late in development.

- The Slim Lance does not appear inFire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem despite appearing in the original, due to the removal of weapon weight. However, there is an unused item sprite for it (pictured).
