Steel Blade
| ||||
|
TheSteel Blade (Japanese:鋼の大剣Steel Greatsword) is an uncommonsword which was introduced inFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. It is the mid-range member of the blade family of weapons, a series of large, heavy swords which trade the reliability of ordinary swords for sheer power. Compared to its ordinary sword counterpart, theSteel Sword, the Steel Blade typically has improvedmight in exchange for significantly higherweight, worseaccuracy and lowerdurability. As a result, while it has immense power, units lacking in theirspeed orconstitution stats are greatly weighed down by it and have theiravoid and chance of being able tofollow-up attack crippled by its weight.
