Tempest Blade
| ||||
|
TheTempest Blade (Japanese:旋風の剣Whirlwind Sword) is asword appearing exclusively inFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It is an enhanced-range weapon that is capable of attacking foes at 2 range, rather than being locked to the standard melee range of most other swords, and is the strongest ofRadiant Dawn's ranged swords that are neitherpersonal norsacred. Although it hurls a blast of wind to attack at range, it is not actually amagic sword in that it does not use the user'smagic stat or target the enemy'sresistance, but sticks withstrength anddefense. Although powerful, it is also heavy and its accuracy leaves something to be desired.

Trivia
- Like most other ranged swords inRadiant Dawn, the Tempest Blade's help description falsely implies that it is a magic sword that casts wind magic. Its ranged attacks count as physical sword damage, not magical wind damage.
