Gungnir (weapon)

The Gungnir is a weapon that appears in several games of the Final Fantasy series, though sometimes only as the summon Odin's spear and not a weapon that characters can equip and use.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy II ===
The Gungnir is a special weapon for Gordon that can be obtained in the Arcane Sanctuary in the PSP version, and provides 90 Attack as well as +50 Strength and Agility.
=== Final Fantasy III ===
Gungnir is a rare steal and rare drop from Odin in the 3D remakes. It has an Attack of 140 and is among the best weapons. The Dragoon and Onion Knight can wield it, and it provides a bonus of 10 to Strength and Agility.
=== Final Fantasy IV ===
Gungnir (Hero's Spear in the Easy Type version) boasts an Attack of 99 and Accuracy of 30, as well as granting +15 to Stamina. Kain is equipped with it when he joins the party after the Battle of the Giant of Babil. This weapon is metallic.
In the 3D versions, it has an attack power of 99 with an accuracy of 90 with the same properties as the 2D versions. Kain can equip this spear.
==== Final Fantasy IV: The After Years ====
The Gungnir is a powerful spear for Kain, and provides 99 Attack, 30% Accuracy, and +10 Stamina. It is found in a chest in the Subterrane after defeating Barbariccia.
=== Final Fantasy VI ===
The Gungnir is Mog's exclusive weapon acquired in the Dragons' Den by defeating the Neslug (only in the Advance and 2014 versions). Another way to get one is to bet the Longinus in the Dragon's Neck Coliseum. Gungnir has an attack power of 240, +7 Stamina and Magic, and enables the Runic command, but does not grant Jump bonuses.
=== Final Fantasy X ===
Any of Kimahri's spears may become the Gungnir when Break Damage Limit is the weapon's dominant ability.
=== Final Fantasy XI ===
The Gungnir is the Relic Weapon polearm for the Dragoon job, available to level 75+ Dragoons after completing a lengthy and expensive quest (usually taking tens of millions of gil). Through subsequent quests, its stats can be increased to Item Level 119.
While it is one of the best polearms for Dragoon, it is weaker than other two-handed melee job Relic Weapons. This is due primarily to the hidden effect created by using its unique Weaponskill, Gierskogul, which causes its user to gain a potent Shock Spikes effect.
This weapon is not the spear used by the form of Odin faced in the difficult Einherjar endgame instanced event, as both the event and Odin himself were introduced three years after the Relic Weapons were created. Though what he clearly wields is a much larger, more impressive polearm than the Relic Weapon, Odin refers to it in-combat as his "...obsidian blade..." before unleashing his trademark Zantetsuken annihilation move unto players, referring to the sword of the same name. A high-level version of the avatar fight drops this weapon, which is named Geirrothr.
