Lucky Seven

Lucky Seven is a sword in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 that is used by Noah. According to Riku, it is a legendary sword forged by seven Swordsmithpon in the past over the course of seven years.
==Appearance and properties==
Lucky Seven appears as a thin sword with a black hilt with violet glowing lines and a circular hole near the pommel. Most of the time it is concealed in a sheath resembling a large red sword with a Flame Clock meter near the pummel, which changes into the Ouroboros symbol once Noah is freed from the Flame Clock; while sheathed, it is known as the Veiled Sword. Whenever Noah pulls Lucky Seven from its sheath, his left arm is covered in a glowing armored gauntlet that compromised of the sword's sheath.
Lucky Seven's blade is forged from seven different types of steel, and is capable of damaging even a Ferronis. Lucky Seven is one of the few weapons capable of destroying Flame Clocks.
==Story arc==
Early in the story, Lucky Seven is concealed in a red sword, called the Veiled Sword. The sword itself first appears in a flashback in which Riku presents Noah Lucky Seven after his training sword is destroyed by Garvel. Riku reveals that the sword is so powerful, it can pierce the armor of a Ferronis, before he asks Lanz to strike it with his Shieldblade, cleaving it in half, and leaving Lucky Seven untouched. Noah initially declines until Riku suggests to hide it in some form of disguise made from the blade Noah summons: the Veiled Sword.
When the party fails to destroy Colony 4's Flame Clock in an attempt to cut off Moebius K's regeneration, Noah remembers Riku's wisdom about Lucky Seven and decides to draw it for the first time to finally destroy the Flame Clock and kill K. From this point onward, Noah would often use Lucky Seven to free Colonies from the control of Moebius throughout Aionios.
Noah later uses Lucky Seven to destroy Colony Lambda's Flame Clock during the party's battle with a mudpuppet of Isurd. At Engardo Pass, just as P and O are about to detonate themselves via annihilation event due to Interlinking too long, Noah uses Lucky Seven to destroy the cliff that they're standing on, sending the chimera Moebius plummeting into the Great Sea, allowing the resulting annihilation event to go off safely. During the party's battle with the Queen of Keves, Noah considers using Lucky Seven to break her barrier, despite Lanz's objection, due to potentially killing the Queen (although it is later revealed that she was an imposter).
During Mio's Homecoming at Agnus Castle, Riku takes notice that Noah still hasn't used Lucky Seven's full potential, reminding him that today is the day of need. Noah finally unleashes Lucky Seven's true power after his battle with N, drawing an enlarged version of the sword from his Ouroboros core to defeat him. When X sets the fake Queen of Agnus upon the party, Noah uses the sword to destroy the machine and its Flame Clock, freeing everyone at the Castle.
At a rebuilt Colony Omega, Noah uses Lucky Seven to destroy its violet Flame Clock, freeing Miyabi and a reborn Cammuravi, Mwamba, and Hackt from the deranged Moebius scientist Y. While searching for Origin Metal, Noah uses Lucky Seven as a magnet to find one in the possession of the off-seer-turned Moebius Crys. Inside Origin, Noah unsheathed Lucky Seven to determine the location of the imprisoned Melia. While battling Z inside the Amphitheater, Noah plunges Lucky Seven into its stage, destroying it and revealing Z's true form as Z∞. After defeating Z, Noah tosses Lucky Seven into the sea as Aionios splits back into Bionis and Alrest.
==Lore==
* According to an interview with Tetsuya Takahashi in Aionios Moments, Lucky Seven is Fiora's manifestation into Aionios. Riku's original explanation of its creation via seven swordsmithpon was a lie.
==Gameplay==
During the battle with Moebius K, Noah unlocks the Infinity Blade , in which Noah briefly unsheathes Lucky Seven to deal a large amount of damage, ignoring defenses.
During the battle with the Queen of Agnus, Noah unlocks the Unlimited Sword Talent Art which unlocks the power of Lucky Seven, changing Noah's (and by extension his s and s) for 90 seconds: his class becomes Lucky Seven (Attacker), Lucky Seven (Defender), or Lucky Seven (Healer) depending upon whether his normal class is an Attacker, Defender, or Healer.
In all cases, Lucky Seven's s are Gravity Blow, Dimension Ripper, and Tachyon Slash. Its Master Arts are Power Raiser and Night Breaker. Lucky Seven's Talent Art is Final Lucky Seven which inflicts the Smash Combo with an AOE and Pierce. After N is defeated, the Master Art Harmonic Wave becomes available. If Noah Interlinks while Lucky Seven is drawn, the Ouroboros Talent Art Origin Blade becomes available immediately.
==Trivia==
* While sheathed, Lucky Seven resembles the Monado from Xenoblade Chronicles and Pyra's version of the Aegis Sword from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, continuing the trend of Xenoblade Chonicles' protagonists swords being red.
* If Noah fights Kevesi or Agnian soldiers while Lucky Seven is drawn, he will use the blunt side of the sword instead of the sharp side.
** Interestingly, Noah will use the blunt side of the sword against Z∞.
