List of swords

The following is a list of all **swords and blades** used by playable characters as weapons in the *Super Smash Bros.* series.

### The Master Sword

The Master Sword is a longsword from *The Legend of Zelda* universe. It has appeared in many games of the *Zelda* series as Link's most powerful sword and is one of the few weapons capable of defeating Ganon. The backstory established in *The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword* shows that it was created from the Goddess Sword and is inhabited by the sword spirit Fi. It is generally found in the Pedestal of Time, although its location varies by game.

In *Smash*, the Master Sword appears in many roles. The Master Sword is wielded by adult Link in all games of the *Smash* series, and its appearance varies by game. In *SSB* and *Melee*, it is based on its appearance in *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*; *Brawl* and *SSB4*, it is based on its appearance in *The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess*; in *Ultimate*, it is based on its appearance in *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*. Toon Link wields the Master Sword as well, based on its appearance in *The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker*; his version is shorter and weaker, but swings much faster. Mii Swordfighters can also wield the Master Sword as part of the downloadable content costume based on Link.

In *Melee*'s Adventure Mode, five pedestals with a Master Sword appear in the Underground Maze, indicating a fight against Link. In *Ultimate*'s World of Light, the Master Sword appears in the Sacred Land sub-world. There is also a Master Sword trophy in *Melee.*

### Trophy

*The Master Sword varies a bit between titles in the Legend of Zelda series, but it's generally the most powerful blade that Link can carry. It's a magical weapon that can be wielded only by a true hero, and, as its name implies, it's the weapon of choice in decisive battles. At the end of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link returned it to its stone pedestal.*

### SpaceWorld 2000 sword

The unnamed sword popularly known as the SpaceWorld 2000 sword was wielded by Ganondorf in *The Legend of Zelda*-based SpaceWorld 2000 GameCube Tech Demo, being used in a short sword duel with Link. Despite the sword only appearing in a tech demo before, it appeared in *Melee* as part of one of Ganondorf's victory poses and returned in *Ultimate* as part of Ganondorf's down taunt and his new smash attacks. The sword did not appear in *Brawl* or *SSB4*, which used the *Twilight Princess* design of Ganondorf and the Sword of Six Sages from the same game.

### Sword of the Six Sages

The Sword of the Six Sages is a longsword from *The Legend of Zelda* universe. In the backstory of *The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess*, the sword was originally used by the Sages in an attempt to execute Ganondorf. While the sword penetrated his armor and left a glowing wound, Ganondorf was kept alive by the Triforce of Power he possessed, and he took the sword for himself before he was sealed into the Twilight Realm. When Ganondorf is revived towards the end of the game's plot, he uses the sword prominently in his final battle with Link. The sword is first given its official name in its appearance in *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild* as a legacy item unlockable through the usage of Ganondorf's *Smash* amiibo.

In *Smash*, Ganondorf shows off the Sword of the Six Sages in his down taunt in both *Brawl* and *SSB4*. He would first use it to attack as part of the Warlock Blade custom move in *SSB4*. The sword did not appear in *Melee* or *Ultimate*, which use Ganondorf's *Ocarina of Time* design, and his sword from the SpaceWorld 2000 *The Legend of Zelda* tech demo. He can use the Sword as part of his *Twilight Princess* skin.

### Kokiri Sword

The Kokiri Sword is a short sword from *The Legend of Zelda* universe. It is Young Link's starting weapon in *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*, where it was retrieved from a treasure chest in Kokiri Forest on Link's way to see the Great Deku Tree at the beginning of the game. It also appears in *The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask*, slightly redesigned. In *Smash*, Young Link wields the *Ocarina of Time* version of the sword.

### Galaxia

Galaxia is a branched sword from the *Kirby* universe. It is Meta Knight's signature weapon and is used by him in all of his appearances. It was first named Galaxia in the *Kirby: Right Back at Ya!* anime series and the name was adopted back into the main games starting with *Kirby's Epic Yarn*.

In *Smash*, Meta Knight wields Galaxia in all of his playable appearances. In *Brawl* and *SSB4*, it is also the namesake of his Final Smash, Galaxia Darkness. Kirby also uses Galaxia when he copies Meta Knight's Mach Tornado.

### Greninja's water katana/kunai

Greninja uses a blade of water for its smash attacks and forward air. It was originally a water katana in *Smash 4*, but was changed to a kunai in *Ultimate*, which is similar to when Ash's Greninja uses Cut in *Pokémon the Series*.

Although an original concept in *Smash*, several Greninja in the film *Pokémon Detective Pikachu* would use water swords, similar to the Greninja in *Smash 4* and *Ultimate*. It also has been referenced in *Pokémon UNITE*.

### Falchion

Falchion is a broadsword from the *Fire Emblem* universe. A regalia sword dating back to the original *Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light*, Falchion is the signature weapon of the series' first protagonist, Marth. Falchion's sister weapon/artifact is the Fire Emblem, a.k.a. the Binding Shield; they were both created together by the Divine Dragon Naga from her fangs, to provide humanity with a means of protecting itself from sinister dragons. The weapons can be used separately or together.

### Exalted Falchion

The original version of the sword that Marth wields was known merely as Falchion in its original appearances, but in *Smash Bros.* and some later appearances, it is referred to as Exalted Falchion (Chrom's Falchion is also known by this name when fully awakened with the power of the Fire Emblem). As of Marth's games, it has become an heirloom of the Altean royal family after its use by their founder, Anri, to defeat the Dragon King Medeus. In *Smash Bros.*, it uses its design from *Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem*; this design is also used as the *Fire Emblem* series symbol. In all of Marth's *Smash Bros.* appearances, his Falchion has a stronger sweetspot at the tip of its blade. Kirby can also use the sword if he copies Marth's Shield Breaker.

### Sealed Falchion

The sword reappears in *Fire Emblem Awakening* many centuries later, in the hands of the Ylissean royal family and featuring a very different design. In the years since, Falchion has become locked with Naga's Holy Blood, but its power has been reduced due to most of the Fire Emblem's gemstones being removed at the hands of the First Exalt (as well as general decay to its parts, having been reforged and repaired multiple times to take on its current appearance). In this state, the sword is referred to as Sealed Falchion. By the start of the game, Falchion has been inherited by Chrom, and he eventually collects the Fire Emblem's gemstones and performs the rite of Awakening to restore its full strength, powering it up into Exalted Falchion.

In the English version of *Awakening*, this form is simply called Falchion, which is reflected in the Palutena's Guidance conversation about Chrom. However, it is given the name Sealed Falchion in *Fire Emblem Heroes*, which more closely matches the Japanese name (封剣ファルシオン, *Sealed Sword Falchion*).

In *Smash*, Chrom uses the Sealed Falchion in all of his appearances: as a playable fighter in *Ultimate*, in his role as part of Robin's Pair Up Final Smash, and in his costume for Mii Swordfighters. For his playable role, unlike Roy, who he is a semi-clone of, its power is completely even throughout the blade. Kirby can also use the Sealed Falchion if he copies Chrom's Flare Blade.

### Parallel Falchion

Lucina carries the same Falchion as Chrom from her future timeline, slightly powered up into a form known as the Parallel Falchion after she used an incomplete rite of Awakening on it. In *Smash Bros.*, like Chrom's Falchion, the Parallel Falchion deals consistent damage throughout the blade. Kirby can also use the Parallel Falchion if he copies Lucina's Shield Breaker.

### Binding Blade

The Binding Blade (previously localized as the Sword of Seals), is a regalia sword from the *Fire Emblem* universe. The titular sword of *Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade*, the Binding Blade was the second sword wielded by the legendary Hartmut of the Eight Generals, the founder of the militant nation of Bern in Elibe. It was used to seal away the Demon Dragon Idunn and end the Scouring, a war in which humans fought and exiled dragons to another dimension. Late in *The Binding Blade*, the weapon is awakened by the Fire Emblem and reacts to Roy, promoting him into a Great Lord.

In *Smash*, the Binding Blade is wielded by Roy in all of his playable appearances. In a similar vein as Marth's Falchion, Roy's Binding Blade has consistently featured a "reverse" sweet spot at the base of its blade in every appearance, necessitating him to fight much closer to his opponents; Ironically, the Binding Blade is a two ranged weapon in *Fire Emblem* unlike in *Smash*. It also is capable of having flame properties in some of its attacks. Starting from *SSB4*, Roy also wields it in reverse grip. Kirby can also use the Binding Blade if he copies Roy's Flare Blade.

### Ragnell

Ragnell is a two-handed regalia sword from the *Fire Emblem* universe. Ragnell is a holy blade blessed by the Goddess Ashera; in the ancient past of Tellius, the apostle Altina used the sword in tandem with its counterpart, Alondite. In *Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance* and *Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn*, Ike wields Ragnell as his primary weapon, while Alondite belongs to his rival, the Black Knight. The swords clash against each other, along with their respective wielders, in their rivalry throughout both games set on Tellius. Within these games, both swords are among the most powerful weapons available, capable of performing long-ranged attacks.

In *Smash*, Ragnell is wielded by Ike in all of his playable appearances. As a "testament to his strength", Ike wields the two-handed Ragnell with only one hand, granting his attacks significant power but low speed. Kirby can also use Ragnell if he copies Ike's Eruption.

### Levin Sword

A Levin Sword is a magic sword from the *Fire Emblem* universe. Debuting in *Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light*, Levin Swords are used to cast thunder magic, and have appeared in many games of the series with varying designs. In the *Fire Emblem* series, the Levin Sword can be used to attack from afar, but this is not present in *SSB4*. Additionally, the Levin Sword in *SSB4* is considerably shorter compared to its appearance in *Fire Emblem Awakening*.

In *Smash*, Robin uses a *Fire Emblem Awakening*-style Levin Sword for smash attacks and smash attack-like aerial attacks. Following its original elemental traits, the Levin Sword deals electric damage. After a certain number of uses, Levin Swords will break, referencing the *Fire Emblem* durability system. A broken Levin Sword will be dropped and shatter after a few seconds, but Robin or any other fighter can pick it up and use it as a basic throwing item before it disappears. Once broken, the sword respawns after about 6 seconds. In *Ultimate*, using the Levin Sword will display its current durability above Robin's damage meter.

### Bronze Sword

A Bronze Sword is a very basic, weak sword from the *Fire Emblem* universe. Introduced in *Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn*, Bronze Swords are inexpensive, have a very low weapon rank requirement and high durability, but are often very inferior in Might (damage) compared to other weapons.

In *Smash*, Robin uses a Bronze Sword for any sword-based moves that do not use the Levin Sword. This includes their jab, tilts, dash attack, neutral aerial, and any aerials performed normally. Robin also uses a Bronze Sword for smash attacks if the Levin Sword is unavailable. Despite being breakable in *Awakening*, Bronze Swords are unbreakable in *Smash*. Like the Levin Sword in *SSB4*, the Bronze Sword is considerably shorter compared to its appearance in *Fire Emblem Awakening*.

### Dreamseeker

The **Dreamseeker** (夢幻 *Mugen*?) is Crono's strongest weapon from *Chrono Trigger (DS)*. Obtained after beating the Dream Devourer who is able to be fought after all three Dimensional Vortexes are beaten.

In *Smash,* Chrono uses the Dreamseeker for his special moves, smash attacks, jabs, tilts, dash attack, neutral aerial, and any aerials performed normally.

### Omega Yato

Yato is a regalia katana from the *Fire Emblem* universe. In *Fire Emblem Fates*, it is Corrin's signature weapon and is capable of transforming into many variations over the course of the game, some of which are dependent on the story path chosen.

In *Smash*, Yato is Corrin's main weapon, appearing in its ultimate form known as Omega Yato, the "Fire Emblem" of its continuity. This form is exclusively available in the third story path, *Revelation*, and in the DLC chapter *Heirs of Fate 6: Lost in the Waves*. Despite its chainsaw-like blade, it functions identically to a typical sword with the exception of Corrin's charge portion of their forward smash, where the small blades rotate along with the sword and deal multiple weak hits.

### Sword of the Creator

The Sword of the Creator, also simply called the Creator Sword, is one of the Relics from *Fire Emblem: Three Houses*, and Byleth's signature weapon, crafted from the heart and bones of the progenitor goddess Sothis and previously wielded by the bandit king Nemesis. It has the ability to extend and retract like a whip to attack opponents at range.

The sword used to only be used at its fullest potential by those who bear the Crest of Flames, the "Fire Emblem" of this continuity but by the time Byleth acquired the sword at the Holy Mausoleum, only they can wield it despite Edelgard also having the Crest of Flames. The Relics usually require the corresponding crest stone to be used without harm, yet Byleth seemingly wields it without one. It is later revealed that the sword was made from the remains of the progenitor god and that the crest stone is her heart which Rhea placed within Byleth.

In *Smash*, the sword is used for most of Byleth's ground attacks, as well as upward-inputted moves such as up smash, up air, and up special. The sword is sometimes used in its whip form while other times is used in its sword form.

### Monado

The Monado is a mythical weapon from the *Xenoblade Chronicles* universe. It is an energy blade, with the red shell opening up to produce a long beam of blue light. The Monado begins *Xenoblade Chronicles* as the Homs' ultimate weapon against the invading Mechon—it cannot harm Homs, whereas it is the only known weapon that can damage the Mechon. However, it appears to have a mind of its own; initially, Dunban is the only one that can successfully control its power, and even then, it gradually causes him to lose the use of his right arm. When the Mechon later attacks Colony 9, Dunban can no longer use the Monado despite trying, and Shulk ends up taking it in his stead, finding that he can wield it with no ill effects. From there, Shulk uses the Monado as his only weapon. As his adventure progresses, he discovers that it hides additional battle arts and provides him with premonitions of the future that he must take action to avoid. Over the course of the adventure, the Monado evolves to grant Shulk additional strength when he most needs it. Ultimately, Shulk and his party discover the deep and complex connection between the Monado and the nature of the world.

In *Smash*, Shulk wields the initial form of the Monado as his primary weapon and additionally utilizes its Monado Arts. Due to its beam nature, the Monado grants Shulk excellent disjointed range, one of the longest in the entire series. Its ability to provide premonitions is also used as his down special, functioning as a counterattack. Kirby can also carry the Monado if he copies Monado Arts from Shulk, though he does not fight with it.

A stylized depiction of the Monado is also used as the *Xenoblade* series symbol, matching how it was stylized on the loading screens of *Xenoblade Chronicles*.

### Aegis Sword

The Aegis Sword is a weapon type exclusive to Pyra and Mythra in *Xenoblade Chronicles 2*, being wielded by their Driver Rex. Pyra's Aegis Sword is an energy blade with a red triangular shell similar in appearance to the Monado, but with several small beams emitted from its side. With it, Rex's attacks and her Blade Arts specialize in the Fire element. Mythra's sword has a white shell and its smaller beams form a crossguard. With it, Rex's attacks and her Blade Arts specialize in the Light element.

In *Smash*, Pyra and Mythra wield their respective Aegis Swords, rather than Rex. Pyra's sword generates flame effects for certain attacks, but as *Smash* lacks a true "Light" element, Mythra's Aegis instead uses the slash effect for its direct attacks, and the magic effect for its light-based moves. The energy blade of Pyra's Aegis Sword has significantly greater length than Mythra's, despite the two having identical length in their home game. During various animations, Pyra and Mythra's Aegis Swords levitate freely near their bodies. Additionally, during Pyra and Mythra's respective Final Smashes (Burning Sword and Sacred Arrow), the Aegis Sword gets handed over to Rex, who performs the initial slash that sets up into the rest of either move. Kirby can also use both Aegis Swords if he copies Pyra's Flame Nova or Mythra's Lightning Buster, respectively. Pyra's Aegis Sword is also part of Rex's Mii Fighter costume. The Pneuma spirit also depicts herself with the third Aegis Sword.

### Buster Sword

The Buster Sword is an immense broadsword from the *Final Fantasy* universe. Debuting in *Final Fantasy VII*, it is Cloud Strife's trademark and starting weapon and was wielded before him by Angeal Hewley and Zack Fair. Angeal was the original owner of the Buster Sword and it was forged by his father when Angeal joined SOLDIER but after his father fell ill and passed, Angeal barely used it to avoid the blade being damaged, instead fighting with a standard SOLDIER sword because of his father's memory. Angeal would later entrust the Buster Sword to Zack as a symbol of passing on his honor and dreams. Zack uses the Buster Sword much more frequently than Angeal but Zack would later be gunned down by Shinra outside of Midgar. He would later passed on the Buster Sword to Cloud, naming him his living legacy and proof of his life.

After the getting the Buster Sword, Cloud would use it as his main weapon but he would later get better weapons later in the game like the Hardedge and the Ultima Weapon for example. Cloud still uses the Buster Sword in cutscenes and minigames however. In Advent Children Cloud would place the Buster Sword on the cliff where Zack had his last stand as a memorial. The sword rusts and becomes covered in dirt but he would later place it at Sector 5 church.

The Buster Sword has become an iconic design element for both Cloud and *Final Fantasy VII* in general, due to its massive size and simple yet distinctive shape. The Buster Sword is wielded by Cloud in most of his appearances and has appeared in other *Final Fantasy* media as well. From tip to handle, it is approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot wide. There are two holes near the handguard, variably said to be Materia slots (and portrayed as such in *Final Fantasy VII Remake*), or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back. Kirby can also wield the Buster Sword if he copies Blade Beam from Cloud.

### Fusion Sword

The Fusion Sword is a six-piece sword assembly wielded by Cloud Strife. Cloud uses the base sword and the others in its set as his preferred weapon in *Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children*, the sequel film to *Final Fantasy VII*. It is composed of six swords that assemble into a single large sword with a shape identical to the Buster Sword.

In *Smash*, when Cloud uses his costume based on *Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children*, the Buster Sword is replaced with the combined Fusion Sword to match, with no difference in function barring one exception: as of *Ultimate* update 10.1.0, it will split into its six component blades for his unique Final Smash in that costume, Omnislash Ver. 5. This is primarily a cosmetic change, with the resulting total damage and knockback being the same as the normal version. Kirby cannot copy the Fusion Sword, regardless of Cloud's costume.

### Masamune

The Masamune is a longsword belonging to the antagonist of *Final Fantasy VII*, Sephiroth. A variant of the series' recurring Masamune blade, its most notable aspect is its extreme length. The blade is taller than Sephiroth himself, clocking in somewhere between six and eight feet long. Sephiroth is said to be the only one able to effectively wield it; Tifa Lockhart briefly, but unsuccessfully, attempted to use it against Sephiroth during the Nibelheim Incident. Sephiroth gained the ability to manifest the blade at will after his merging with the Lifestream.

In *Smash*, Sephiroth uses the Masamune as his primary means of attacking. In comparison to its original appearance, the blade's length appears to have been slightly shortened for the purpose of gameplay balance, but it is still among the longest-reaching weapons in the game as well as the longest sword in the entire series (if not counting those exclusively wielded in Final Smashes or by boss characters, such as Kirby's Ultra Sword or Ganon's greatswords).

### Iai Katana

Yu's main weapon, a katana that can split even a bullet in two. In *Smash,* his regular attacks, smash attacks and special moves use this katana.

### Ame no Ohabari

Yu's ultimate weapon, a sword used by Izanagi to kill Hi no Kagutsuchi, and by Susanoo to kill Yamato no Orochi. In *Smash,* he uses the sword in his final smash, All Out Attack.

### Supreme Sword of Light

The Sword of Light is a very powerful sword that appears in *Dragon Quest XI*. The sword is forged by Luminary and is a replica of the Super Sword of Light. Supreme Sword of Light is an upgraded version of Sword of Light that is forged in Act 3 in order to defeat the true final boss.

In *Smash*, Luminary uses the sword as his primary weapon. Kirby can wield the Supreme Sword of Light if Hero's Frizz is copied, though he does not fight with it.

### Erdrick's Sword

The Erdrick's Sword, also known as Sword of Kings, is a very powerful sword that appears in titles across *Dragon Quest* series. The sword debuted in the original *Dragon Quest* and has reappeared in several titles since. After its use by the legendary hero Erdrick in *Dragon Quest III*, it received equally legendary status. The sword has since been wielded by multiple heroes across the series.

In *Smash*, Erdrick use the sword as his primary weapon. Mii Swordfighters can also use it if using the Erdrick Equipment.

### Zenithian Sword

The Zenithian Sword is a sword that appears in a few *Dragon Quest* titles, first appearing *Dragon Quest IV*. It is used by Solo and Sofia as one of their several weapons throughout the game, first retrieved at the World Tree. It later appears in *Dragon Quest V* and *Dragon Quest Swords* as well, and appears in *Dragon Quest VI* under the name "Sword of Ramias".

In *Smash*, Solo uses the sword as his primary weapon.

### Dragovian King Sword

The Dragovian King Sword is a sword that appears in *Dragon Quest VIII*, being only wieldable by the Hero and is the most powerful weapon they can obtain in said game.

In *Smash*, Eight uses the sword as his primary weapon.

### Steve's swords

The sword is a melee weapon from *Minecraft*. There are multiple variants of swords, including wooden, stone, iron, golden, diamond, and netherite (which is not present in *Ultimate*), all varying in strength and durability. They are crafted with a single stick and two units of either wooden planks, cobblestone, iron ingots, gold ingots or diamonds respectively, with netherite swords requiring a diamond sword to be upgraded with a netherite ingot by using a smithing table. Swords can also be obtained by defeating specific mobs, trading with villagers, and from naturally spawning chests.

In *Smash*, Steve uses swords in his jab, forward tilt, neutral aerial, forward smash, edge attack, and floor attack. He is initially armed with a wooden sword, but he is able to Craft new swords using a Crafting Table. After a while of use, swords will break.

Mii Swordfighters can also wield the diamond sword by using the Diamond Armor costume.

### Kingdom Key

The Keyblade is the primary weapon of choice in the *Kingdom Hearts* universe. They functionally serve three purposes: as a key to unlock virtually any keyhole, as a sword for close quarters combat, and as a wand to cast magic spells. In *Super Smash Bros.*, Sora wields his signature Kingdom Key; it has a yellow guard, a metal colored shaft in the shape of a key, and is adorned with a keychain in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head.

In the *Kingdom Hearts* series, Keyblades are key-shaped swords with the ability to lock and unlock anything through magic and vanquish darkness. The first Keyblades were originally created by the Master of Masters by extracting them from the hearts of people using the χ-blade (pronounced the same as Keyblade), a legendary Keyblade meant to unlock the true Kingdom Hearts. However, various factions grew surrounding the myths of the χ-blade and Kingdom Hearts, resulting in the first Keyblade War, and the aftermath left resulted in the Keyblade Graveyard as it is known in legends. A multitude of Keyblades exist with different attributes, strengths and weaknesses. A single wielder is capable of using multiple Keyblades, with particularly powerful wielders being able to wield several simultaneously.

A process known as bequeathing allows Keyblade Wielders to hand their Keyblade to others as a test of worthiness for that particular individual. The Kingdom Key was originally Riku's main Keyblade, but in the process of Riku falling into the darkness, the Kingdom Key chose Sora as its new user.

Presumably due to the complicated requirements to properly become a Keyblade wielder, Kirby does not wield an exact copy of the weapon, instead wielding a rough imitation made of sparkles.

### Scarlet/gold sword of battle

The **golden sword of battle** (also known as **Scarlet**) is Finn's weapon of choice throughout most of seasons one and two. The blade is dented, chipped, and dirty. Its hilt is black with some worn leather grip-straps and a red gemstone in the pommel. In "Business Time," the Business Men polish and sharpen the sword, making this episode the only one in which the golden sword appears to be in excellent condition. In *Smash,* Scarlet is once again wielded by Finn in battle.

### Blowfish Poison

The signature sword of Haohmaru from the Samurai Showdown series. He uses it in *Smash* as his weapon.

### Deadpool's Katanas

Deadpool is a master swordsman who frequently uses katana blades in combat. Although they are not unique items, and have been replaced many times in the past, Deadpool has a keen eye for metalwork and uses high-quality katana when he can afford it. In *Smash,* he uses his default metal katanas as his weapon, but in his Kidpool skin he uses lightsaber-like weapons instead.

### Dual Swords

**Dual Swords** are melee weapons in *Xenoblade Chronicles X*. They are used by Commandos and can be mastered through the Winged Viper and Full Metal Jaguar Classes. In *Smash,* Elma uses Dual Swords in her regular and special moves.

### Manni Katti

The **Mani Katti** (マーニ・カティ *Māni Kati*) is a highly versatile katana-like sword that hails from *Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade*. Bound solely to Lyn, the Mani Katti is a powerful sword that closely resembles the Rapier. What sets the two blades apart from each other is the fact that the Mani Katti boosts its wearer's Critical Hit chance by 20%. In *Smash,* Lyndis wields the Manni Katti as her main weapon.

### Bandana Dee's spear

**Spear** is a Copy Ability that was introduced in *Kirby's Return to Dream Land*. Bandana Dee uses a similar spear in later appearances, as well as in *Smash.*

### Joker's dagger

Joker uses handguns and daggers, preferring his signature knife, a **parrying dagger** whenever possible. In *Smash,* he uses it for his melee attacks.

### Fireseal

**Fireseal**, nicknamed **Blazer**, is Sol Badguy's signature weapon and one of the "Sacred Treasures" that comprise the Outrage. The weapon itself is capable of magnifying fire magic, which Sol uses to augment both his physical and sword attacks. In *Smash,* Sol uses Fireseal as his signature weapon.

### Z-Saber

Zero's favorite weapon and the one he is most skilled with, the Z-Saber is a lightsaber-like beam weapon which he first acquired in *Mega Man X2* after being repaired by the X-Hunters (or Dr. Cain). It allows Zero to execute powerful close-range attacks. In *Smash,* Zero wields the Z-Saber for most of his specials and his melee attacks.

### Σ Blade

The **Σ Blade** is an unlockable weapon for Zero and Layer in *Mega Man X8*. It is a gigantic sword, the same weapon used by Sigma in his boss battle. In *Smash,* Sigma wields the sword both in his boss fight and as a fighter.

### Alondite

**Alondite** is the personal Sword of the Black Knight, and hails from the Tellius Series of *Fire Emblem*. Statistically identical and visually similar to its sibling blade, Ragnell, Alondite is instead silver; and while Ragnell is exclusive to Ike, in *Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn*, Alondite can be wielded by any character possessing an SS rank in swords. In *Smash,* Black Knight wields Alondite as his main weapon.

### Golem Blade

Golem Blade is a Great Sword Weapon in Monster Hunter Rise (MHR or MHRise). All weapons have unique properties relating to their Attack Power, Elemental Damage and various different looks. In *Smash,* Monster Hunters wield the Golem Blade for smash attacks.

### Demolition Blades

Dual Blades with the might of a Brachydios. A fiery crimson trail follows them when swung. In *Smash,* Hunters wield them for melee attacks.

### Kirin Thundersword

Attacking with this sword sends lightning surging through your prey's body. In *Smash,* Hunters wield them in an alternate skin.

### Dual Dragon Ultimus

The Dragon element infused in these Dual Blades hits enemies from both sides. In *Smash,* Hunters wield them in an alternate skin.

### Ultra Sword

**Ultra Sword** (ウルトラソード, *Ultra Sword*) is Kirby's Final Smash in *Super Smash Bros. 4* and *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*. Kirby dons a green cap and wields a giant sword. He then swings the sword, trapping nearby opponents, and slashes the character multiple times. After slicing the opponent multiple times, the sword grows bigger, and Kirby finishes with a powerful blow, which sends the targets flying at a fair distance. The Final Smash deals a total of 40% damage.

### Pit's Palutena Bow and Dark Pit's Silver Bow

These can split into bladed weapons. Both can be used by Kirby if he copies their neutral specials, though he only uses it as a bow.

### A Phantom's sword

Used by the Phantom summoned by Zelda's Phantom Slash.

### Dolphin Gun

Saki's weapon of choice, as well as Airan's, is the Dolphin Gun. In addition to acting as a long-range firearm that can potentially lock onto enemies, Saki can also use the Dolphin Gun to form an energy weapon that can slash enemies not unlike a sword. Through proper use of the weapon, he can also nullify some enemies projectiles. In *Smash,* he uses it in sword form for melee attacks.

### Sunlight Straight Sword

This standard longsword, belonging to Solaire of Astora, is of high quality, is well-forged, and has been kept in good repair. Easy to use and dependable, but unlikely to live up to its grandiose name. In *Smash,* Solaire uses it as his main weapon.

### Replica Claymore

Centorea wields a replica of Andúril, from *The Lord of the Rings*, to save Kimihito from Rachnera Arachnera's advances. While realistic in appearance, due to the laws in Japan forbidding an individual from carrying harmful weaponry, the blade is a replica. In *Smash,* it is known as the Replica Claymore.

### Shinai

Throughout her time at Grimoire High School starting in Chapter 74, Centorea wields a Shinai (Japanese bamboo sword) as part of her role as the school's student Rules Officer. In *Smash,* she wields the Shinai in her Grimoire High skin.

### Shovel Blade

The **Shovel Blade** is Shovel Knight's signature and ever-trusting weapon; it is a solid and versatile tool used for digging as well as attacking, and is the only gear that Shovel Knight doesn't need to equip. Those who wield such a weapon follow a honorable moral code known as the **Code of Shovelry**. In *Smash,* Shovel Knight and his Black Knight skin wield the Shovel Blade.

### Arthur's Sword

**Sword** (ソード / 剣), also known as **Super Sword**, is a weapon in the *Ghosts 'n Goblins* series. Unlike other weapons, the Sword can't be thrown as a projectile, making it a short range weapon that cuts in an arc in front of Arthur. However, it can cause twice as much damage with one stroke than most weapons. In *Smash,* Arthur wields it for melee attacks.

### Dullahan Scythe

Lala wields a black scythe with an indent in it. Normally, carrying a weapon in public would be in violation of Japan's laws, but Lala managed to convince the government it's a mere farming scythe, and therefore a tool, not a weapon.

To complement the Yamato, which can separate man from devil, the Rebellion can instead unite the two forces. Dante uses it in *Smash.*

Using the tip of the Vampire Killer, left by his father in Carmilla's heart, and the remains of two other swords, Alucard forged Crissaegrim.

From the Vampire Killer, it retains the ability to punish its peers, paralyzing them in a state of infinite agony. From Glaciem and Igneas, the elemental swords for the underworld, it inherits the icy ability to absorb life and the burning intensity of flames capable of melting any armor.
