Levin Sword
| ||||
|
The Levin Sword (Japanese: サンダーソード Thunder Sword) is a recurring magic sword introduced in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light, and the first of its kind in the Fire Emblem series. In all appearances, it is capable of attacking both at close range and over a distance, using thunder magic to do so. Since Genealogy of the Holy War it deals magical damage to foes, using the wielder's magic stat instead of their strength to calculate damage, and targets the foe's resistance stat instead of their defense. Depending on the individual game, it may have other effects.
