:''This article is about the weapon type. You may be looking for [[Sword (Gaiden)]], the most basic version of the weapon type in ''Fire Emblem Gaiden''.''

The '''Sword''' ({{hover|剣|Tsurugi}} ''Sword'') is one of the primary weapon types in the {{FES}}, the most proliferated throughout the series, and the type used by the majority of [[Lord|main characters]]. A physical weapon type, swords typically possess the greatest [[Hit|accuracy]] of physical weapons and are considerably [[Weight (weapon)|lighter]], and respectable but lesser [[Might|raw power]]; in this respect, swords are similar to [[Light (magic)|light magic]].  Along with [[axe]]s and [[lance (weapon)|lances]], swords are part of the [[weapon triangle]]; in accordance with it, they possess an advantage over axes, but are weak to lances.
The '''sword''' (Japanese: {{hl|剣|Tsurugi/ken}} ''Sword'') is one of the primary weapon types in the {{FES}}, the most proliferated throughout the series, and the type used by the majority of main characters. Swords are part of the [[weapon triangle]] along with [[axe]]s and [[lance]]s; in accordance with it, they possess an advantage over axes, but are weak to lances. Among these three physical melee weapon types, swords typically possess the greatest [[Hit|accuracy]] and the lowest [[Weight (weapon)|weight]], but possess lesser [[Might|raw power]]; in this respect, swords are similar to [[light magic]].


106 different swords have existed in the entire series, more than any other weapon type, and on average there are more swords than any other weapon type in an individual game; as such, there is a much greater variety in swords, with a large number sporting rare or unique secondary effect. Swords are almost entirely restricted to only one [[range]], with the variety and quantity of ranged swords generally being limited per game compared to their axe or lance counterparts; almost all ranged swords are magic swords, which cast magic to attack at 2 range.

In {{FE14}}, their [[Hoshido|Hoshidan]] counterpart is called the '''katana''' (Japanese: {{hl|刀|Katana}} ''katana''). They are almost exactly the same as swords and share a weapon level, differentiated by the effect of that, when they are equipped, they increase the wielder's speed stat by 1 and decrease the wielder's defense and resistance by one.

===Blades===
===Blades===
Blades ({{hover|大剣|Daiken}} ''Greatsword'') are a variation on the standard iron, steel and silver swords. Characterised as larger and heavier blades, they possess greater [[Might|power]] than their sword counterparts at the expense of greater [[weight (weapon)|weight]] and lower [[hit]]. In {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, they received [[lance (weapon)|lance]] and [[axe]] counterparts, the Greatlances and Poleaxes.

===Critical weapons===
Unlike the other physical weapon types, which generally have only a single "killer weapon", there are a larger number of swords which possess a high [[crit]], allowing for significantly greater [[critical hit]] chance. Traditionally, some of these swords are locked to the exclusive use of the [[Myrmidon]] class family.

Magic swords are an uncommon type of sword which, with the exception of {{title|Awakening}}, constitue the only ranged swords avaiable. Imbued with some form of magic, they mostly work as normal swords when attacking at 1 range, but cast magic attacks at 2 range. In some games, at range they are fuelled by the unit's [[Magic (stat)|Magic]] and target the enemy's [[Resistance]].
