The '''Trueblade''' (剣聖, ''Kensei'', meaning "sword saint") class, also referred to as the '''Sword Eschatos''' (ソードエスカトス, ''Sōdo Esukatosu'') class in Japan, is a very advanced [[sword]]-using class exclusive to {{title|Radiant Dawn}}. It is the last in a rare three-stage promotion line, starting with the [[Myrmidon]] class, then the [[Swordmaster]] class, and finally the Trueblade.
The '''Trueblade''' (Japanese: {{hover|剣聖|Kensei}} ''sword saint'') class, also referred to as the '''Sword Eschatos''' (Japanese: {{hover|ソードエスカトス|Sōdo Esukatosu}}) class in Japan, is a very advanced [[sword]]-using class debuting in {{title|Radiant Dawn}}. In its first appearance, it is the last in a rare three-stage promotion line, starting with the [[Myrmidon]] class, then the [[Swordmaster]] class, and finally the Trueblade. In ''Fates'', it is one possible promoted form of the new [[Samurai]] class, the alternative being the [[Weapon Master]].


Trueblades are extremely powerful, being a third-tier class. They have high stats all around, although their strength and defense pale slightly in comparison to those of other final classes. Additionally, their resistance is rather low, and they do not have any ranged attacks, save for with swords such as the [[Tempest Blade]].

Additionally, their resistance is rather low, and they do not have any ranged attacks, save for with swords such as the [[Tempest Blade]].


However, they have an amazingly large bonus of +20% critical, and trueblades often have high [[Skill (stat)|skill]], which additionally contributes to critical hit chance. Additionally, they have the [[Astra (skill)|Astra]] skill, which allows trueblades to attack five times in a row when activated, though their opponents are often decimated before the final strike. With few flaws, their skills compensate for their weakness in strength, and the Trueblade class is overall a very strong attacker.

==Etymology==
==Notable enemy Trueblades==
''Kensei'' (剣聖) was a title given to a swordfighter (剣士, ''kenshi'') of legendary skill. It is even higher in prestige than the title 剣豪 (''kengou'', "great sword"), which was bestowed upon great swordfighters.

==Trivia==
* The title 剣聖 (''Kensei'') is the same title given to both the [[Twelve Crusaders|Crusader]] [[Odo]] and the master swordsman [[Karel]] after his change of heart.


The word "trueblade" seems to be only a creative invention by the translators of ''Fire Emblem''. The Japanese name, '''Sword Eschatos''', combines "sword" and the Greek word έσχατος (''eskhatos''), meaning "furthest" or "extreme".<ref>http://strongsnumbers.com/greek/2078.htm</ref>
