Rapier
| ||||||
|
The Rapier (Japanese: レイピア Rapier) is a sword-type weapon in the Fire Emblem series, first appearing in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and appearing in every game set in the Archanean/Ylissean world and Elibe as well as Thracia 776, The Sacred Stones, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and Three Houses; it does not appear in Gaiden, the Tellius duology, and Fates. This sword is quite unique because, in every appearance except Thracia 776, Shadows of Valentia, and Three Houses, it can be only wielded by certain characters of noble descent; it is the personal weapon of Marth, Roy, Eliwood, and Eirika, as well as a class weapon for the Lord tree in Awakening.
Fairly light and accurate yet somewhat weak, this weapon deals extra damage against armored and mounted units.

Trivia
- Phina can wield the Rapier in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. According to Intelligent Systems' website, this is due to a secret of her heritage.[1] This was not retained in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, although it was brought back for her appearance in Heroes.
- Although the setting of the series seems to be inspired by the Middle Ages, the rapier was mainly used in the 16th and 17th centuries, during the Renaissance.
- In the Japanese version of The Sacred Stones, the Rapier had no effective bonus against Mage Knights. This was changed in the international versions.
