First game

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

The Hand Axe (Japanese: 手斧 Hand Axe) is a fairly common axe-type weapon in the Fire Emblem series, appearing in every game except Gaiden and its remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. It is the lowest ranked of the ranged axes, its main drawbacks being a low accuracy and heavy weight.
