Type

Lance

First game

Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem

The Iron Lance (Japanese:鉄の槍 Iron Lance) is one of the most basic lances in the Fire Emblem series, first appearing in Mystery of the Emblem and appearing in every game since. Commonly used by soldiers, cavaliers and knights, it can be a mild threat at the beginning of most games, as almost all main characters wield swords. This weapon has a higher might and weight but less accuracy than the common Iron Sword, and the opposite when compared to its axe counterpart.
