Lance

This article is about the weapon type. For other uses, see Lance (disambiguation).

Lances in the Fire Emblem series

Lances (Japanese: 槍 Lance) are a type of weapon in the Fire Emblem series. In the weapon triangle, they are more effective against swords and less effective against axes. They are generally the most balanced of the three, with average strength and accuracy.

In Fire Emblem Fates, their Hoshidan counterpart is called the naginata (Japanese: 薙刀 naginata). They are almost exactly the same as lances and share a weapon level, differentiated by the effect of that, when equipped, they increase the wielder's defense and resistance by 1, and, on average, they have lower might.

English	Naginata	Naginata (literally, "mowing hatchet") are a traditional Japanese polearm consisting of a short, curved blade mounted on a pole with a handguard. They first gained notoriety in the 12th century for their effectiveness against cavalry, but they eventually lost their battlefield relevance and were adopted by noblewomen as defensive weapons. They resemble the European glaives.
